The fishing harbour and marina is a natural centre of the town. It is small and charming with plenty of atmosphere  and many traditions such as: sitting enjoying life for a while, building, repairing or fiddling with your boat, watching or participating in regattas, going fishing in a rowing boat, taking a stroll down the pier at sunset, crab fishing or eating fish & chip.

Dansk Design

"K2T Wisata"

A visit to Danish Design Centre is an extraordinary experience. Changing exhibitions present the best of Danish, Scandinavian and international design – from classic design icons to works by young, experimental designers. Danish Design Centre is situated in the heart of Copenhagen in a building designed by renowned Danish architect Henning Larsen.

Deep into its soul, Denmark is a design nation. Danish design became a concept known worldwide in the 1950s and 1960s and reflects the essence of Danish culture and self-perception: user-friendliness and an open and democratic approach to life. In the 21st century, the Danish design tradition lives on as inspiration to a new generation of designers. Over the second half of the 20th century Danish design has developed, and today the expression is broader than the familiar stylistic icons from the 1950s and 1960s.

In a country where the winter months offer little daylight, the home and interior design are a high priority. The Danes indulge in outdoor activities in the summer, but in the winter they seek shelter indoors and spend most of their time at home. Consequently, the Danes spend more time and money on their home than most other people in the world. Design furniture is passed down from generation to generation and design has become accessible to everybody.

The Danish Design Centre is Denmark’s professional knowledge centre for design and innovation. The main aim of the center is to carry out design and innovation activities aimed at Danish businesses with the purpose of improving their competitiveness. The design centre plays a key role in the implementation of this design policy, partly through a range of design and innovation activities aimed at Danish businesses.

The Danish Design Center engages in a wide range of activities, including workshops, guidance, dialogue meetings and conferences. These business activities aim to generate a greater understanding of the use of design and innovation in practice as an integrated element of a company’s business development efforts with the purpose of creating competitive products. In addition to the exhibition space the building also houses a shop, cafe and a conference center.
