COPENHAGEN DESIGN WEEK

27 August– 6 September 2009

For more than a week, Copenhagen was a buzz with activities and events revolving around design, as the first international design week unfolded from the 27 August 2009. Copenhagen Design Week presented design that matters for society and the environment through a series of exhibitions, seminars and events.Highlights include: INDEX, the world’s largest prize for design that improves life; IT’S A SMALL WORLD, a major exhibition that explored ‘new craftsmanship’ in design, craft and architecture; COPENHAGEN SHOWHOW, a showcase of sustainable design; and NEXT VISION BRIGHT GREEN FASHION, a collaboration between Berlin and Copenhagen in which new talents presented sustainable fashion trends.

Together these events were meant to tell a story about where design is today and where it’s going—making Copenhagen Design Week the essential event for a changing world.
