The well-travelled owners of this Copenhagen apartment have filled each room with mementoes curated on their adventures
My Style Is International, With Influences From South Fast Asia China, Africa and Europe,’ says Maja Thylander. ‘Whenever I visit a country, I always bring home a treasure in my suitcase. When I look at a jar I bought in Italy, or a figure from Namibia, it reminds me of my trip as much as any photograph could.’
The Danish former model has spent much of her life travelling – she began sailing with her parents at the age of 14 and as a model in her twenties, lived in London for five years, which is when she first began buying and renovating properties. While she still has itchy feet, home today for Maja, her husband Lars, and their son Kristian is a landmark building in Frederiksstaden, Copenhagen. Close to the city’s citadel and old harbour, their apartment offers stunning views across the bay to Sweden. ‘We’d been living in the suburbs, but bought this property three years ago,’ says Maja. ‘It’s the perfect location. I can wear high heels and head in one direction for restaurants and shops, or put on my trainers and walk to the park. But really, we came here for our son – he was 17 when we moved in and wanted to be closer to the city.’
