The Circle Bridge in Copenhagen was designed by the artist Olafur Eliasson. It was a gift from the Nordea Foundation, though the article does not state who owns it. It opened on August 22, 2015. The article names no style and says the form resembles a series of sailing yachts.
The pedestrian and bicycle bridge crosses the southern mouth of the Christianshavn Canal, linking Applebys Plads on the south with Christiansbro on the north. It is 40 meters (130 feet) long. It has five interconnected circular decks of slightly different diameters. Each deck has a mast of a different height at its center, and 110 inclined suspension cables support the deck edges.
The steel structure has handrails of guariuba wood from Brazil. Two decks can swing open together to let boats pass.
