The beach of Bellevue north of Copenhagen was the first place that came to the mind of Heger Knudsen when thinking of a location to shoot his photo essay for Muuto. Speaking on the place, he says: ”Growing up, I always came here with family and friends year round—swimming in the summer and walking along the cold beach through winter,” adding: ”The architecture up here is iconic, designed by the Danish masters. It made the beach seem like a natural choice for the essay, joining traditional values with a new outlook on things.” Featured in his essay is the Ripple Throw, Varjo Rug and Visu Lounge Chair.
