 danish design centre :: "honey i'm home" - an exhibition about modern homeliness:: "the theme is homeliness - but not necessarily in the home! for homeliness can also be found in the public space, in the workplace, or on the road. upcoming main exhibition at the danish design centre examines a contemporary mega-trend. exhibition period March 3 - June 6, 2006. there is a growing demand for products, experiences + surroundings that foster intimacy, wellbeing, calm, relaxation + reflection. grandma's china, homemade pickles, knitting, authentic heirlooms + diy projects feature strongly in current tv shows, magazines + homes. in addition, there is an overwhelming interest in weddings, traditional danish gastronomy, traditions + our cultural heritage. it may look like a fad, but it seems to be based in a deep-seated yearning to feel anchored, related + at ease. in an age when everything seems possible, + global information is available to everyone, many people feel detached + stressed.
