Herning - Down Memory Lane in the Capital of Textile
"I have not tried this before, so I'm probably good at it" - could be Herning's motto but is a "Pippi" quote.
What makes Herning so special is its interest in both business and culture.
I grew up in Herning and that is how I know that practically nothing is impossible!
The city was then, in the 60s, characterized by knitwear and textile factories and by entrepreneurship - which had a great impact on the cultural life in the form of many exciting initiatives, museums and architecture. Where else do you get a Uno-X gas station designed by Exner or a shirt factory decorated by the avant-garde artists of the time?
In this spirit I joined the new school for Textile and Clothing (TECO) - but eventually became a teacher in design, art and architecture.
The interests are lasting and I would very much like to share both my professional knowledge and my memories from Herning with you. The industrial history - and my story - are best told by visiting the Textile Museum and by strolling down memory lane.
