prINCIPLES OF FREEDOM
— HALLERÖD HOUSE
home
On the island of Blidö in the Swedish archipelago, Halleroed founders, Christian and Ruxandra Halleröd, found the freedom to design for pleasure within a forest of fir, pine and juniper trees. The house, with its irregular four-pronged shape unified by a high gabled roof, became an exploration of their intuitive process as they abandoned the structure of their professional projects that include ground-breaking retail interiors. They allowed themselves to be more eclectic, aiming for the feel of a cottage, and the cabin has become home to the couple’s collection of art and design. The resulting property is one that expresses pleasure, both simple and luxurious, in thoughtful ways. In Ark Journal Volume V, the conversation between museum Director Kieran Long and the Halleröds ranges across the Swedish architectural canon and their career trajectories as well as their forest home.

ARCHITECT MADE
— CASE STUDY
The collaboration between designed spaces and specifically designed objects threads through Danish architectural practice and has resulted in classics created by such renowned architects as Arne Jacobsen, Finn Juhl and Poul Henningsen.
CREATIVE CAST
— PORTFOLIO
Cast architectural models inhabit the fine line between art and architecture. Welcomed into homes as if they are sculptures, these once functional objects exist somewhere between inconclusiveness and completeness, and reach into our unconscious to provoke a multitude of interpretations.
