Archival Studies
Cover image missing

Archival Studies is a Copenhagen-based design practice that explores interior architecture for transformation and care of the existing, applying regenerative concepts, flexible building systems, and sensory-rich environments. As the name implies, each process begins by understanding the available resources, letting patterns of life frame and direct the design work. Archival Studies strives to set new standards for materials and shape a contemporary definition of architecture and design that addresses the numerous challenges our planet faces today. In this new definition, the practice emphasizes viewing every piece of material as a valuable resource, with transformation, care and repair as guiding principles.

Archival Studies presents their recently introduced line Archival Products – the objects derived from the practice’s spatial research – within the spaces of their most recent interior transformation, the art center Gammel Strand.

Graduate designer Anke Neumann makes handmade paper glow in an unusual way. In her workshop, she makes large–format papers, incorporating light–conducting fibres. Similar to veins, these run through the paper surface and also form a kind of framework that contributes to the stability of the form. LED light is guided through the fibres and emitted laterally outwards in the paper layer. Together with the material aesthetics and design language, the light papers combine sculpture, luminaire and unique piece. They are not just objects that attract a lot of attention due to their shape. They are capable of enchanting a room, bathing it in poetic light.

By KlipKlap designs adapt to both time and individual needs—what the brand calls 'design for generations.' This philosophy stems from the belief that furniture lasts longer when it supports a multifunctional way of living. Founded in 2010, By KlipKlap began with the purpose of enhancing and stimulating children’s motor skills through multifunctional mattresses. Each piece is crafted using durable textiles and high-quality foam that retains its shape, even after years of extensive use. The mattresses can be folded in various ways, encouraging hours of activity and quality time for all family members. From essential tummy time for babies to toddler play, teenage lounging, and even serving as a guest bed, the designs evolve with every stage of life.

What if you could buy a chair that one day turned into a table, shapeshifting with your changing needs? This is the fundamental idea that LOOPE is based on, a new brand, launched by Polish–based, Studio Rygalik who has spent the last years surveying what it means to own furniture, protecting our planet from plastic waste. The result is LOOPE. This brand offers a furniture suite, called the Effects range, that includes five collections, Armstrong, Rounder, ALLin, OneL and faT Table. The distinct idea: made with 100% recycled material, after years of use, any of the products in the range can be returned and transformed into another currently available product.
