i have to say, i'm very much into scandinavian architecture and interior design. i like them using wood and the colour white a lot, and i like the simplicity of their forms, which all have some little twist to them.
when you drive around denmarks countryside, every once in a while a lonely thatched cottage with whitewashed walls and small windows appears out of nowhere with a sign at the entrance saying 'gallery' and loads of pottery, selfmade candles or artfully blown vases of glas waiting inside.
on the afternoon that we spent in aalborg i was exploring the streets with barely knowledge where exactly i was, i just drifted along. after i stumbled into a little art store, bought a danish cookbook (i don't speak danish at all but cookbook language is kind of universal in a way), i finally came across 'hjelmerstald', some narrow streets that looked like taken out of a picture book and housed ateliers all over – and a garden totally made of ceramics. i wish i would have had more time to take a closer look. but i guess this wasn't my last visit to aalborg and next time i know where i'll be going first.
