Henrik Vibskov Reimagines Verner Panton's Panthella Lamp in Immersive 3daysofdesign Light Installation
At the 2025 edition of Copenhagen's3daysofdesignfestival,Louis Poulsenunveiled 'Circle Dome Square' — a vibrant, contemplative light installation by Danish designer and artistHenrik Vibskov. Placed just outside the brand's showroom, the immersive structure pays homage toVerner Panton's iconic Panthella lamp. The lamp was first introduced in 1971 and is celebrated for its timeless silhouette and luminous presence.
Known for his avant-garde approach to fashion and multidisciplinary art, Vibskov reimagines Panton's legacy through a textile-based pavilion. Vibskov reinterprets Panton's legacy through a textile-based installation that invites visitors to pause, reflect, and engage with light in a new way. He describes 'Circle Dome Square' as a playful and somewhat visionary installation with a touch of surrealism. 'The concept was to combine shapes and colors into a larger structure using my chosen material – textiles – to create a design reminiscent of old-school cameras, focusing on a single unit,' said Vibskov, in which he adds, ' This is a space you can enter, where you can hopefully relax, take a breath and enjoy your surroundings without too much disturbance from the outside world.'
'We're thrilled to collaborate with Henrik Vibskov, one of Denmark's most innovative fashion designers and artists,' said Zorayda Perez Pedersen, Louis Poulsen's SMO. She added that Vibskov has created a captivating installation that fuses designer lighting and art, paying tribute to Verner Panton and his most iconic lamp design, the Panthella.

What Copenhagen Queers Wore To Chappell Roan
Amalia, 24, references Chappell Roan with her glam make-up and graphic tee at Copenhagen's Syd for Solen music festival. Birgitte Fleischer Copenhagen is often referred to as one of the best-dressed cities in the world and continuously attracts visitors from across the globe seeking style inspiration. Names like Cecile Bahnsen, Henrik Vibskov, Han Kjøbenhavn and Stine Goya have been recruiting global fans to Copenhagen Fashion Week which has become a key contender for the coveted spot as the fifth most regarded fashion week after Milan, New York, London and Paris. Aside from its aesthetic outputs, Denmark is also regarded as one of the best places to be LGBTQ+, with its capital ranking as the second most queer and trans-friendly place on earth last year by Out Magazine . To document the wardrobes of queer Copenhagen residents, I attended one of the country's largest music festivals, Syd for Solen. The warm August day was a big deal for Denmark as it would mark Chappell Roan's first performance in the Scandinavian nation. The day's line-up would also include Irish artist CMAT and UK drag queen DJ Jodie Harsh. With these three LGBTQ+ names on the bill, the event was a destination for queer joy – and the outfits played a key role. Iris, 22, student. Birgitte Fleischer My photographer Birgitte and I quickly ran into a young group dressed for the occasion. Iris, a 22-year-old actor and performer was speaking to her younger sister. She's just about to start studying musical theatre at university. When I asked about her outfit she proudly shared that it was all secondhand, except for the tights, which were from a Danish brand she couldn't remember the name of. When asked about the thrift scene in Copenhagen she quickly brought up the prices being too high. 'Thrifting in Jutland [the mainland region of Denmark, comprised of smaller cities] is much better' she told us. 'These boots were 45kr [about $7 USD]. If I found them in Copenhagen they would be at least 450kr [about $70 USD].'. After photographing her, Iris grabbed her partner Ekko who coyly walked us through their outfit, sharing that most of the pieces were thrifted (they removed the sleeves of the shirt themselves), except the trousers which they took from Iris' mum. Ekko, 23. Birgitte Fleischer We next spotted Katrin due to her boxy denim jacket with small holes which had been lovingly darned. It belonged to her grandmother, she told us. Her hat featured an embroidered figure of Michael Laudrup, one of Denmark's top soccer stars. 