Amazing Design And Amazing Style
Most of us know all about Danish furniture.
Its classic clean-cut lines. That modern contemporary look that fits well into any home.
But how many know about what else the Danes are great at.
Check out this website by Royal Copenhagen.
All we can say is wow.
Verner Panton And His Revolutionary Designs
Verne Panton.
A revolutionary Danish designer.
His modern chairs and lighting was radical in its approach.
It was unlike anything his Scandinavian contemporaries produced.
His design was almost space-like in its approach and his use of vibrant colours was a first, a sharp contrast with the rest of his fellow designers who preferred muted and sedate colours.
But his work was astounding for its elegance and remarkable diversity.
Some of his chairs had no apparent back and no legs and looked like a sculpted cylinder.

Vietnamese Food - Delish And So Cheap
The flavours are complex, a hint of this, a hint of that, all adding up to a delicious-tasting dish.
This is Pho Beef rice noodle soup served with condiments of bean sprout, basil leaves, hot chili peppers and a wedge of lime.
Our version of Pho Beef is called Pho Tai with slices of rare beef atop the soup.
At $5 for a small version ($5.85 for the large) this is a bargain.
We are having lunch at Pho Tan, a small, elegant Vietnamese restaurant, with a simple black and white interior color scheme.
Service is quick and staff is more than willing to recommend dishes if your knowledge of Vietnamese food is lacking.
Among some dishes we have tried - shrimp cake, two of them for $6. Pho Bo Satay noodle soup in peanut sauce and coconut milk ($6.50 for a large bowl). A recommendation by the waiter. We were hesitant, but tried it, and it was outstanding.
Dinner for two would come to about $38 before tip.
Pho Tan has an extensive menu aside from its soups.
Credit cards are not accepted, cash only.
