There are other department stores in Copenhagen but the house/home store of Illums Bolighus is fantastic. We were told we would likely find a particular souffle dish there--we needed to replace one we'd broken in our exchange apartment. If that dish hadn't crashed to the floor, we wouldn't have discovered this gorgeous store, filled with all the top Nordic and European brands of homewares, marimekko, iittala, Design House Stockholm to name a few. The displays were stunning--check out the rainbow of colors of Peugeot pepper mills, the glorious KitchenAid mixers and racks of pretty Marimekko paper napkins. In the big glass tubs are cool looking clothespins (the Danes like to dry clothes outside in summer, these pins would make the job more fun).
You see the lanterns? Many houses in our neighborhood in Copenhagen had lanterns such as these at the front door; I've been looking here at home for cute ones like these, without any luck so far.
