Description
Imagine walking through the busy streets of Frederiksberg in Copenhagen on
a sunny day, with pedestrians crossing the streets and cars rushing by, with
no intention of stopping.
This is, however, precisely what happened, for a couple of minutes during one memorable spring of 1959. Having seen a duck family lost in the city, a policeman found the time to stop the traffic, for just a moment, in order to let cross the street, undisturbed.
This extraordinary and beautiful moment was branded in the minds of the Danes. All newspapers wrote about it and no one could forget charming duck family. It is from this even that Hans Bølling was inspired to create the Duck family.
The Duck family captures this exact moment, with all of its serenity and harmony and demonstrates the Danish attention to nature and detail with the ability to appreciate small everyday miracles.

The ARCHITECTMADE collection is comprised of design objects designed by Denmark’s most recognized architects such as Utzon, Kjærholm, Juhl, Vedel and Karpf.
Often these architects' ideas are seated deep within their heart, until finally they see the light of day. According to Kristian Vedel, the ideas from the inside emerged and developed over a period of time until he simply couldn’t help it. He simply had to execute them by bringing his designs to life in order to share his ideas and passion with others.
All of the architects, represented by ARCHITECTMADE, have designed their objects with firm belief in simple and sophisticated aesthetics, while positioning functionality at their core. This process resulted in a clear crystallization and conceptualization of the product in its purest, simplest and most refined form. This is the key characteristic of the essence of Modern Danish design, which all of ARCHITECMADE products encompass.
