The ultimate guide to interior design shopping in Copenhagen

For lovers of Scandinavian design – or interior design in general – Copenhagen has a lot to offer. But navigating the city’s spread-out retail landscape might feel a bit daunting with the many options available. In this guide, we pick the cream of the crop of design shops and showrooms in and around the Danish capital.

Frama Studio Store

Frama Studio Store is the creative headquarters of the Danish design brand Frama, located on a quiet street in the royal neighbourhood near Nyboder. The brand’s contemporary and simple designs stand in stark contrast to the traditional interiors of the old pharmacy, which dates back to 1878. In 2022, Frama added a new dimension to its multidimensional and ever-changing space, which now also houses Apotek 57, a café within the store’s walls.

Paustian

If you want to do your interior design shopping in an ambience overflowing with old-school elegance, the Danish design firm Paustian is the place to go. The concept shop, housed in a former bank with original armoured vaults, majestic, column-supported arches, and marble embellishments, provides modest design artefacts as well as a chosen range of mid-century, modern, and contemporary furniture. The range comprises design icons like Vitra, Artek, and Cassina, as well as new accessories, lifestyle goods, and design items from emerging firms.

Normann Copenhagen

A 1936 printing house in the heart of town is the new home to Normann Copenhagen, the Danish furniture and design brand founded by Jan Andersen and Poul Madsen in 1999. While preserving the building’s unique features such as the exposed reinforced concrete beams, The Normann Galleries’ three floors feature a striking colour palette that changes character while moving up – from greys and minty greens to sunny yellows and poppy and ruby reds – and feature some of the brand’s well-known designs alongside newer pieces.
