A recent exhibition at New York's Trygve lie Gallery featured the works - photography, painting, and mixed media - of six Danish artists, all living and working in New York. Their reasons varied for making the move over the Atlantic to the City of Bright Lights. "The city itself and a woman" lured Henrik Rehr over. Finn Fons was bored with what photography had to offer in Denmark and "fell in love with New York instantly" during a vacation.

Whatever the reasons, there's little doubt New York has been a faithful muse to the entire group.
Snohetta, the Oslo-based architectural company which is named for Norway's second-largest mountain, is an internationally renowned name in architecture. Snohetta designed Egypt's strikingly beautiful Alexandria Library, Bibliotheca Alexandrina, as well as Oslo's new opera house. Snohetta was also commissioned to design the Museum Pavilion that will serve as the entrance to the Memorial Museum at the World Trade Center. A generous public space, the roof, or roofscape, is built with 35,000 white Italian marble slabs, covers an area of some 18,000 square meters, and overlooks the Oslofjord and downtown Oslo.

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...

The chair is actually a complex piece of little sculpture that supports the body in an unnatural position. Chair designs reflect culture and different time periods. They also reveal much about people both socially and culturally. Chair design encompasses the elements of functionality, quality, economics, ecologic awareness and aesthetics. That chairs are more than just something to sit on is exemplified in Swiss furniture company Vitra's renowned chair designs.
