House of Amber
By Maria Præst
Making a purchase at House of Amber not only gives you Copenhagen Amber Museum’s quality guarantee, you will also get professional guidance in choosing the right piece of jewellery – whether it is for a gift or for treating yourself.
With three exclusive shops on carefully chosen locations in Copenhagen, House of Amber is one of the world’s leading amber shops.
Holding a piece of amber in your hand is both an aesthetic treat and a breathtaking historical experience. House of Amber knows that better than any. They have been dedicated to the small exclusive stones since 1933 and their three shops in Copenhagen carry the widest and most remarkable selection of first class amber jewellery with settings of 14 and 18 carat gold, sterling silver and diamonds. Beautiful objects d’art made of amber are also part of the assortment. House of Amber creates amber jewellery of the very finest quality, carefully selected and uniquely designed. It takes a lot of technical and professional skills to select the right raw material for processing. In fact, only 10 % of the world’s amber meets House of Amber’s exacting standards. Amber is very light and a little harder than that of a fingernail, making it challenging for the craftsmen to work with. As amber stones are unique in shape, colour and lustre, the craftsmen must take these factors into consideration before jewellery of both classic and modern design is created.

HIGH QUALITY GUARANTEED All of House of Amber’s products are thoroughly quality tested by amber experts, who have lifelong experience working with amber. Besides, the high quality is guaranteed by Copenhagen Amber Museum, which is founded and run by some of the most knowledgeable amber experts in the world.
WHAT IS AMBER EXACTLY? Amber is the fossilized resin of trees from ancient pine forests, which existed more than 30 million years ago. When a tree became damaged, the resin seeped out from the ‘wound’ in the tree and quickly hardened. This is how the characteristic drop shapes of amber were formed. As the resin is very sticky, various insects got caught in it, and the resin ended up on the forest floor when the tree eventually died. The ability to preserve insects and plants is one of the most fascinating aspects of amber. The irregularities and inclusions only make the pieces even more rare and valuable. The Copenhagen Amber Museum holds a wide selection of entombed insects from prehistoric times such as mosquitoes, spiders, flies, beetles and cockroaches. Even though they got caught more than 30 million years ago, you can see them through a magnifying glass today - exactly the way they looked when they got trapped.

COPENHAGEN AMBER MUSEUM Copenhagen Amber Museum, one of the most recognised amber museums in the world, takes you on an exciting journey through the enchanting history of amber. Visit the charming old house from 1606 by the entrance to Nyhavn. Are you ready to get dazzled? The Copenhagen Amber Museum holds an impressive collection of amber antiques and artefacts, including a wide line of entombed insects from prehistoric times as well as the world’s largest privately owned piece of Nordic amber. The museum provides you with an insight into the amber’s significance and use at different stages throughout history. Amber is known as ’the gold of the North’ and the Danish Vikings used it as an accepted means of payment on their expeditions around the world. Amber was actually the world’s first recognised gem and the only one to be found in Denmark. For many centuries amber has been cherished for its beauty, individuality and warm glow. Pieces of amber vary in colour
from milky white to golden and dark brown. Some are transparent with or without small glittering pockets of air inside, while others are opaque. It all depends on where in the world the amber comes from and under which conditions it was formed.

