I'm starting the week with a look around a stunningly beautiful space: the VIPP Chimney House, set in Copenhagen's up-and-coming Nordhavn area.

I have another highlight from 3 Days of Design to share with you today, and it's a place that definitely merits a dedicated post of its own.

[Advertisement - this post features gifted items, but all words and opinions are my own] The subject of the latest instalment in my 'focus on' series is a particularly special one for me, as it's the first design classic I ever treated myself to after Chris and I bought our first home: the 'Kubus' candleholder, created by Danish architect Mogens Lassen back in 1962.
