Portraits A/W 2017

MENU’s philosophy is simple. We want to make the world better, less complicated, a

little bit nicer to wake up to. We work with some of the most exciting and driven creative

individuals from the worlds of architecture and design and join forces to produce high-

quality design with a sophisticated Scandinavian look. Carefully crafted design can

have an astonishing impact on a room. The perfectly suited sofa, the beautiful lamp,

the elegant accessories that match. They all have an impact – and help to tell the story

of you, your home or your company. Much in the same way our A/W 17 collection draws

a clear picture of MENU. It’s not a finalized, static or polished hand painted family

portrait in an expensive gold frame on the wall – it’s an image of a constantly curidos,

passionate, open, inviting, and honest family that never loose their appetite for new

endeavors. The Portrait of Menu anno A/W 17 also includes Menu Space.

Menu Space is our new showroom, office, and café. And a main part of the concept is –

that it’s yours too. In collaboration with Norm Architects we’ve taken an exciting new

approach to the art of running a design business and created a space for great ideas,

beautiful design, powerful concepts and inspiration as well as openness, knowledge

sharing, co working, and collaborations. Our goal is to build a community around

Menu Space. An open space where likeminded creative thinkers can work, meet and

share their stories, ideas, and processes. Where everyone is welcome to stop by – for

a coffee, a meeting, or simply to have a close up look at our designs – and a space

where we also work ourselves. The synergy of co-working and sometimes teaming

up on small or big projects is an amazingly inspiring catalyst for strong ideas and

unique concepts. “The idea is to keep Menu Space moving and ever changing. To have

friends of the house and people we admire stop by on a regular basis and change the

interior layout however they see fit – ensuring that we always have a vibrant, creative,

lively space that continues to inspire our neighbours, visitors, friends, clients, and

designers.” Design Director Joachim Kornbæk Engell-Hansen
