Where to find vintage in Copenhagen, according to people who actually do

The rule first: go on a weekday, early, and buy the thing you keep returning to within the first twenty minutes.

The basement in Nørrebro for coats and knitwear. Ask for the back rail.The shop near the lakes for tailoring, priced sensibly and altered on site.The design dealer who keeps Danish chairs and will tell you honestly what has been re-upholstered.The Saturday market that is worth one hour and no more.

The architect who edits before she adds

Copenhagen architect Mette Lind builds by subtraction. We asked her what she keeps, where she eats, and the one hotel she returns to every spring.

Hotels · Mallorca

A hotel on Mallorca with eleven rooms and no ambition to grow

It has no spa, no restaurant guide entry and no rooftop bar. It has lime-washed walls, a fig tree, and a woman named Nuria who remembers how you take your coffee.