Whether it is watches or jewellery, Cartier has always been known for their stunning design and unmistakable impression of luxury and great craftsmanship.
Vacheron Constantin Tour de I’lle Exclusive model! Only 7 items of this model has been produced.
WATCH ENTHUSIASTS The infinite world of mechanical wristwatches is fascinating to move into, and when you first get caught, there is likely no way out. After buying an exclusive watch you will immediately feel strongly attached to it or to your collection of watches – large or small. Many even end up feeling naked without their watch, as it gradually becomes an indispensable part of your personal expression. The true watch enthusiasts alternate between different watches and ensure that the automatic ones of them are always pulled up and ready to wear. Nerdy, but true. You can spot true watch enthusiasts by their sparkling ability to talk for hours about the little ticking piece on their arm.
VACHERON CONSTANTIN At Vacheron Constantin the art of watches, craft and poetry all comes together. The brand is the essence of the finest the world has to offer within watches – and Klarlund is the only place in Denmark you can get your hands on them. The history began in 1755 in Geneva, the mecca of watches, which lets Vacheron Constantin boast of being the world’s oldest manufacturer of watches. Vacheron Constantin’s customers have always been an exclusive club of consenting connoisseurs of which many members belong to the future intelligentsia and high culture. A Vacheron Constantin watch has often been seen discreetly on the arm of heads of state, writers, artists and other cosmopolitans.
ROLEX Klarlund and Rolex have followed each other since 1955 and today Klarlund is the largest authorized Rolex retailer in the North. The selection of Rolex models is a special and multifaceted universe that fascinates and captivates with the details, stories and achievements.
Klarlund has a wide range of watch brands in their boutiques, and it is difficult to highlight some brands over others, but we sneak yet to present four of the most exclusive brands:
CARTIER The renowned French jeweller and fine watchmaker Cartier has had countless admirers over the years, from the various royal houses across Europe to Hollywood’s biggest stars. Napoleon III’s cousin, Princess Mathilde, Prince of Wales, Elizabeth Taylor, Jackie Kennedy, Andy Warhol, Warren Beatty, Frank Sinatra and Marilyn Monroe all had a love affair with Cartier. Marilyn Monroe sang about Cartier in her famous song “Diamonds are a girl’s best friend” and about Cartier’s classical Tank watch Andy Warhol is known to have said: ”I don’t wear a Tank to tell the time. In fact, I never wind it. I wear it because it’s the watch to wear”.

Rolex has from the beginning been dedicated to improve the wristwatch. With Rolex Oyster in 1920, Rolex showed how to create a watch with a waterproof and sealed clock case to protect the clockwork against water and dirt. The famous clock case closing like an oyster is top class with the best ever technology. The case only consists of three parts, which makes it easier to keep close with only a few seals. Since Rolex Oyster Rolex has continued to produce popular and innovative watches like Rolex Datejust, Rolex Submariner, Rolex Cosmograph Daytona and Rolex Yacht Master. Rolex watches have been worn by celebrities at space expeditions, underwater expeditions and event trips to Mount Everest. Over the years, Rolex has also been spotted on the arms of film stars and models such as Steve McQueen, Marlon Brando and Paul Newman. In Denmark Rolex is the favorite choice of major sport stars like racing driver Tom Kristensen and tennis player Caroline Wozniacki.
OMEGA Omega has like no other watch brand been riding on the wings of history with award-winning precision and quality as the driving force. The list of Omega’s role in the world of sports, records and science is impressive, and it continues to grow. Omega was there, when Neil Armstrong in 1969 took the big step for mankind on the Moon. Omega followed the legendary Jacques Cousteau on his amazing journeys at sea and has already reserved seats on the front row, when the destination according to plan is the red planet Mars in 2050. Rolex 2013 Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Platinum
Omega has also played a large role in the movies. It has been the official James Bond watch since 2005 – and has, besides Daniel Craig, been carried by film stars like George Clooney and Nicole Kidman.

ILLUM goes for
A NEW NORDIC LOOK
Logo from a love letter ILLUM’s logo with the two swallows originates from the love letters between A. C. Illum and his fiancé Marie Andersen. He proposed to her in a letter, and in her reply was a vignette of two flying swallows – and of course the answer “yes”. After that, A. C. Illum decided to make the swallows the trademark of his store.
Rooftop of the new ILLUM which can be enjoyed from the beginning of 2015
Denmark’s most prominent department store is undergoing a major renovation for an exclusive Nordic look with clean lines and lots of light – the perfect match for the wide selection of Nordic fashion and luxury design inside. By Maria Præst Last year the renowned Italian retailer, La Rinascente, purchased ILLUM and is now giving Denmark’s largest lifestyle store a makeover from head to toe in order to improve the appearance into a cleaner and more exclusive Nordic look.
SCANDINAVIAN MINIMALISM WITH AN ITALIAN TOUCH If you pass by ILLUM at the moment, you can’t help but noticing that the frontage is going through a major change to make room for extra square metres, but also inside a lot of changes is taking place. The entire 4th floor is being transformed into an exclusive food mecca with a numerous amount of delicious restaurants, and the Scandinavian minimalism will leave its mark on everything from the funky interior to the fascinating architecture, particularly by the new escalator, in the wood casing in the well and by the impressive inflow of light. The most impressive change will take place in the beautiful well, where an Italian architect from Giorgio Armani, Claudio Silvestrin, will secure, that the elegant wood casing in the entire well is in perfect harmony with the new minimalistic Scandinavian style. You can experience the results of the huge renovation from late summer 2014.

