Copenhagen A Green City
The Danes.
They are among the happiest people in the world.
Study after study confirms that.
In part it is their attitude.
If there is a problem they do something about it.
And thus they always manage to be ahead of most other countries.
Right now being more environmentally conscientious is big in Denmark.
And in Copenhagen they're right on it.
It's all about cars coming into the city.
Imagine if this was proposed in Vancouver.

Bruno Mathsson - Designer Par Excellence
The year was 1937.
The place was Paris.
It was the World Fair where Danish furniture designer Bruno Mathsson gained the recognition that marked him as a major talent.
Two years later in 1939 he had an exhibition of some of his furniture at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
Today he is considered one of the greatest designers ever.
His breakthrough came when he invented the technique of bending laminated wood.
The net result was a line of furniture that is unsurpassed in elegance and ergonomic function.
Each piece of furniture he created bore a female name such Eva, Mina, Miranda and Pernilla etc.
In the 1960s Mathsson turned his talent to tubular steel in designing his furniture.
Take a look at some of his amazing furniture, especially his chairs.
This website has excellent pictures of just but some of the items he produced.
