CASE STUDY
— DISSONANT BEAUTY
Home
As in music, interior design calls on many elements – rhythm, contrast, repetition – to create that most subjective of visions: beauty. Among the devices designers call on, one of the most potent is dissonance, the employment of discordant, inharmonious and even harsh components to highlight and contrast and even to shock. Through precise curation and finesse, solitary pieces, some rudimentary and stridently contemporary, some skeletal and expressive, punctuate rooms of traditional and classic refinement, where a sense of decay can be transformed into a sense of renewal.
This Case Study was shot at the Marienlyst Palace, north of Helsingør, which dates from 1587-88. Originally commissioned by Frederik II, it was redesigned in the baroque style in 1756. We would like to thank Marienlyst Slots Venner for graciously lending the space.

JOURNEY’S END
A 90s portable church has found its home on a secluded hill in the forest, becoming a contemporary respite for creation and reflection for Josephine Akvama Hoffmeyer.
DESIGN MUMBAI
India’s creativity, natural resources, extensive skills, technological advancements and deep historical roots deserve wider recognition and appreciation.
CINCINATTI MODERN
High on a hillside in Cincinnati, sits a two-storey modernist wonder by two unsung heroes of American architecture, built for an art collector in the 1980s and that has been given a sensitive makeover to accommodate the collection of its second owner.
