Copenhagen has a mission and that mission is to become the cleanest city in Europe before 2015. We all know huge goals require enormous measures so Vipp created a mega bin that is constructed 8:1 in scale of their original pedal bin – that’s 8.2 feet (2.5 meters) tall and over 6 feet (2 meters) wide! The mega bin will be on display throughout the city as a reminder to keep Copenhagen clean and green. Check it out on its journey: The mega bin weighs 1763.7 lbs.

While in Copenhagen last year, we had a chance to stop off at the Danish Design Center to see Denmark by Design . The exhibit shows the development in Danish design from 1945 to 2010, with iconic pieces popular in the homes, workplaces and public arena from the time it was introduced to today. The exhibit starts out with Kay Bojesen’s wooden toy monkey, an assortment of LEGO bricks, and Arne Jacobsen’s City Hall clock, designed in 1956. The aluminum coffee and water jugs were designed by Erik Herlow in 1955. See the aqua nesting bowls in the foreground?

Copenhagen-based French designer Aurelien Barbry has designed the Fossa sofa for COR . It’s a lounger or a sofa — even a sectional, depending on how to arrange it. Fossa is flexible and functions according to the principle of change: cushion elements find a place in recesses where they are inserted, moved or removed. In doing so, another new piece of furniture is created for relaxing, reading, listening to music, alone, etc

Materials: 2 Hyllis shelving units, a good screwdriver Description: The Hyllis is a nice piece of furniture to begin with, in my opinion, despite the awful name.Simple, honest metal and a few screws. Lovely. Also, the Hyllis is embarrasingly cheap. The idea is simple – stock to units on top of each other. Save space, get a cooler looking piece of furniture

The Roulade is my design find today, and I think it’s a really great one. In what I can best describe as Togo meets Chesterfield, this piece combines multiple styles and influences into one captivating and intriguing piece. It’s the work of Kilo Design, a Copenhagen based, idea-driven industrial design firm.

There’s not too much information available about the Roulade yet, but these images are enough to have me already wanting one (at least!) for myself.
