drummer Piet Breinholm walked around Manhattan with his old leather schoolbag. The bag received so many admiring glances, that Piet got the idea to re- launch the old classic bag. This is about a decade ago, and today the schoolbag is launched under the name "The Last Bag" in his shop in Nansensgade No 48, and is exhibited at the Danish Design Center. For Ibsens Hotel exclusively, Piet Breinholm has created a range of lovely luggage tags in leather and in a wealth of colours. The luggage tags are used as key chains for the keys to the hotel rooms. Ibsens Hotel has maintained the old-fashioned keys, simply because we put a virtue in wishing our guests a good morning and a good evening. "The Last Bag has always been charac- terized by the local production and the solid craftsmanship. This has generated a lot of global interest, which is why the cooperation with Ibsens Hotel seems evident the hotel is right around the corner and has many international guests. The fact that it's not just me, but several local players in the neighbourhood that contribute to the hotel, represents both tradition and innovation which I very much appreciate", Piet Breinholm says. |
