This is an amazing place to live," says Western Harbour resident Anne Lisa Georgia James, 30, who was born and raised in Copenhagen. "The view changes every day because there are always new ships coming into the harbour.
The singular attractiveness of the water-front real estate is evident from the fact that [Malm]ö and Skåne were recently selected as one of the preliminary race venues of the 32nd America's Cup sailing competition. The arrival of a fleet of exclusive racing yachts and 12 teams from 10 different countries (August 24-September 4) is hailed as "the biggest thing to ever happen to Scandinavian sailing."
International expectations are sky-high when it comes to modern Danish architecture. This is especially true now that Copenhagen in January 2005 opened the doors of its se...

In 2008, London's Victoria & Albert Museum housed China Design Now -- the first exhibition in the UK to explore the explosion of contemporary design in China. The first major display in the developed world of modern China's creative industries, it was also an attempt to understand the impact of rapid economic development on architecture and design in China's major cities. Sponsored by the banking and financial services multinational HSBC, China Design Now is an example of how such companies are engaging in and promoting the creative industries in emerging markets.

Built in a traditional wooden courtyard building of the 1870'$, it was once home to the mistress of a sailor who used to visit her during his stays in Helsinki. There is some innuendo that he might not have been her only gentleman visitor, and so a boudoir theme developed for the artworks produced by artists and designers represented by Huippu Design Management. Stickers made from vintage photos of nudists and pin-ups, which now decorate the tiled wood-burning stove were made by Dog Design (also responsible for the graphic design of the Eurovision Song Contest soon to be hosted in Helsinki). An artwork of lipstick kisses on the window, by Antti Kotilainen, usually a designer of office furniture, is called 'Goodbye.' In th...

If the music blogs, rave reviews, and relentless touring hadn't accomplished it already, attention from network executives certainly suggests that artists from Sweden, Norway, and Iceland - women in particular - are reaching an excited authence that's anxious to hear something fresh yet familiar, genuine yet defiant of genre. Something these accomplished musicians do well. Case in point: last summer Robyn was a guest on David Letterman's show, and Conan chose fellow Swede Lykke Li for an August taping of his program. Now that the trail has been blazed however, who will be the next to catch American ears?
