It reminded us very much of Vinçon in Barcelona (see earlier post here) and The Conran shop in NYC (now closed) and the UK. This store is located on busy…

    Strandgade, Copenhagen – part 2

    Continuing with the tour of our rental apartment in Copenhagen (København, Danemark)… part 1 is here. This is our oversized living room with windows facing the Ministry of Foreign Affairs across Strandgade.
