The Danish and Norwegians can rejoice today as one of their shared cultural landmarks and the birthplace of two of their most recent kings will no longer be closed to the public and sold to a private bidder Yet now the sale has been called off, with Mads Hedegaard, Director of Charlottenlund Palace, saying: ‘I was informed that the castle should not be sold, and I was happy about that. The risk of selling it could very easily have resulted in the castle being closed down for the public.’ It was built in 1733 in the Baroque style, but was remodelled in the French Renaissance revival style, according to its official website. Used primarily as a summer residence, with the royal family's main home being at Amalienborg Castle, it was the birthplace for two important monarchs.  Considering the rich history of these two leaders, there had been understandable outcry in both Denmark and Norway over the proposed sale.  SUPPORT OUR JOURNALISM: Please consider donating to keep our website running and free for all - thank you! Charlottenlund Palace in Denmark will no longer be sold. About two months ago, the plan was for Charlottenlund Palace to be put up for sale. The Danish Palaces and Culture Agency said that it no longer served a cultural purpose, but Danish Members of Parliament disagreed. Thus, the historic palace will not be sold. Mads Hedegaard, Director of Charlottenlund Palace, said: “I was informed that the castle should not be sold, and I was happy about that. The risk of selling it could very easily have resulted in the castle being closed down for the public.” Movie director Mads Hedegaard and art historian Christian Claudio Apostoli were very vocal in their opposition to the sale. They ensured that the case ended up in the Danish parliament. Denmark’s Parliament concluded that Charlottenlund Palace does not have to be sold, and they will uses the opportunity to plan for a closer interaction with the Palaces and Culture Agency in the future. They will also take more responsibility for the building’s maintenance. In 2017, Charlottenlund Palace was completely renovated and opened to the public. It currently hosts cultural events as well as provides meeting facilities for things like private weddings to company conferences. It also serves as an office building for the company Edora, a number of smaller companies and self-employed people who rent offices in the building. The building is an old royal summer residence where two kings were born – King Christian X of Denmark and King Haakon VII of Norway. The Danish Royal Family has not commented.

designer Hans Bølling unveils new furniture for Brdr Krüger and American Hardwood Export Council with an exhibition during 3 Days of Design 2022 in Copenhagen that reimagines the designer’s home sketches and handmade prototypes that point to a lifelong dedication to designing and making For all the wisdom that the years have brought he retains a boyish sense of curiosity and joy that immediately brings to mind his celebrated wooden animals: among them a family of dogs with articulated joints and floppy leather ears and a teak duck and duckling with moveable heads.  ‘I’ve been playing since I was 14 and some days I still stay in my workshop until twelve and making things out of wood,’ Bølling says He credits the midcentury design icon Ole Wanscher (the uncle of his wife of 62 years Søs) with instilling the importance of getting hands-on with materials The pieces riff on the wooden ‘Tray’ table a design from 1963 that he calls his proudest achievement the ‘Tray’ is a work of simple genius supported by a collapsible four-legged frame on wheels Each cylindrical leg is gently indented at the top where the user can place a finger and easily pull the frame in their direction ‘It’s an iconic and clever construction – strict in its appearance but with details that make it playful and appealing,’ says Jonas Krüger creative director and fifth-generation owner of Brdr Krüger The new ‘HB’ coffee table is the most direct translation of the ‘Tray’ made wider and lower and with its wheels removed the stool and lounge chair derive their four-leg structures from it The stool has an additional pair of horizontal bars at the top to support the canvas seating surface and an adjustable back cushion that can be slid up and down with a counterweight All feature traditional shoulder tenon joinery and there isn’t a single nail or screw architectural mindset with an inviting warmth – as Krüger points out ‘it’s a really fine line to get right’.  