Den Plettede Gris Cafe | Copenhagen (DK)

Papirøen, a former paper mill harbourside plot in the Christianshavn neighbourhood, has a new coffee shop by Danish designer Henrik Vibskov. The creative talent who is largely known for his eponymous fashion label opened Den Plettede Gris (The Spotted Pig) after a condition on his nearby office lease stated that the land must include a public coffee bar. The social hangout occupies a nineteenth century farmhouse style building and is painted black with the exterior design said to be inspired by the interior of a piano.

Vibskov, who regularly hosts his Copenhagen Fashion Week shows in Papirøen's industrial surround, ensured that the cafe is filled with natural light and features homemade furniture and improvised sitting solutions in order to create a comfortable environment not overpowered by the dark facade. If you get the chance to visit, take a moment to enjoy the view of the tranquil harbour.
