DANH VO AT HOME
ART
The idea of home is constantly shifting for Danh Vo who calls the Berlin apartment he has filled with art and collectible design a nest for him and his boyfriend. The Danish Vietnamese artist is now working on a country house and studio where he can learn from nature and see where it leads.
“THINGS ARE JUST MOMENTARY. IT ONLY EXISTS WHEN IT’S SHARED, WHATEVER AND HOWEVER YOU SHARE IT.”
The story featuring Danh Vo’s Berlin apartment and country home is in Ark Journal VOL II.

CASE STUDY
— MONUMENTAL MONOCHROME
The enduring aesthetic of Danish furniture has always been entirely in step with other contemporary design practices, ceramics, glass, textiles, and particularly architecture.
LANDON METZ
Space is important to Landon Metz. In his art, pools of colour float across canvas leaving vast areas of unprimed fabric. In his studio the same sense of space – and the importance of the negative – is evident in the blanks between sparsely scattered furniture and plants.
CASE STUDY
— PERIOD PIECES
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.
