This past August I took a spin through North Modern in Copenhagen, a new design fair focusing on Scandinavian furniture and interiors (and one of the most compelling shows I’ve seen in a while). My favorite find" Oje-Blik, an upstart furniture and housewares line from Cecilie and Daniel Noer, a Copenhagen couple that lives half the year, with their three girls, in a tiny house they built for themselves in the village of Roskilde, about 20 miles west of the city.
“We designed the house together,” Cecilie says. “It was Daniel’s idea to model the house after a circus wagon, which is long and narrow. As a result, I know how to make use of every little inch of space.” The couple also used almost 90 percent reclaimed materials in the construction; “We designed the house around a leftover set of windows we found while driving around the countryside,” Cecilie says. “I think that windows should be on the top three priority list when you’re building a house. It’s so important; when I’m inside, I don’t feel any division between the inside and outside.” Join us for a tour.