escapism and design stories from around the world direct to your inbox The Krüger family have worked with Bølling for decades: it was Jonas’ grandfather Helge who produced the first wooden duck in 1957 and Jonas’ father Niels who took over production of the ‘Tray’ in 1990 when Bølling wasn’t satisfied with the quality of production by another manufacturer Jonas has played an important role in the recent resurgence of interest in Bølling’s design output working closely with Bølling to revisit and refine unrealised prototypes ‘Hans is always extremely excited about trying to make new things and doesn’t have that huge body of work in furniture but my hope is that he will be seen as equally important as Børge Mogensen.’ Beyond the fact that they represent new work by a nonagenarian designer the Bølling collection pieces stand out for their range of woods but also American maple and American cherry The American options reflect a partnership with American Hardwood Export Council (AHEC) a forward-thinking trade association that has been flying the flag for American timber for more than three decades Whereas demand for European oak has long outstripped supply (the situation has been exacerbated by the war in Ukraine which has put significant pressure on European supply chains) cherry and red oak grow abundantly in American hardwood forests and remain underused explains that the council’s intention is not to displace European wood with American alternatives but rather to expand the choices available to designers and customers: ‘We want to put them in a position to go we have to change our reliance on a single wood source The Bølling collection calls for us to look at maple and cherry in a new light: as Krüger explains maple furniture often takes on a yellow hue that is unpopular among consumers so that the new pieces in maple have the light Cherry is often associated with high-gloss flooring popularised in the 1980s and still used on sailboats but here it appears much subtler and serves a more affordable alternative to walnut The red oak can be difficult to distinguish from European oak (‘red’ refers to the colour of its leaves in autumn but what is important is that red oak is grown over a wider region and there are more subspecies (Venables also highlights that bringing timber from the other side of the world does not necessarily mean a larger carbon footprint as long as the timber is transported by boat Sustainability is front of mind for AHEC and for Brdr Krüger which collects excess sawdust to heat its workshops.) Krüger and Venables all wish to emphasise the virtues of wood as a material that can cater to diverse aesthetic preferences but also serve as a carbon bank ‘If you maintain a wooden chair for decades which takes your carbon footprint to zero and beyond Which is why it’s important to build to last,’ Krüger explains whose six-decade-old ‘Tray’ table has doubled in sales in recent years knows what it takes to create a timeless piece of design It’s architectural thinking and geometric rigour but also a passion for experimentation: ‘Start making a lot of things: drawings and make every idea in your head happen,’ he counsels the next generation VIEW GOOGLE MAPS TF Chan is a former editor of Wallpaper* (2020-23) where he was responsible for the monthly print magazine editing and writing long-lead content across all pillars He also played a leading role in multi-channel editorial franchises such as Wallpaper’s annual Design Awards Guest Editor takeovers and Next Generation series visually-driven content while championing diversity international representation and social impact TF joined Wallpaper* as an intern in January 2013 and served as its commissioning editor from 2017-20 winning a 30 under 30 New Talent Award from the Professional Publishers’ Association he holds an undergraduate degree in history from Princeton University Daag (7m Conway Hall-Miss Love-Love You) rallied to take the 750,000Dkr purse I International Menhammar Copenhagen Cup raced at Charlottenlund his 16th in 34 career starts for 5,280,197Dkr earned Paul Hagoort trains the Joseph Vanduffel owner trotter that Robin Bakker piloted to the win at 12/1 odds Calle Crown (8m Great Challenger) was second for Erik Adielsson and trainer Tamas Malmqvist at 15/1 and 4.6/1 Stoletheshow (7m Dream Vacation) was third for Bjorn Goop and trainer Frode Hamre On the undercard was the 1600 meter autostart Charlottenlund Open and Office Stephen took that one in a quick 1.10.4kr by Thomas H.

