Did you know that only a few months ago the most unique ski resort in the world opened to the public? It was designed by architect Bjarke Ingels, who calls it a project of "hedonistic sustainability". Yes, because the idea promoted by the Danish government goes beyond the design of an energy plant with zero environmental impact, adding to its already admirable plan the aim of increasing the sports offer of the city of Copenhagen.
10,000 square meters of extension and 400 meters of downhill slope created with synthetic grass are made available to skiers. One can start from the top of the energy plant to reach the base of the factory through a path that winds through free style jumps and wide "green" descents. The project is also completed by an 85 metre high climbing wall, the highest ever built.
A ski slope on artificial grass in a city not so far from the mountains might seem a real paradox, but it is actually a great example of the Scandinavian way of living. We got familiar with the "Hygge" culture, widespread in Denmark and other Nordic countries, which manifests itself in the simplicity and hospitality of Scandi furnishings for the home. But unique projects like Copenhill show us that this culture, based on the search for everyday happiness, can also be found in small or large gestures of love towards the planet.
IntOndo, in a small way, brings you a tool to take care of the furnishing of our home and look after our planet as well. We showcase a selection of precious objects full of history offering a circular model as an alternative to the disposable way of consuming. This makes us happy, but we can't wait to visit Copenhill to enjoy a taste of "green" happiness and you?
