This is a special report from our super world-traveling friend Susan Serra, CKD from Bornholm Kitchen and author of thekitchendesigner.org . Copenhagen Design Week , a collection of design events, talks, and exhibitions all over Copenhagen,was held September 1-6th, with the theme “Think Human.” Think Human is an expression of today, yet an old Danish design philosophy that has its roots in human-friendly solutions to product development. Code 11 , an exhibition of (primarily) innovative Scandinavian interior design products states its priorities as: “design of high quality, peculiar ideas and crooked thoughts.” In this case, crooked = AMAZING!

Copenhagen Design Week 2011

Christina Skouloudi Design Studio and Athanasios Babalis collaborated this year on a series of sculptural forms for the tabletop. Called the Argonaut collection , the series of six objects (five wood and one steel) were designed and made in Greece, but will travel the world in exhibitions, not unlike the journey of the Argonauts.

Take a peak at these modular wall designs brought to us by 3Form. Both of these two wall systems can be easily removed and rearranged as easily as a pair of socks! Such designs are great for exhibitions, retail stores or any location in which the decor changes often.

The photo above is the Wovin Wall from 3Form that is a series of  alternating tiles matched together to create a three-dimensional design. The Wovin Wall is available in many material options, such as wood veneer, anodized aluminum and polyresin. Depending on the material chosen, there is also a wide selection of color combinations available for the Wovin Wall.

Similar to the Wovin Wall, is the Wave Wall, seen in the second photo here. The wave effect of the Wave Wall is created by placing tiles in grooved aluminum extrusions. It is available in two patterns: continuous or alternating. Made in the same materials as the Wovin Wall, the Wave Wall is also available in a large variety of colors.

I’m thinking these would look great in an office space or hotel, or even as a funky wall piece in your home. Where would you use the Wovin or Wave Walls?
