Soaking Up Design and Danish Culture: Our annual work trip to Copenhagen 🇩🇰

The event was a celebration of creativity in all forms: from product and graphic design to architecture, lighting, and lifestyle. Set across beautiful showrooms, galleries, and hidden design gems around the city, we found inspiration everywhere. Talks from industry leaders, stunning exhibits, and hands-on experiences made it incredibly hard to pick just a few photos. For anyone in the creative field, it’s a must-attend.

We left feeling truly inspired (and, yes, slightly exhausted 😅) — but with a definite spring in our step. Having time to step back from the day-to-day, immerse ourselves in world-class creativity, and hear from leading voices in the industry helps keep our work fresh, relevant, and on-trend.

Living like locals: Exploring Copenhagen beyond design

Of course, we didn’t just stick to the galleries. Copenhagen is made for slow exploration — and we did it the local way: on bikes. Gliding along the city’s bike-friendly streets and canals made everything feel accessible, relaxed, and full of charm.

We soaked up the sunshine (yes, we were lucky with lovely weather 🌞) while enjoying some incredible food and drink. Local favourites like smørrebrød (open-faced rye bread sandwiches), Rød Pølse (Danish Hot Dogs) and the unbeatable flæskestegssandwich (roast pork in a bun, Danish-style) were just a few of the culinary highlights. Whether we were grazing at Reffen street food market, grabbing coffee in the Meatpacking District, or winding down with drinks at a waterside bar, Copenhagen served up flavour with flair.

Some trip highlights included:

🌿 Tivoli Gardens — a dreamy, historic amusement park full of charm

🌆 CopenHill — yes, the power plant with a ski slope on top. Only in Copenhagen!

🍽️ Reffen — street food heaven with global eats and laid-back vibes

🚴‍♀️ Biking like locals through the Meatpacking District and beyond

🌇 Design events spread throughout the city — in courtyards, lofts, boats, and beyond

Why do we do these annual trips?

At the heart of these annual trips is our commitment to staying creatively energised, connected, and curious. Stepping outside of our usual environment allows us to absorb fresh perspectives, explore new trends, and be inspired by the best in the industry — and each other.

These shared experiences help us return with not only renewed motivation but with real insight that feeds directly into the work we do. It’s how we keep our ideas sharp, our thinking bold, and our work on the cutting edge. Here’s to bringing that energy into everything we create this year.

Whether you come for the design or stay for the hygge, Copenhagen is the kind of place that refills your creative tank and leaves you wanting more. Until next time!