'The bag? Oh, it's from Netto' (a chain of discount Danish supermarkets) Katrin laughed. Katrin, 37. Birgitte Fleischer Then we spoke to 23-year-old psychology student, Katrine. When I asked about why she chose her outfit for the day, she replied frankly, 'I didn't. My friends did'. She went on to share that her and her friends had decided to dress to the theme of 'queer office siren' but when she arrived at their place on the way to the festival, they thought her look didn't quite fit the bill and redressed her. She shared that she loved swapping clothes with her friends as it's a way to discover new styles she wouldn't normally go for in the shops. Katrine, 23, psychology student. Birgitte Fleischer As we headed over to catch some of Jodie Harsh's DJ set, we ran into friends Moanna and Maya. Moanna, who works as an organic farmer at Den Lille Mark (translating to The Small Field, located in Odense), shared that their outfit was mostly secondhand, but their bag was handmade by their friend. Maya, an anthropology student, shared that their look was also thrifted, aside from their top, which their partner made for her for the event specifically. Moanna, 27, organic farmer. Birgitte Fleischer Maya, 27, anthropology student. Birgitte Fleischer While waiting for our food, Nina and Emma caught our attention giggling with their fish and chips. The Danish-Nigerian sisters wore a combination of thrifted pieces and styles borrowed from the matriarchs of their family. 'The dress I took from my mum and the leather jacket is really old, it's from my grandma.' shared Nina. Emma, 19 (left). Nina, 23 (right). Birgitte Fleischer Nina wears her grandmother's leather jacket tied around ther bag, doubling as a holder for her cup. Birgitte Fleischer As Copenhagen Fashion Week shows were taking place just across town, fun-loving queers ditched the public progammes for an opportunity to come together and get dressed in the name of something bigger than latest Danish designer outputs. Syd for Solen's queer attendees demonstrated that getting dressed for one of the year's biggest events is very much a team sport. Or at least a great excuse to raid your mother or grandmother's wardrobe.

‘Department Q' Season 2 Is Confirmed—Here Are 5 Things to Expect
Matthew Goode will return to our screens as the grumpy Detective Morck, because Netflix's Department Q has now been confirmed for a second season. The crime thriller, which aired its first season in May, well and truly gripped viewers, with Morck and his unlikely team, including Detective Constable Rose Dickson (Leah Byrne), Akram Salim (Alexej Manvelov) and DCI James Hardy (Jamie Sives), investigating the disappearance of Merritt Lingard (Chloe Pirrie). The series ended with Lingard being rescued, Morck returning to Department Q, Salim being promoted and Hardy returning to work, hinting at future cases. Season 1 was based on the first book from Danish author Jussi Adler-Olsen's series, Mercy. While details on the plot for the new series are being kept under wraps, there are 10 books in the Department Q series, so we can make some educated guesses about what the second season will be about. Here's what to expect... With the case from season 1 now wrapped up, we can expect to see a new case at the center of the second series. As season 1 followed the first book, it's likely the second installment could take inspo from the second book, Disgrace. Originally published in 2008, Disgrace follows Detective Morck and his team as they're given a cold case from the late 1980s, involving the brutal murders of a brother and sister at their family's summer residence. Though the case was believed to have been closed years earlier, new evidence resurfaces, pulling Morck into a far more complex investigation than anticipated. Among the original suspects is a group of privileged former students, who are now successful adults. However, one of them, Kimmie Lassen, has mysteriously disappeared from public life. The search leads back to the heart of Copenhagen, where old secrets begin to unravel. Following the team's success in season 1, we can expect to see Morck's team expanding as they take on more cold cases. At the end of season 1, Salim was given a promotion, so it'll be interesting to see how this plays out in the new episodes. Will he and Morck be able to maintain their working relationship now that he's in a higher position? Within Adler-Olsen's novels, Detective Morck ends up pursuing a romantic relationship with his therapist Mona Ibsen. In the Netflix series, Morck had been seeing Dr. Rachel Irving (Kelly Macdonald), who helped him to work through his PTSD, following the devastating shooting that left him injured and his peer James Hardy (Jamie Sives) paralyzed. It took Morck some time to open up to Irving, but by the end of the season they managed to develop a healthy relationship. Could a relationship be on the cards for these 2? With a new case and the department growing, it's likely we'll see some new faces, while Goode, Byrne, Manvelov and Sives are all expected to return. We'll update you once we know more about the casting for season 2. In the books, Salim's literary counterpart, Hafez El-Assad is portrayed as a very secretive character with not much known about his origins. In the second book, El-Assad's extraordinary skills and competence begin to raise suspicion, with Morck and Rose questioning his possible connections to the Iraq War, a plot line that comes to the forefront in Jussi Adler-Olsen's fifth novel, Buried. It's likely we'll get to see more of Salim's story as the second season airs. Department Q season 1 is available to stream on Netflix.
