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.

BEFORE VINTAGE FURNITURE creates furniture using wood that holds genuine value but had lost its place in the market for various reasons. Through precise craftsmanship and an architectural approach, the brand gives these materials a new future. Each piece of furniture is individually numbered, reflecting the belief that furniture becomes more meaningful as it ages alongside its owner. By revealing the quiet power of sleeping wood, the brand expresses honesty toward the material and the possibility for each piece to mature into a future vintage.

LIGHT–POINT designs more than just lamps—they design light. This is the essence of their brand slogan: CREATING LIGHT. With 30 years in the market, they have firmly established themselves as a leading Danish design company with an international look and appeal. The approach to design is both architectural and artistic, and the style is elegant and minimalistic, yet edgy and expressive. The lamps can both serve as style markers and bold design statements and be sophisticated, understated, and serene, blending in seamlessly. The fascination with light drives LIGHT–POINT to continuously experiment, pushing the boundaries of norms and traditions to develop innovative ways of creating illumination.
