Favorite item from your collection to your children and yourselves:
T: Children’s favorite item is for my son, our “Siggi” hoddie with the bear and the embroidered tie made by artist Lisa Grue. I can barely get it washed before he wears it again.
Ida loves the “Lola” Skirt with the black and aubergine stripes and braided gold and leather belt, along with the pink “Bella Rabbit” long-tee, a super cute set ..
For myself, the checkered men’s shirt “Viola”, along with the black Tyra sweat pants, is among my favorites.
B :: Our soft black sweat “reverse” series is really nice and cool in its simplicity. Siggi is especially fond of the baggy sweat pants, along with the cream “Toby” t-shirt with a printed
wolf created by artist Claire Scully.
Nola love “Adele” dress in black melange and with a little round collar, put together with our black soft slubyarn gaiters.
I have been really pleased with the wide striped aubergine Vera coat, which can be used both indoors and outdoors ..
Favorite thing to do with your children in DK.
T: Zoological Museum in the Winter or a walk in the woods when the autumn colors starts to shown or when the woods are filled with anemones …
Biking or Louisiana where we very quickly end up in children’s workshop ..
B: On weekends we simply enjoy just to be with each other, in playgrounds, parks, play basketball in Ryesgade in Nørrebro and eat cake and coffee at the cafe … We very much enjoyed not havin big plans, but just be impulsive depending on weather and mood desires ..
Favorite shop for yourself and the children
T: For the Children: Søstjernen, Petite Calin or Normann CPH where we can all find something nice ….
For my self: Strøm, Acne, Trois Pommes shoes or vintage.
B: For the children: Do I need nice shoes, underwear and good basics I go to Milibe in Frederiksberg.
If i´m in Copenhagen City I always stop by COS’s and usually always go out with something for both kids and myself.
I also love to shop online and you can be sure to find really nice things on www.lillefigaro.dk and www.smallable.com.
When it comes to myself ACNE and Wood Wood are my favorites. Do I need to find something in my own neighborhood, I go to Nué on Gl.Kongevej, which has a good mixed selection of brands for both eveningand everyday use .. Looking for something unique and classic I go to Par Terre.. The one “art” of clothing after another!
Favorite city when in traveling
T: L.A. – We went there last Easter with the kids it was Amazing!!
We stayed in Santa Monica for some time right in front of the beach which is full of life! People who exercise, children playing. Cosy streets with delicious organic shops, restaurants, yoga and good coffee .. and not to mention Disney Land and Universal close to as well. L.A is a good combination of all …
B: We were all 4 in New York some years ago, where we had rented an apartment in Manhattan. It was an amazing experience for both the kids and us. The plan was to move the work over for a month, to experience the daily life in new environment and to be inspired again. While we worked during the day, Siggi and Nola was looked after by two lovely American women, who took them to all the many playgrounds and museums for children. By the middle of the day when we finished at work, went out and saw the city together til it was dark. Siggi and Nola loved it, and talked to everybody – in Danish with a little English in between .. . I often dream about doing it again.
