Capitalism as Culture: The Search for the Longest Lever
Sophia Ware• 
We are dedicated to advancing Danish American relations through the exchange of people, ideas and cultural experiences
NWTrolls: Way of the Bird King features six giant hand-built troll sculptures by Danish environmental artist, Thomas Dambo. The publicly-accessible sculptures are located around the Pacific Northwest where each whimsical troll sculpture is part of an underlying environmental story.
What made Scan Design truly remarkable wasn't just its commercial success, but how Jens and Inger used their business as a platform for genuine cultural exchange that would span decades and touch thousands of lives.
The Scan Design Foundation supports students by providing scholarships, internships, and exchange opportunities that connect American and Danish learners through sustainability, design, and cultural exchange. Click through for materials for prospective, accepted, incoming and abroad students.
Two separate, independent foundations co-exist to carry out the intent of Inger and Jens Bruun. Both organizations have been operating since 2002.
