Local tips
- Plan your visit for a weekday afternoon when designers are more likely to be in the shop and able to talk about their work in detail.
- Bring a bit of extra luggage space if you enjoy design shopping; many items are small but fragile, such as ceramics and glass.
- Look for information cards or labels describing the makers and materials; they are useful if you want to remember brands later.
- If you are on a tight budget, focus on prints, postcards and small accessories, which are often the most affordable way to support the designers.

Discover more about Design HUB
A creative storefront in the heart of Herning
Design HUB sits on Bredgade, one of Herning’s central shopping streets, but it feels more like a studio collective than a conventional store. Behind the glass facade you step into a bright, compact space lined with rails, shelves and display tables that change frequently as new products and designers rotate in. It is an entrepreneur store, meaning several independent creatives share the premises and use it as a physical platform for their brands. The atmosphere is informal and welcoming. You are encouraged to browse slowly, pick things up, ask questions and learn the story behind the objects. Rather than a single brand identity, the space reflects the different voices of its participants, united by a focus on design, craftsmanship and small-scale production.Showcase for emerging Danish designers
Design HUB’s core idea is to give up-and-coming designers a central, affordable place to meet real customers. Many of the products you see here are made in limited runs or even as one-off pieces. Racks might hold small fashion collections, knitwear or accessories; tables often display ceramics, prints, jewellery, or homeware; corners can be taken over by interior objects or seasonal projects. Because the designers share responsibility for the shop, the person behind the counter is often one of the creators themselves. Conversations can easily turn into mini studio visits, with insights into materials, production techniques or the challenges of building a brand. For design-focused travellers, it offers a more intimate window into Danish creativity than large fairs or showrooms.Ever-changing mix and collaborative spirit
The line-up inside Design HUB is intentionally flexible. Participants can come from different disciplines and at different stages of their careers, from students testing prototypes to small companies refining collections. Displays are adjusted as new work arrives, so the store rarely looks the same from month to month. This collaborative model fosters experimentation. Designers can try out new concepts and gauge interest directly from shoppers. For visitors, that brings an element of discovery: you might stumble across a local illustration project, sustainable textiles, or an innovative piece of upcycled furniture alongside more classic Scandinavian-style objects.Shopping experience and practical details
The interior is straightforward and functional, with simple shelving, hanging systems and a clean, Nordic feel that lets the products stand out. It is easy to navigate even when you have limited time, but lingering is part of the appeal, especially if you enjoy talking to makers. Typical opening hours run from late morning to late afternoon on weekdays, with slightly extended time on Fridays and shorter hours on Saturdays. The store is usually closed on Sundays, so weekday or Saturday visits work best. Prices vary according to the designer and type of product, but you will mostly find mid-range pieces, reflecting small-scale, often handmade production.Why Design HUB belongs on your Herning itinerary
For many visitors, Herning is synonymous with trade fairs and big events, yet Design HUB adds a more personal, street-level design encounter. It is an easy stop while exploring the compact city centre, and a good place to pick up original gifts or a distinctive souvenir with a story attached. Whether you are a design professional scouting new talent, a student looking for inspiration, or simply a traveller who enjoys independent shops, Design HUB offers a snapshot of contemporary Danish creativity in an approachable format. Its collaborative concept means that by supporting it you are also supporting a network of local entrepreneurs who keep Herning’s creative scene vibrant.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