Swedish Filippa K has been true to its design since the very first line of tight jeans. Today you can jump into a wide range of Scandinavian styles with focus on simplicity and high quality. By Maria Præst When Filippa Knutsson along with her husband designed the first small line of tight stretch jeans in 1993, they instantly became a hit in Stockholm. The brand grew quickly, designer Karin Segerblom joined and basic styles of knits and jersey were added on. Today, more than 20 years later, the brand is one of the strongest brands from the Swedish fashion scene.
Filippa K Østerbrogade
STYLE, SIMPLICITY AND QUALITY Filippa K has been consistent in its design since the very beginning and is true to the three values of the brand – style, simplicity and quality – in everything they do. The womenswear captures a strong independent woman with a casual and sensual attitude, both wild and elegant. It is minimalistic, but never boring, which fits perfectly with what the Scandinavian women represent. The menswear collection was first presented in 1998 and focused on a combination of functionalism and minimalism. The design has developed through the years, and today it stands for a smart urban look, which is classic without being traditional.
TAKING RESPONSIBILITY Filippa K is Scandinavian in many ways – including the way they care for the environment and their surroundings. They constantly endeavour to reduce their environmental impact by expanding the lifetime of their products through high quality and timeless design. Thereby Filippa K appeals to everyone, who is more interested in a quality logo on the inside of the garment than showing the logo on the outside. That’s what the strong Scandinavian design is all about – and we can’t get enough of it!

MONTBLANC RECORDS THE MOMENTS OF LIFE In days gone by, people believed that if a person touched an object that object would form a bond with part of his/ her soul. Today such a thought seems almost absurd, until you enter the realm of Montblanc’s master craftsmen. The Montblanc star emblem (the world-famous white tip of all their pen caps) became brand logo and trademark in 1913 and the shape represents the snow-covered peak of Mont Blanc: The highest European mountain, symbolizing the brand’s commitment to the highest quality and finest European craftsmanship. The writing utensils from Montblanc record the moments of your life.

At Stelling you will also find the Montblanc line with belts and briefcases in the most sublime materials. A rare blend of superb craftsmanship and a passion for moulding something extraordinary transforms carefully selected leather into fine Montblanc creations.
ďƒ‹ MOLESKINE IS YOUR TRUSTED COMPANION The Moleskine notebook is, in fact, the heir and successor to the legendary notebook used by artists and great thinkers over the past two centuries. Amongst them are Vincent van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway and Bruce Chatwin. A simple black rectangle with rounded corners, an elastic page holder and an internal expandable pocket: A nameless object with a spare perfection all of its own, produced for over a century by a small French bookbinder that supplied the stationery shops of Paris, where the artistic and literary avant-gardes of the world browsed and bought them. As a trusted and handy travel companion, the notebook held invaluable sketches, notes, stories, and ideas that would one day become famous paintings or pages. Today, the Moleskine brand is synonymous with culture, travelling, memory, imagination and personal identity, both in the real world and the digital world. It is a brand that encompasses a family of nomadic objects: Notebooks, diaries, journals, bags, writing utensils and reading accessories, dedicated to our mobile identity. Objects that follow us everywhere we go and identify us wherever we are in the world. Large selection of Montblanc at Stelling Papir & Penne

