    I had obsessed over The Apartment on 1stdibs for years and knew the experience was tippy-top on my list. The store boasts a perfectly curated mix of colorful objects, textiles, and mid-century antiques, and it’s located just off of the canals of Copenhagen in the quaint Christianshavn district. It is all charmingly displayed in, well, an apartment, inclusive of a kitchen, bathroom, and light-filled rooms. It is cozy and intimate and very easily shoppable, and the setting makes it easy to imagine living with these gems in your own home.

    Atelier September is the place I frequented most during my visit. I had five days in Copenhagen and had breakfast a total of four times at this buzzing cafe. Not to be missed is the yogurt with granola, matcha, and zucchini. The avocado toast is their claim to fame.

    Black is where I purchased a breathtaking ceramic pitcher. It was handcrafted in Japan but perfectly at home among the Danish ceramic designs on the shelves. The shop carries a curated mix of men’s and women’s clothing, beauty products, books, linens, accessories, and ceramics.