access to the castle with a rich royal history After a long disagreement between Gentofte Municipality and the Danish Palaces and Culture Agency about the use of Charlottenlund Castle Gardens and its five buildings the Palaces and Culture Agency has now received political support to sell all buildings including Charlottenlund Castle This appears to have been underlined in a letter sent by the Palaces and Culture Agency to tenants at the castle on 10 February 2022 The news has been heavily debated in Danish and Norwegian press Charlottenlund Castle was completely renovated and opened to the

the 150th anniversary of the first of eight ground-breaking impressionist exhibitions that took place between 1874 and 1886 in Paris Special focus will be directed at five women artists all of whom were largely overlooked in the great narrative on Impressionism and the emergence of modern art of which the latter two have never previously been shown in Denmark The exhibition follows their struggle to be included in art history focusing on the mark their works left on the contemporary art scene – in the independent impressionist exhibitions as well as the major censured exhibitions at the Paris Salon Many still consider Impressionism to be closely associated with depictions of Paris’ boulevards and night life the women artists mainly portray the private sphere – different and equally significant aspects of Impressionism and the modernity whence the movement emerged.  preparations for which have been underway for several years who were immortalised in many of the most iconic impressionist paintings – from the black models in Édouard Manet and Edgar Degas’s pictures to the many family members and friends chiefly portrayed in the works by the women artists The exhibition not only seeks to examine how these women are portrayed but also focuses on their identity which opens up new narratives and perspectives on pioneering impressionist art and its artists The 150th anniversary of the first impressionist exhibition in Paris in 1874 is celebrated internationally with major exhibitions Ordrupgaard takes the lead with a magnificent exhibition highlighting the women of impressionism – both behind and in front of the canvas It was 150 years ago this past weekend when Denmark’s Christian X was born and the Royal House shared a series of five photos to mark the occasion Crown Princess Lovisa gave birth to a little prince at Charlottenlund Palace north of Copenhagen He was the first-born child of Lovisa and her husband who later ascended the throne as Frederick VIII of Denmark 21 shots were fired from the Sixtus Battery on Holmen to announced the new heir The Royal House shared an excerpt from the diary of poet Hans Christian Andersen about the prince’s arrival: “Saw a fireball in the sky. In the night before 12 a Prince was born by the Crown Princess the whole City flagged today in the beautiful Veir.”  the poet presented a book of illustrated fairy tales to Prince Christian sharing that “this is probably the first book he has received.” The Royal House also released the birth certificate that Crown Prince Frederick sent to his father in honour of the 150th anniversary of the birthday happily descended on Charlottenlund Palace with a son. Having the honor of bringing this joyful Intelligence to the Most High Knowledge of Your Majesty I remain with sincere devotion and submissive fidelity Prince Christian was the first heir to the throne ever to earn a high school certificate and went on to serve 22 years in the Royal Life Guard He married Alexandrine of Mecklenburg-Schwerin in 1898 reigned until his death in 1906 when the younger Christian became Crown Prince and his father became King Frederick VIII Christian led his people through World Wars I and II and remained in the city frequently riding his horse through Copenhagen as a symbol of strength to the public during Germany’s occupation of Denmark He also reigned as the first king of the Kingdom of Iceland from 1918-1944 after the federal act of 1918 which turned the island nation into an independent kingdom King Christian X died on 20 April 1947 at the age of 76 and was succeeded by his son Frederick Ai Weiwei, a highly celebrated voice in the world art, has set up his installation Water Lilies #1 (2022) at Ordrupgaard This spectacular work comprises more than 650,000 Lego bricks and with an impressive length of fifteen metres it is Ai Weiwei’s biggest Lego work to date The enormous installation reconfigures one of the most iconic impressionist paintings namely Claude Monet’s equally monumental triptych Water Lilies (1914–26) Whereas Monet excludes any hint of his own sorrowful life in his depiction of the tranquil beauty of the water lily pond Ai Weiwei inserts a black portal among the colourful water lilies