Unpacking Copenhagen's "Lifesize"

Denmark's capital, Copenhagen, is often described as the "happiest city" or a "compact city." What is the lifestyle like for those who actually live there? This volume delves into the concept of "lifesize," exploring the city through three distinct perspectives: place, people, and things.

Interspersed with beautiful landscape photography by local artists, the book introduces "Superkilen," a concept park drawing global attention, and the cutting-edge development district "Ørestad." Featured individuals include TOBIAS JACOBSSON, product designer and grandson of architect Arne Jacobsen; KATRINE GISLINGE, Denmark's beloved classical pianist; the ceramic artist duo "TORTUS COPENHAGEN"; and "I'm A Kombo," who recently garnered buzz for their food performance at a Nicolai Bergmann art reception in Aoyama. The book showcases a diverse array of talents.
