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.

The world needs change—more sustainability, stronger communities, and a better life for all. That’s why design isn’t just about creating something new; it’s also about improving what already is there, making it more beautiful, functional, playful, and appealing. It’s about listening to people’s needs and involving them in creating future solutions. At Kolding School of Design, creative people from all over the world come together to do just that—through craftsmanship, artistic expression, and research. The teaching is based on practical experience, the latest knowledge, and close collaboration with the outside world.

Rooted in Sweden and shaped by a long–standing love for textiles since 1910, Jakobsdals creates interior where softness leads the way. In Jakobsdals part of the universe, the edges are less edgy, the corners a little rounder and life much softer. Every detail is designed to bring a sense of warmth and ease into everyday living. The collections span from fluffy cushions, statement rugs and quirky decor to characterful furniture—each piece designed to add both comfort and personality to the home. Go hard or go home, they say. If you ask Jakobsdals? Go soft and go home.

Lammhults convinces design as a great potential to improve everyday lives and to contribute to more meaningful and sustainable ways of living. The optimistic spirit is a defining characteristic of Lammhults – a vital part of their heritage since 1945. Lammhults develops contemporary design for various kinds of spaces – public spaces, modern offices, and domestic spaces. Inhabited spaces have a strong influence on oneself. Some spaces make you creative, social, and generous, others enable you to slow down and to reflect. Lammhults believes in the importance of that space. Good design contributes to shape dwellings and surroundings in ways that are relevant both today and tomorrow.

Furniture ought to make room for people. This has been the philosophy of FDB Møbler since its founding in 1942, when architect Børge Mogensen led the design studio. While new designers have since joined, the founding principles remain unchanged: to create beautiful, functional and well–crafted furniture that supports everyday life at home. Today, FDB Møbler is internationally recognised as a pioneer of Danish design. From iconic classics to contemporary pieces, each design reflects the same ambition—to enhance quality of life through thoughtful, enduring furniture.
