Republic of Fritz Hansen Unplugged relations PHOTO Egon Gade We all know the feeling of attachment to a favorite object. Not because what it is, but what it does. The memories it carries and the stories it tells. That is true for our furniture. Thanks to the design and the quality that we put into the development, they last through generations and people relate to them as more than just mere chairs and tables. The first scratch or dent may hurt a bit, but gradually the sign of wear and usage adds to the sense of “something special”. If you own a piece of Fritz Hansen furniture there is a...

Art and Industry The Return of The Drop™ TEXT Michael Sheridan PHOTO Strüwing The Danish architect Arne Jacobsen is renowned for treating his buildings as total works and completing the interiors with furniture, lighting and textiles of his own design. Nowhere was this more true or Jacobsen’s talents in greater evidence than at the SAS House (1956-60), which combined a satellite air terminal for the Scandinavian Airlines System and the five-star Royal Hotel. Located in the center of Copenhagen, across from Tivoli Gardens, the building utilized the latest technology, which Jacobsen adapted...

The 22-story tower of the hotel would alter the Copenhagen skyline and Jacobsen was anxious that his building might overwhelm the area around Tivoli. Working through a long series of color studies and his own watercolor paintings, Jacobsen arrived at a delicate curtain wall of closely spaced aluminum mullions and grey-green spandrel glass. The result is a luminous shell that registers even the most nuanced shifts in the atmosphere, so that the building has a constantly changing appearance and becomes part of the setting. While the building is a model of rational, rectilinear construction...

The Egg™ chair was created for the lobby of the Royal Hotel, where it was upholstered in brown leather and positioned on blue, rya rugs that complimented the grey Porsgruun marble floor. At the far end of the lobby, the wintergarden glowed like a lantern and served as the centerpiece of the public areas. find their own level of comfort. Solitary travelers could turn away from the crowd, while groups of travelers could rotate and form an intimate circle. The spectacular centerpiece of the hotel was a doubleheight winter garden encased in hanging walls of orchids and furnished with the Pot™,...

the seat, so that the occupant seems to float in mid-air. The most flamboyant of Jacobsen’s voluptuous quartet was the SwanTM, a low-backed armchair that he designed for the Panorama Room, a lounge on the 21st-floor of the hotel that offered views over the city on three sides. The restricted height of the chair kept it from interfering with the views through the panoramic windows, but also encouraged an informal, convivial atmosphere appropriate to the festive setting. At the same time, the swiveling base allowed patrons to turn and enjoy the views of the city, and each other. Today, the...

How does architecture affect us as people? TEXT Katrine Martensen Larsen PHOTO Adam Mørk, 3XN Do people really behave the way architects imagine them to? Do they hang out together in waiting areas, meet on the stairs, eat lunch together in the canteen, and generally thrive in the large, open office land­ scape? We talked with a researcher who specialises in architectural psychology. At architecture studio 3XN, Mille Sylvest is in the middle of a large-scale research project that attempts to map how architectural design affects people's social behaviour and well-being. As far as 3XN is...

The staircase at Ørestads Gymnasium has been rather eloquently dubbed 'The Catwalk' by students, as you can't avoid being seen as you walk down it. According to architect studio 3XN, it is the backbone of the building.

open office space." One of Mille Sylvest's conclusions therefore has been that the more open a space is, the greater the need is for a separate private, closed space. And a closed room made of glass is of no use, either: "When you use glass as a wall, you should always consider your motives carefully. It works fine in the canteen, where the staff can ascertain quickly and easily who is eating where and at what time. But a glass wall into a meeting room is not such a good idea, and a frosted panel to shield it off is not enough. Depending on the design, you can often see over it or under...
