CASE STUDY
— INVENTIVE CRAFT
Design
Today’s makers transcend time and space to mould their vision, imbuing objects with meaning and materiality. New materials mingle with timeless wood, clay and metal often worked with ancient techniques familiar to creators of the baroque-era building in which they so comfortably sit. The raw and the refined speak similar languages in a dialogue that spans eras and styles, contemporary industrial glass and aluminium summoning references from earlier centuries and other cultures, and ceramics grounded in their elemental solidity. Innovative sculptural forms revel in the contrast with the angular formality of the ancient marine arsenal Kuglegården, designed by Philip de Lande and completed in 1742. The spaces created by massive wooden pillars, extensive windows and brick walls are part of a new design district in Copenhagen. The building is part of the Byggeselskab Mogens de Linde portfolio.
