Danish Design

If anybody is looking for ideas how to improve the world we live he should go to Copenhagen to the Danish Design Centre. It is impressive and I mean it. I spent 3 hours in altogether 4 rooms watching films, listening to interviews and discovering what it means to design our environment and tools in a way which is pleasant, intuitive and useful.
The concept of design is not as easy as it seems. It is about research what the users need, it is about planning and implementation. You can go to the website to see how the concept is explored by the Scandinavians!
And even more, the Danes are crazy enough to implement this concept. You can see it in the trams that circulate in the town.
Europe has plenty things to discover... you just need to leave Brussels for a weekend :)
