CASE STUDY
— MONUMENTAL MONOCHROME
Design
The enduring aesthetic of Danish furniture has always been entirely in step with other contemporary design practices, ceramics, glass, textiles, and particularly architecture. In 1924, architect G. B. Hagen og Edvard Thomsen completed the Øregård Gymnasium, its austere and strictly classical expression, characteristic of educational institutions of the time.
The hard-edged grid of its glass-roofed interior hall is the perfect backdrop for this restrained tonal study of forceful and assertive furniture and objects that carry on the entrenched design tradition spanning both monumentality and lightness. With materials that range from aluminium and stainless-steel to wood, concrete and clay, chairs and tables, sculptures and vases share an emphatic presence that confidently strides across decades and styles.
The Case Study Monumental Monochrome appears in Ark Journal VOLUME VIII.

DESIGN MUMBAI
India’s creativity, natural resources, extensive skills, technological advancements and deep historical roots deserve wider recognition and appreciation.
