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.

Original design defies the ordinary. At HIGHAM COPENHAGEN, designs are not derived from trends or isms but exist in their own form. This philosophy is at the heart of the family–run design company, which preserves a legacy of craftsmanship while passing down the spirit of the arts through generations. Steen Higham and Bastian Higham, father and son, combine decades of industry expertise with their distinct personalities to create products that balance both mathematical precision and metaphysical beauty. In an age dominated by big corporations and mechanical reproduction, HIGHAM COPENHAGEN embarks on a personal journey—a quest for authenticity. Their work is a dialogue between form and philosophy, exploring reality through design and offering artistic solutions that carry deep meaning.

Blå Station is a family business located in what used to be a sewing factory in Åhus—on the southeast coast of Sweden, where the ocean is just as restless as they are. Their focus is on on the interiors that surround us—how they are built and how they work. “How do we interact in the public space? Has today's society added new demands? Has our way of socialising changed?” To meet today's demands and desires, Blå Station believes it is necessary to have an open and innovative mind, a child's curiosity as well as a heart that rejects shortcuts and apathy. With curiosity as fuel, they keep searching for the unexpected, yet–to–be discovered. Peace, Love & Good Design.
