This charming shop specializes in handmade ceramics and children’s knits that exhibit a delight in modern shapes and bright colors. Sweaters and overalls may be striped in sherbert hues and bowls and plates splashed with metallic bursts. The effect on a child or in a kitchen: a sunny lift even in the darkest Nordic winters.

This enormous trove displays a vast array of Danish design products and handicrafts, such as pretty painted ceramics, felt pillows and kitchen wares. Also in the 11,000-square-foot space are the workshops of some of Copenhagen’s most skilled artisans who make and sell whimsical jewelry, elegant glassware and innovative furniture pieces.

A visionary concept store with a speciality in home design, Gubi sells sophisticated Scandinavian décor ranging from beds and side tables to mirrors and lamps. The products offer a range of styles from 20^th-century classic to contemporary and trendy.

Goldsmith Michael Stroem sells his handmade jewelry out of the front of his workshop. He has a number of collections, including one inspired by nature and another by Renaissance designs. The Kuglen line is more modern with rings that look strings of gold beads.

Stasia is where Danish leading ladies shop for show-stopping gowns, suits, evening wear and wedding dresses. The colors tend to be quite classic–lots of black, white, gray and red—but it is the tailor that reveals the artistry. Many women order couture pieces and everything can be altered to fit perfectly.

This modern, design-minded shop stocks a curated selection of home décor items, accessories and jewelry in a white, minimalist space. While the products reflect the newest trends in Scandinavian design, Stilleben also displays a wide variety of tasteful pieces from around the world.

This quirky shop has a beautiful selection of lingerie. The pastel-colored underpinnings with 1950s-inspired details are the stars here, but the vintage costume jewelry and soft cardigans are also lovely.
