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.

Established in 2025, FIRPON's first endeavour is to bring the light back to the somewhat mythical Filosof Lamp, created by the notorious architect Lars-Erik Ejlers (1948–2024). Lars-Erik Ejlers carried the lamp with him wherever he went, from the bar at Hotel D’Angleterre to Holstein Bodega, turning Copenhagen’s nightlife into his personal showroom. To own a Filosof Lamp was to own a piece of a story, as it was often purchased directly from him during a late-night visit to a city bar, making it both rare and iconic. FRIPON now carries his vision forward, bringing the Filosof Lamp back to shine in modern spaces.
