Køge North Station opens to the public
Today, His Royal Highness The Crown Prince inaugurated Køge North Station – a 225 meter long pedestrian bridge and train station built above the busiest motorway in Denmark, the Køge Bay Motorway.
Køge North Station will not only be a sustainable traffic hub for the public transport of the entire Copenhagen region connecting high-speed trains, local trains and the Køge Bay Motorway, but also a distinctive landmark for green mobility.
The station is expected to serve six local trains and three regional highspeed trains per hour direction, with around 90.000 people passing through the area daily. A significant step on the commute for the expected 8.000 daily users and symbol of Køge and Denmark's strive towards a sustainable, green and CO₂ neutral future.
The first of 48 Ultra-Fast Charging Stations for electric vehicles opens in Denmark
In cooperation with Powered by E.ON Drive & Clever, Cobe has designed a new type of sustainable charging stations for electric vehicles (EVs) in Scandinavia. The stations not only promise to recharge a vehicle in just 15 minutes but also offer drivers and passengers a chance to recharge their own mental batteries while the car is being powered up.
The stations are constructed in certified wood and surrounded by trees, grass and shrubs with the aim of enhancing biodiversity around the station. All building components can be disassembled and reused.
Located in the Danish city of Fredericia, the first of its kind was inagurated today, and is part of an upcoming network of 48 ultra-fast, sustainable EV charging stations along Scandinavian highways.
Cobe and HAY reveal the Halftime Chair
Cobe and HAY reveal the design of the Halftime Chair. A chair designed and developed in a joint collaboration between Cobe and HAY, launched in connection with 3daysofdesign.
With a moulded veneer seat and back riveted directly to the steel-tube frame, Halftime is a resilient, stackable chair with a clear expression that perfectly balances lightness, strength, and functionality. Crafted by the desire to create an extremely strong and durable chair that can last generations and is versatile enough for a wide range of contexts, Halftime is suitable for use in institutions, factories, cafés, and boardrooms
“HAY’s designs give the impression that it’s OK to feel comfortable while using their products. Since we mostly design public buildings, cultural facilities and institutional structures, we’re always looking for ways to informalise formal spaces. I think that’s where HAY’s design principles and furniture shine”. — Dan Stubbergaard, Architect and Founder, Cobe.
