KorsIT. Making it cool!

“Making it cool” was the main importance for S. when we talked about their wishes for their companies’ head quarters. They had recently moved in a newly renovated building in Zwembadweg and needed an extra touch to give the space their personality.

We have been working on it on and off for the last year but here is its latest advance.

Ill share images of the “before” status so you get a better idea of what we did.

With this project we realised how much we love to represent a brand through its interiors.

This is the entrance hall; blue is their main corporate colour, so we played around with it generating a play with the different geometries of the paint vs the storage boxes - the well known Mini Stacked by Muuto.

The Dots added to make room for their coats; the wall becomes some kind of ephemeral installation that is always changing depending on the users and the season of the year.

Looking into the “playroom from the entrance.

* work in progress.
I can see a beautiful Logo to greet visitors as well as a few compliments to tie everything up…

Being it a young IT company means their people are really into games, of course this meant that we had to give it a special attention. again, Blue to talk about the brand and a little yellow to create contrast. Contrast and lamps created all the difference in this corner.

The rug is an amazing recycled plastic-fiber rug made in Denmark called Bolon, check it out, we love it.

The Studio Lamp, also by Muuto over their existing pool table, which they use a lot, and bar designed and fabricated by us ;) ,

The far end of their works space’s main problem was the sound. Having it an open angle ending and such a a big size, concrete floor, you could barely talk with someone without hearing your own voice too loud.
The walls where already covered with large sound absorbing frames, but it was clearly not enough for such a space.

At the far end we complimented the walls with these fun panels from BAUX. super cool sound solution you can read more about here. They are modular, so you can really play around with them. And that’s what we did!

I wouldn’t mind working here…

That’s it! check back again for updates, Got any questions? contact us, or comment in the post!

until next time..

Montana for London Design Festival

This year, Montana was part of FRAME Magazine’s list of 10 exhibitions not to miss at this year's London Design Festival which took place on 15 – 23 September. 

Montana decorated part of Skandium’s four-storey townhouse in South Kensington in connection with London Design Festival under the headline “The Eco Townhouse”, in line with Brompton Design District’s theme of “Material Consequences”.

An ever-increasing number of people are looking to minimize environmental impact when decorating their homes, turning to sustainable technology, and interior and architectural innovation. Thus, Skandium aimed not just to curate a collection of responsible design, but to demonstrate that it can be a vibrant, beautiful, and liveable solution to interior design.

Architect Helena Laursen, recipient of the Frame Award Milan, designed the two floors assigned to Montana, in their signature bold, captivating colour palettes.

Frama store Copenhagen

A few months back, I had the fortune to be able to attend 3 Days of Design in Copenhagen and visit Frama Copenhagen’s Studio Store. I was blown away by the setting the moment I walked in. It’s an amazing space where old and new clash creating an amazing atmosphere. These are a few pictures of my visit along with some text from Frama’s website.
Have you been there? please, give me your comments! it would be lovely to hear what you think of the space.

The Frama headquarters and Studio Store is located in central Copenhagen within the historic and protected neighbourhood of Nyboder. Former home of the St. Pauls Apotek established in 1878. The synergy between the past and present elements of the space is a direct link to how Frama defines their main interest within the creative field as a dialogue between two opposite poles; classical and contemporary approach – between digital and analogue production.

“The interior aim of the 250m2 spaces was to work on the larger surfaces and not be orientated towards details and larger improvements. In a spartan way the many square meters was renovated in a atelier kind of way with basic constructions and methods.”

---

The kitchen is made up of free standing elements, in hard wood and steel frames that accentuate an industrial feeling.

Modern minimal contours contrast with the old original furniture from the old days.

Their line of body lotions and hand cremes pay homage to the Apothecary times of the space.

---

White spaces give a feeling of lightness and maintain a fresh look, while the floors remind us of the past and history of the building.

---

Th space invites the user to experience peace in many of its areas always playing with the contrast between old and new. between modern and classic.

Muuto introduces a small Under the Bell pendant lamp.

For those of us who have known Under The Bell for a few years now, it’s really like: it’s about time! This lamp has been one of my favourite lamps from Muuto’s collection but it was always so difficult to be able to place, it’s a BIG lamp, but fortunately they decided to scale it down. thanks Muuto, big is not always better.

Apart from the new size, Under the Bell is now also available in a very nice “white melange” which to my eyes is more like a very light-grey. the following images are from Muuto’s own image bank and the text comes from several (Muuto) sources. We just put it together to make it nicer ;)

Thanks for reading. If you have any questions you know you can just contact us, we will be more than happy to help out.

Of course all versions of the lamp are available at your favourite designshop.

until next time!

Under the Bell Ø55

Characterised by its cupola-like lampshade and sound-absorbing felt material made using recycled PET plastic fibres, the Under The Bell Pendant Lamp is now available in a smaller version with a diameter of 55 cm, making it perfect for a residential space.

With its raw and distinct surface texture, the lampshade adds a modern sentiment to its surroundings while absorbing the sound underneath with its distinct form.

---

This smaller version of the popular lamp allows for use in any home or contract space for a contemporary and functional pendant lamp that can be hung on its own or in clusters as well as in more stringent formations. The Under The Bell Pendant Lamp Ø55 comes in three colours: Black, Grey and (the new) White Melange.

Under the bell Ø 82, available in black & grey and (soon) in white melange.

Under The Bell is a pendant lamp that is multi-functional as the design not only provides an ambient light but also enhances the acoustics of the room. Under The Bell is a prime example of modern design with hints to Scandinavian values.

After multiple prototype testing, the final shape of Under The Bell was reached. Boris Berlin says: "Under the Bell was designed to be much more than a standard lampshade, housing a light source and reflecting it down. The design aim was to develop a shade that hangs over the centre of the table to create a spatial inclusion within a room—both physically and psychologically. It's akin to a dome encasing a building.

Hyg

Hyg is an exclusive lounge series, inspired by the Danish concept of hygge - a word associated with true cozyness and comfort- and manufactured with strong care for materials and attention to detail. A true all-around talent for offices, hotels and homes.

“The Hyg range is an interpretation of hygge, but in its own way, it is also a product of hygge. As an integral part of Danish culture, hygge emerges in the trustworthy and informal atmosphere that permeates our working culture.

— Simon Legald, Designer

FABRICS AND CONSTRUCTION

Hyg is everyday luxury of the highest caliber. Its construction and careful choice of materials is thought through to the last meticulous detail. The level of attention paid in its making can be seen and felt, and the armchairs are even available with a tilt function, which can be customized according to the user’s weight. 

A steel framework ensures stability and strength, while molded PU foam provides cushioning comfort and good lumbar support.

Furthermore, having a furniture piece upholstered in leather allows it to last an average of three to four times longer than furniture produced in other materials, and thereby prolonging the product’s life cycle.
