Normann Copenhagen goes Glamping

Claire Sullivan - Tuesday, April 28, 2009

Several years ago we coined the phrase 'Glamping' to refer to our idea of camping; taking our favourite designer furniture pieces with us to the great outdoors. Clearly our idea has reached as far as Denmark, where the good folks at Normann Copenhagen have this year launched their new Camping Chair and Daybed, with the idea of adding a touch of class to outdoor pursuits. Using minimal materials the series focuses on craftsmanship and traditional techniques that don't involve any form of screws or nails, instead using notching and leather webbing to create each piece by hand. Normann Copenhagen is available locally at Design Denmark.
