Copenhagen’s design ethos is not merely about objects — it is a living dialogue between heritage, craftsmanship, and contemporary thinking. For the design-savvy traveler, the city’s interiors showrooms offer immersive encounters with Danish mastery and avant-garde expression.
Illums Bolighus
Anchored in Amagertorv, Illums Bolighus is the grand temple of Scandinavian design. This flagship destination presents the full spectrum of furniture, lighting, homeware, and lifestyle pieces, curated with gallery-like precision. A visit here offers an education in both timeless classics and cutting-edge contemporary design.
Fritz Hansen Showroom
The Fritz Hansen showroom reveals the full universe of one of Denmark’s most celebrated design houses. From Arne Jacobsen’s Egg and Swan chairs to contemporary collaborations, the space embodies Danish modernism’s continuing influence, presented in refined, light-filled rooms.
Paustian
Set within an old bank building, Paustian pairs architectural grandeur with contemporary design. Marble columns and lofty ceilings frame an expansive showroom that houses a broad range of Danish and international furniture and design objects.
Frama Studio Store
Located in a repurposed 19th-century apothecary, Frama Studio Store is a serene sanctuary of minimalist interiors. Its spaces are atmospheric and tactile, offering furniture, lighting, and objects that balance austerity with warmth.
Studio Oliver Gustav
Housed in the elegant 1920s Museumsbygningen, Studio Oliver Gustav is part gallery, part interiors atelier. Bespoke furniture, objets d’art, and carefully curated antiques are displayed as though in a private residence, creating an immersive experience for the visitor.
Pakhus 48
Once a port-side warehouse, Pakhus 48 now hosts multiple Danish design showrooms under one roof, including Fritz Hansen, Kvadrat, Erik Jørgensen, VOLA, and Montana. Its industrial setting provides a dramatic stage for exploring Denmark’s leading interiors brands in one visit.
Danish Design
Together, these showrooms form a mosaic of Copenhagen’s design narrative — from heritage icons to experimental voices. Unlike generic retail spaces, they are immersive environments where architecture, craft, and culture intersect. To step inside is to experience Danish design not as commodity but as a way of life.
