One man’s mission to share with the world the fine art of cufflinks.
Each blog a different pair and each blog a different story. Read on in this series....
Your scribe has a soft spot for all cities built on canals….Venice and St Petersburg are up there but one of my favourites is Copenhagen….Wonderful Wonderful Copenhagen.
The Danes have a proud heritage in architectural design that throws out household names like Utzon, Jacobsen and Larsen……Sydney Australia has been blessed with the magical Sydney Opera House by Jorn Utzon. One of the great architectural public buildings of our time and a World Heritage Listed building. Jorn is of course an honorary Australian and the Australians have an honorary Dane in Princess Mary….perhaps one of the more popular Royals any where in the world.
Not only do the Danes excel in the architectural world but they have a most distinct design style that is recognisable any where. Furniture and jewellery are but elements that your scribe has a passion for in Danish design. A Hennigsen lamp or a Jacobsen chair is a must in any well planned home. But in the field of jewellery where the Link Man is concerned, Danish design provides a distinctive flair that no other cuff links can.
A visit to Copenhagen has two absolute musts…..the Danish Architecture and Design Centre and of course Christiania. For those currently involved in the “Occupy” movement, Christiania is the lamp on the hill of all occupy movements. A sort of micro-nation with its own laws, Freetown Christiania is the embodiment of alternative and communal living….a must visit when you’re there in Copenhagen for an alternative gallery visit or that organic macro wholemeal night out!!!
Today’s links are representative of all things retro, peak 70’s dapper and Denmark. They are copper metal fusion that blares out…..”I am from Denmark!!!!!” Acquired in a small antique design gallery.
Worn with a silk Gucci neck tie and brushed cotton shirt.
