CASE STUDY
— DISSONANT BEAUTY
Home
As in music, interior design calls on many elements – rhythm, contrast, repetition – to create that most subjective of visions: beauty. Among the devices designers call on, one of the most potent is dissonance, the employment of discordant, inharmonious and even harsh components to highlight and contrast and even to shock. Through precise curation and finesse, solitary pieces, some rudimentary and stridently contemporary, some skeletal and expressive, punctuate rooms of traditional and classic refinement, where a sense of decay can be transformed into a sense of renewal.
This Case Study was shot at the Marienlyst Palace, north of Helsingør, which dates from 1587-88. Originally commissioned by Frederik II, it was redesigned in the baroque style in 1756. We would like to thank Marienlyst Slots Venner for graciously lending the space.

MARAZZI, SHAPING INNOVATION THROUGH CERAMIC CRAFT
In the language of surfaces, few materials carry both memory and modernity as effortlessly as ceramic. For Marazzi, this duality has long defined its approach, an enduring dialogue between industrial precision and the human hand, between innovation and heritage.
THE MECHANICS OF SCENT
Previously presented in Paris, Los Angeles, and New York, FRAMA’s exhibition The Mechanics of Scent arrived in Copenhagen, inviting visitors to reconsider one of the most overlooked dimensions of design.
CLOUDLIGHT, PARIS
Bathed in shifting daylight, Amélie du Chalard’s Paris home exists as a deeply personal landscape where art and daily life merge with quiet fluidity.
