Fyrgården, Anholt
Fyrgården lies at the northeast tip of the island Anholt. It’s located strategically in the middle of the high tides of the crystal-clear Kattegatt Sea. Built in 1826 as a diamond-shaped stronghold, the sole purpose of this house was to protect the small community living there from the harsh northern winds. Originally used to house generations of lighthouse keepers, their families, and assistants. Today, Fyrgården has become a home and an institution. A sphere of creativity where different projects support and cultivate Fyrgården's unique qualities. During summer, a long-table pop-up dinner called fælles takes place along with a pop-up shop selling Andersen-Andersen knit and products from Grethe, inspired by the island and the old lighthouse. Our friend Alf, co-creator of fælles and founder of Grethe, captured all images at Fyrgården

Marine
In Denmark, we often find ourselves indoors during the winter. And it’s always interesting to see how others spend their time at home. Rosa and Frederik opened their apartment to us, giving us a peek into their daily lives. The Marine series is our lightest collection of wool sweaters, created as functional midlayer garments. Perfect under a heavy knit or on their own. Marine are knitted in gauge 12 using our signature, extra-spun yarn. Available in three classic styles: Turtleneck, Crewneck and Polo.

Camping in Scotland
'It was the first time we had an outdoor vacation like this, but we would for sure love to do it again. Scotland is such a beautiful country and very easy to camp in.' We love seeing Andersen-Andersen in action, and the Autumn weather in Scotland couldn’t have been better. In October, the Karstad family, including chef Mikkel Karstad, Camilla Karstad and their children, went on a road trip along the beautiful Scottish coastline to the Isle of Skye. They naturally spent most of their time outside hiking, fishing, cooking, and swimming in the lakes. The trip culminated in a family-style, long-table dinner they hosted at Glen Dye near Aberdeen.

Lyserød with Tal R.
What is Lyserød? It's is the Danish word for pink, but pink is not quite the right word for the colour we've developed with Danish artist Tal R.'There’s no such thing as a Lyserød Sailor Sweater, but that didn’t stop us from making one. It began several years ago when Peter and I really wanted to make a Lyserød sweater but knew it was impossible to work into the concept of our company. Peter suggested we ask Tal R to help develop the colour, and here we are today.'- Cathrine Lundgren-Andersen

The Training Ship Danmark
Every year, 80 students leave the modern world behind to spend three months at sea on the Training Ship Danmark (Skoleskibet Danmark), a fully rigged three-masted ship from 1932. We’ve provided sailor sweaters as part of the uniforms since 2017, and we’re proud to support the ambitions of this wonderful ship.The Training Ship Danmark is exactly what it sounds like – a floating education. For the young Danish students who get to learn the basics of sailing, it’s often a life-changing experience. No phones, very limited internet access - just a chance to test themselves in an environment a long way from their comfort zone.

It could have been a chair
The sailor sweater was not always destined to be a sailor sweater. It could have been a lamp or a coat stand. It could very easily have been a chair. When we started, our only wish was to make something usable, beautiful and durable – a homage to the Danish design tradition of making functional objects without compromising on craft. It’s a way of thinking and being that we share with the exceptionally skilled craftspeople at A. Petersen. The philosophies of our two companies are informed by history but inspired by the demands of a sustainable future. Just as our sweaters are knitted to last a lifetime, A. Petersen makes furniture with a conscience. The things we create will only become more beautiful through time and use. Nothing is throwaway here. Founded in 2014 to honour the Danish design tradition while bringing it into the future, A. Petersen makes furniture slowly. Each piece is crafted in a measured way with an acknowledgement of tradition and a determination to last a lifetime – and beyond. If you ever find yourself in Copenhagen, be sure to pay their shop and showroom a visit. For now, we’re happy to share a bit of their world with you here.
