Kaare Klint

Kaare Klint was a danish architect and furniture designer who has also been called the father of danish modern design. He began designing furniture in 1914, with some of his more famous designs coming out 20 years later. For me true modern design is something that is still relevant 50,100,200 years later, and that is absolutely the case with Kaare Klint pieces.

Collector

I have never been one to collect things. When something new comes in, something old goes out. I can appreciate a true collectors passion, it must be exciting to hunt for rare objects and satisfying when you find them. Without realizing it, I have become a collector of Kay Bojesen figures. The first one given to me was the small Monkey as a wedding gift and the most recent one I was given is the Royal Guardsman. These objects are beautiful, well crafted and playful. They sit on a bookshelf in our office, adding a little bit of fun to an otherwise boring room.

Horsholm




Danish Architecture brings a smile to my face. It is simple in design and often times colorful. Here are some shots from my trip.
