One of the most iconic spires of Copenhagen is Dragespiret (the Dragon Spire) on the building that formerly held the Copenhagen stock exchange (Børsen). The spire is made up of four dragon tails twisted around each other. Unlike most of the other Copenhagen spires that are made of copper, the Dragon Spire is a wooden construction covered in led. The story goes that this would protect the building from ”enemy blows and fire” and the building has indeed escaped several of the fires that have ravaged the surrounding buildings.
The designer has taken the colour of the led as inspiration for the design and has added a sprinkling of glitter to the yoke and rib edges.
