It's kind of busy up north at the moment - and consequently busy at M.E. Towers...

If you've not noticed, we're kicking off our coverage of all things design and Scandinavian here today with the launch of a new section in the run-up to Copenhagen Design Week, which begins on the 27th of August and runs until September the 6th.

We've been busy seeking previews of new products launching at some of the events, including Code09 which looks set to be a veritable smorgasboard of great new design, as well as finding out about the nominees for the INDEX awards (see our previous interview with Kigge Hvid for a bit of background if you're not familiar...) which is frankly, like cherry picking the best of the best. There'll be more too but we don't want to spoil the surprise...

Click here to see our special section where we'll be tidily filing all our coverage for your viewing pleasure.

Also, for the more fashion-oriented amongst you, Copenhagen Fashion Week is now in full swing so we're also keeping tabs on sartorial ongoings there too.

Phew.
