The Danish Design Centre on H. C. Andersens Boulevard opposite the Tivoli Gardens

The Danish Design Centre (DDC) is an independent institution.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Denmark is Patron of the Danish Design Centre.

The DDC's strategic focus areas are:

To build awareness of design and the economic effects of design among businesses

To brand Danish design on a national and international level


In January 2000 the DDC moved to its current address, a purpose-built domicile on HC Andersens Boulevard in the heart of Copenhagen, designed by Professor Henning Larsen. In addition to offices, the building houses exhibition rooms, a shop, a café and a conference centre; these income-generating facilities are the venue for the DDC's many activities.

The DDC is developing and carrying out a number of activities to promote the use of design in Danish companies. The primary task is to engage in business promotion activities to highlight the economic potential of using design. In close cooperation with local forces, including the regional growth centres, the DDC seeks to promote knowledge of the use of design in the five regions of Denmark.
