French Industry at No. 40 in Copenhagen

February 18, 2014

Danes seeking a break from honeyed wood and soft Gustavian grays can find refuge at No. 40 Copenhagen. The ultimate retro-modern man cave, the shop presents an eclectic array of French vintage and industrial goods: weighty metal files, dramatically scaled lighting, medical ward cast offs, and vintage locker room fare. There’s also texture–woven baskets and rustic farmhouse tables–to punctuate the darkness. A healthy dose of curios, sprinkled with goods of a more intimate scale, further broaden No 40’s appeal.
