NEWS 2012: DENNIS will pop-up at Milan Design Week, GO TO THE DENNIS WEBSITE
Dennis Design Center (DENNIS) is a pop-up center by Bureau Detours.
The centre opened in 2011 and took place on August 8th - 21st 2011, by invitation of Metropolis - festival for art and performance in urban space, that took place in Copenhagen throughout August 2011.
DENNIS landed with three containers for two weeks and everyday created a new design for local communities in Copenhagen. During the weeks in Copenhagen, Bureau Detours delivered actual tangible solutions to problems and challenges in public space through different workshops, listening to the neighbors and discussing the area’s development and history. The children took great joy in their newfound possibilities, passers-by got talking about the surroundings and people from the creative community felt engaged by the way DENNIS approaches design.
Bureau Detours created life and new experiences that spurred the local stakeholders and residents on how, by using simple means, one can make a difference in a local community. Process and design were continuously documented and displayed on-site and uploaded on the center’s website.