Tips from one of our
Copenhagen experts...
IF ONE OF OUR READERS IS IN COPENHAGEN FOR 24 HOURS ONLY, WHAT WOULD YOU RECOMMEND HIM OR HER TO DO? I will recommend our guest to take a turist boat trip around the Copenhagen Harbour. It takes approximately one hour, and will stop near all the popular attractions, including The Little Mermaid. Thereafter you have plenty of time to do shopping and visit some of our famous restaurants in downtown Copenhagen. If you only have one day, I will recommend you stay in the centre of Copenhagen near pedestrian street.
FOR OUR READERS WHO ARE LOOKING FOR A RESTAURANT IN COPENHAGEN, WHERE WOULD YOU RECOMMEND THEM TO GO? Almost all visitors and locals like to go to “new harbor” especially during summer. It is a good idea to go there, because you can experience Danish culture and good atmosphere followed by an amazing view. If you want to relax after shopping in the pedestrian street, you could go to the restaurant on fifth floor in the Illum department store. You can from an outdoor seat follow the pulse of Copenhagen in a quiet environment.
WHAT HAVE YOU RECENTLY DISCOVERED IN COPENHAGEN THAT YOU ADVISE OTHERS TO SEE? If you are here in the summer time, I would recommend you to take a walk along Christianshavn’s canal. It provides good local atmosphere with a lot of exciting views.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SHOP IN COPENHAGEN - AND WHY? My favourite shop in Copenhagen is located at Østerbrogade 154 called Elviro by Cordelia. I do like to get a good service, as I work in the same business area. The owner has a good sense of humor, a nice personality and she is very helpful. She makes sure that I buy the “right clothing and shoes” which suits me well. I believe it is very important to treat customers as your friend, and listen to understand their needs and wishes. DO YOU HAVE A SECRET TIP CONCERNING COPENHAGEN TO OUR READERS? When I moved to Copenhagen, I discovered some small shops on side streets where they offer exciting items. From small local shops I think you should buy some special and unique presents for your closests ones, instead buying “normal” presents from big souvenir shops. Copenhagen is a old European town with a lot of history, and in small shops you can discover Copenhagen history in small pieces and share with your family and friends.

When you step into Green Square Antiques in Amager you can be sure that you enter a world of antiques that you will find nowhere else. The large selection is on display in a natural environment for your inspiration. Green Square strive to adapt to trends and the displays rarely stay the same for a long period. The word “antiques” is often associated with being just “slightly too old - especially among the younger generation. We believe that this is not a fair perception. True antiques present true happiness, personality in interior design, quality and hence the possibility of styling your home individually regardless of your age. Antiques are not a question of “either or” but more “both and” as many people would like their home to be a combination of something contemporary - modern - functional and beautiful with the potential of styling with a unique touch. Some choose an antique refectory table in combination with contemporary chairs while others might choose the opposite combination. Many prefer a beautiful antique mahogany dresser or an elegant antique bureau or cabinet as single pieces. It is a completely individual preference and the choice is rich. The great challenge at Green Square is to present their antiques with soul and originality to reflect the manner in which they were constructed.
EVERYTHING HAS A STORY Scandinavia’s largest antique house is filled with antique furniture, art objects and paintings from around the world. Everything is genuine - and everything has a story. Green Square makes an effort to show the different objects in authentic contexts. There are 10,000 m2 with unique furniture, and it takes time to explore it all. For example, you can move from a universe of industrial furniture to the world of 1700s style furniture from Chinese classics to the bohemian atmosphere with mirrors, pictures and the wildest chandeliers. The different setups have authenticity, which means that you are close to settling for instance the Provencal long table and feel like an invited guest.

Situated in the heart of Copenhagen the gentlemen’s club provides a cosy atmosphere in stylish surroundings with dimmed lights, where you can indulge in the club’s fine selection of spirits, refreshing cold beers on tap and chilled bottles of fine champagne.
WELCOME TO CHAMPAGNE HEAVEN The exclusive champagne is the specialty of Angels Club. You can choose from 20 different kinds in various sizes ranging from the regular 1.5 litre bottles to whopping six litre bottles. Until recently Angels Club was also one of the only clubs that still had the exclusive Dom Perignon’92 Oenothèque, but in the middle of June it was purchased by a true champagne connoisseur, who also managed to enjoy numerous other fine champagnes that evening. THE PERFECT BOYS’ NIGHT OUT No matter if your are going out with a bunch of old friends, entertaining a group of business associates or looking for the perfect place to end a great stag night, Angels Club welcomes you to enjoy a night in heaven. Angels Club is rewarded for its friendly atmosphere and lovely bartenders, who make sure that your glass is always full and giving you the chance to lean back and enjoy the shows for your entertainment. For gentlemen who have had enough of loud pulsating music, disco balls and a hectic nightlife, Angels Club is the place to be – expect to be pampered.
