SHOWROOM
DINESEN & GARDE HVALSOE
2018
Architecture and interior design of a combined
showroom for Dinesen and Garde Hvalsøe in a richly decorated space in a
heritage apartment building in Aarhus, Denmark. Set up like a home, the project
plays up the heritage features like the hand painted glass ceilings and dark
woodwork, adding edgy contemporary elements. It involved a high degree of
bespoke design from a monolithic staircase made completely in Dinesen Douglas
and a sculpture inspired by wood stacked during the drying process, to
specially created paint colors picking out tones from the ceiling, and huge
light boxes. Custom pieces include freestanding storage units, a minimalist
18-seater table made of Dinesen Douglas planks stained tomato red, metal daybed
and a coffee table in folded metal steel with a yellow-zinc opalescent coating.
