CASE STUDY
— PERIOD PIECES
Design
One of the hallmarks of Scandinavian design is its sense of timelessness and ability to assimilate easily with other styles and epochs while retaining its distinctive purity and aura of calm assurance. Even in the unique surroundings of the house created by Danish sculptor Rikard Axel Poulsen (1887-1972) furniture, lighting and homewares by contemporary designers exhibit their serene poise, the avant-garde flanked by the archaic to create layers of history. Built in 1918, the house was inspired by Poulsen’s travels around southern Europe and his affinity for Greek and Roman antiquities resulted in furniture and interiors specially created for the house.
The Case Study Period Pieces appears in Ark Journal VOLUME VII.

MAKERS OF MEMORIES
Finding balance through contrast is at the heart of the architectural and design practice of Fanny Bauer Grung and David Lopez Quincoces. Past and present. Simple and rich.
OPEN PLAN
In 2018 Belgian architect Bruno Spaas discovered a space, an empty shell, on the top floor of a 15-storey tower building in Antwerp and with his newly founded architectural office, he initiated a capacious and free-spirited project that could serve as his future business card.
STUDIO YK
Among the greats of Finnish design, Yrjö Kukkapuro defies categorisation. He lives as he designs, with a pragmatism that never compromises on experimentation and imagination, and he is a cornerstone of contemporary Finnish design and visual culture.
