EVENT
DINE & DESIGN: COMMUNITY DINING AT THE DESIGN MUSEUM
Thursday 10 September at 18.00
Twice a month, Designmuseum Danmark invites guests to something as simple and yet increasingly rare as a shared meal set in the middle of Danish design history. We gather in the museum’s café, and if the weather allows, we dine outside at long tables in the museum’s garden.
We bring Danish classics back to life, both the ones on your plate and the ones surrounding you.
GET TO KNOW A DANISH DESIGN CLASSIC
While you enjoy your meal, we shine a light on a beloved Danish design classic that you most likely know from your own home. For each gathering, we select a new icon and unfold its story, from the first pencil strokes to its place in our shared cultural heritage. It is design history at eye level, presented as a quiz, a short talk, or an interactive game while we dine together.
A SHARED MEAL SERVED ON LARGE SHARING PLATTERS
Just as the furniture classics are given new life, we give the classics of Danish cuisine a green twist. Think vegetarian forloren hare, brændende kærlighed, or skipperlabskovs, served on large sharing platters so the conversation can flow freely during the servings.
