Copenhagen Classico vintage bike race a huge success
Last Sunday we gathered more than 150 enthusiastic people who all had polished their vintage/retro bike and dressed up for the occasion. We then set off for a 22km tour around the city with two stops – to drink coffee and champagne respectively. And of course to admire each others bikes and outfit. In other words a very tough day which luckily came with good food & beverages at the finishing line. See for yourself what a... [ ]

5 Questions with Stig Andersen
Hats have been around for a very long time. They can protect you from the elements, advertise your favorite sports franchise or even be a status symbol. In the era of mass production, most hats are replicated in the millions then carelessly distributed. Yet in a Copenhagen workshop, the craft of hat making survives and thrives. I recently sat down with the second generation hat maker Stig Andersen to ask him a few questions about him... [ ]

5 Questions with Jakob Munk
The landscape of the city changes over time to fulfill the needs of its people. There seems to be a global trend for meatpacking districts to evolve into creative and artistic zones – Copenhagen is no exception. Located in the middle of Kødbyen, ‘Butchers and Bicycles’ is a startup cargo bike company that perfectly sums up both location and product. I recently sat down with the brand director of Butchers and Bicycles Jakob Munk to chat... [ ]

Orderly Disorder
Work spaces at different scales can be quite photogenic. When zoomed in close enough, even the most organized system will exhibit departures from order.

In their stylish showroom and assembly shop, the three design-engineers hand build uncompromising cargo trikes with unique handling features and safety details. “Although there are many obvious benefits of cargo bikes, as we know them, they have so far lagged the joy of cycling. We have set out to change that”. So says the team... [ ]

5 Questions with Inge Vincents
The notion of design is occasionally driven by a deeper curiosity for the elements. A main source of inspiration for Inge is light. Working with the highest quality of creamy white porcelain, her work underlines the powerful combination of organic contours and high translucency. I recently sat down with Inge in her boutique/ studio space at Jægersborggade 27 to find out more about her.Why ceramics? I’ve always been creative, sewing costumes for myself as a kid. At... [ ]

Meet BA Handmade – newest member
BA Handmade has since 1929 specialized in making brushes and brooms covered with hair, plant fibers and other materials to achieve optimum performance and durability. What is so particularly interesting about BA Handmade is their great products which are all made by blind people – or people who are visually impaired. BA is a social-economic company which only hires people with a visual impairment. CPHmade is happy to welcome companies which are non-traditional in the sense that... [ ]

Testing product quality
Some weeks back, I took part in a discussion about quality. Even though the discussion was between friends and family, it was a tough one and all we agreed on disagreeing. You see quality is not an easy subject to come around, especially if the money issue is brought up as part the hard-heated discussion. We are kind of the same audience, same buying power and equally same wish to be surrounded by good stuff.... [ ]
