Brief Itinerary

Pick up bikes (self-guided rental)

Collect city bikes or a dockless rental to move at your own pace for the next three days. Choose a sturdy commuter or a cargo-assist if you have a tote of sketchbooks.

20m

Designmuseum Danmark — introductory show & material close-ups

Start with Danish furniture, product and industrial design across eras; focus on original pieces and the museum’s material displays to set the trip’s language of detail.

1h 30m

Bike transfer to Illums Bolighus

Short pedal through central streets to Copenhagen’s flagship design emporium — use bike lanes and watch for tram tracks.

15m

Illums Bolighus — department-store tour of Scandinavian makers

Browse curated Danish and Nordic furniture, lighting and ceramics; concentrate on contemporary collaborations and rotating pop-ups.

30m

Lunch — Høst (modern Nordic interior & plating as design)

Dine in an interior that reflects Scandinavia’s restrained palette and thoughtful tableware — the meal itself reads like a design study.