thus unlocking the narrative about his formative childhood years spent with his father in a Chinese work camp The exhibition shows how Monet’s painting is woven into Ai Weiwei’s gripping life story to re-emerge as a confrontation with the systematic suppression of the freedom of speech have experienced on body and soul in their native China Ai Weiwei (b.1957 in Beijing) has replaced Monet’s exquisite brushwork and colour scheme with mass-produced plastic bricks in twenty-two predefined garish colours Whereas Monet’s painting presents an almost superterrestrial beauty in the French painter’s garden in Giverny in the early part of the twentieth century Ai Weiwei has inserted an unsettling dark portal among the water lilies It represents the door to the dugout on the outskirts of the desert in the Xinjiang province where Ai Weiwei spent five years of his childhood without light and water with his father exiled since the Anti-Rightist Campaign in the People’s Republic of China “All my works have to have a connection with my personal story,” says Ai Weiwei about this black portal in the garden paradise ”I would never do a work for the so-called pure beauty I think that the beauty only comes through your struggle.” In the installation Ai Weiwei also draws parallels between his father’s imprisonment in the 1930s and that of his own in 2011 In a video created specifically for the exhibition Ai Weiwei unfolds the captivating family story that shaped him as a human being and as the system-critical activist and world renowned artist that he is today the exhibition adds a new voice to the topical debate on the freedom of speech and systematic censorship past and present are interspersed in Ai Weiwei’s at once playful and imposing reconstruction of Monet’s water lilies Ai Weiwei—one of the most significant voices in contemporary art—arrived at Ordrupgaard with the installation Water Lilies #1 (2022) Is there a connection between the Danish Golden Age painting and French Impressionism? It will come as a surprise to most that there should exist such a connection. There is, however, a link, as a meeting between the Danish painter Fritz Melbye and the later ‘father’ of French Impressionism Camille Pissarro had a crucial impact on the emergence of one of the most significant movements in art history The meeting took place in the middle of the 19th century on St Camille Pissarro was born there as a Danish citizen in 1830 and Melbye The two young artists were to spend a couple of years together Melbye actually took on the role of mentor and teacher to Pissarro thus influencing the latter profoundly The exhibition Pissarro. A Meeting on St. Thomas sheds new light on Impressionist history through the artistic heritage passed on from Melbye to Pissarro. The exhibition at Ordrupgaard which presents a significant amount of paintings water colours and drawings from around the world will thus add a new dimension to the understanding of the emergence of French Impressionism Pakistan's U17 street child football team has grabbed a spot in the Norway Cup 2024 playoffs after their third consecutive victory as they defeated Oystese IL Oystese/Norheimsund 3-1 on Tuesday the Pakistani team did not back off and continued to press their opponents in their box and eventually scored three goals to clinch the win The first half ended 1-1 and Pakistan continued their impressive and attacking display which helped them find the back of the net two more times before the final whistle Mohammad Adeel and Shahid Anjum scored goals from Pakistan's side in today's match a strong start from Pakistan has set the tone for their upcoming matches as after finishing as the runner-ups in the last edition they are eager to lift the title this time In their first two matches of the tournament Pakistan defeated Astor Footballklubb 6-1 and then Vardeneset BK 5-0 Pakistan will now face Charlottenlund SK 1 in their Playoff A match on Thursday It is worth mentioning that in Norway Cup 2023 Pakistan lost the final on penalties 10-9 against Sola FK They were undefeated throughout the tournament and defeated all the teams they faced by big margins Pakistan scored a total of 28 goals in Norway Cup 2023 and conceded only three and proved that they are capable of not just winning the matches It must be noted here that the Pakistan team finished runners-up in the Street Child World Cup in Doha They remained unbeaten throughout the tournament but lost the final against Egypt on penalties (4-3) They were also the runners-up in the previous edition in Russia (2018) She is a rising Norwegian actress and model She got the attention of the media after she starred in the Netflix series Ragnarok as Gry PAY ATTENTION: Click “See First” under the “Following” tab to see Legit.ng News on your Facebook News Feed!
