A spatial version of MBADV’s beige universe composed of carefully selected natural materials – linnen, stoneware, terrazzo.Together, the materials, lighting and furniture create a harmonious interior focusing on the importance of the understated detail.

Typologies

Architecture speaks of typologies as systematic divisions of differences and similarities. This rationale is the starting point for the series Typologies. The meeting between materials and their varying forms is the framework for the modular stackable elements that can be combined and configured in many different ways, like small sculptural columns on a dining table.

In Dialogue

‘In Dialogue’ is a group exhibition exploring the heritage and legacy of Fredericia Furniture’s classic Danish designs. A selection of Danish and international artists and designers engage in conversation across rooms and surfaces, disciplines and generations, materials and perspective. Sculptural, organic shapes and an emphasis on materiality and structure are pervasive elements in the exhibited works, furthering the scope and scale of this dialogue.
The works share the notion of quality, craftsmanship and the aim to create and nourish a sensuous bond between object and viewer, a sentiment which is also distinct in the Fredericia Furniture brand.

Relief

Each piece of furniture consists of a number of rolled hammertoned steel arches that hold the stained Douglas Pine plates with varying cuts. The arches and plates are retained by a unique assembly bracket in wood, steel and brass fittings. Together, these cuts create cavities of various sizes, in which there is room for storage in the custom made burnished steel shelves or drawers. In the course of the material, a multitude of poetical reliefs are formed. The repetition, dimensions and rhythm of the materials play with the perspective and the design of the two cabinets explores different degrees of functionality.

These pieces investigates function of furniture and the space they occupy, as well as the creation of a piece of furniture with the highest quality and detailing craftsmanship. We are fascinated by a scenographic whole, based on a premise of creating furniture, to be perceived, experienced and surprise from every angle, in order to give the viewer an aesthetic and distinctive narrative about both architecture, furniture design and craftsmanship.

Bricks of Time

‘Bricks of Time’ experiments with function, form and materials that borrow references from the world of furniture-making. The ceramic elements are produced on an old extrusion machine once used to manufacture traditional building bricks.

For this project, the machine was fitted with a custom-made mouthpiece (nozzle) that gives the elements their unique shape. After extrusion, the serially produced ceramic elements are finished by hand and stacked in combination with glass sheets to create two different constructions. The extruded elements can be seen as a material expression of the time it takes to produce a brick of a given length; conversely, a given length reflects a given time interval. The time aspect is further highlighted by the lengthwise lines imprinted during the extrusion process, resembling seismographic
lines on a roll of paper.

Keramiske Strukturer

Ceramic Structures’ is inspired by columns – as a modular construction system.

The system consists of three elements; a glazed base, a building block and a building block with a slot, that can hold a transverse wooden beam. These can be configured in different ways. ‘Ceramic Structures’ is hand-thrown stoneware elements and Douglas pine beams. You are allowed to sense the process. ‘Ceramic Structures’ mimes doorways and furniture without necessarily being that, while the building blocks relate to stackable stoneware pots. The visually poetic and spacious sculptures relate in scale directly to the body and radiate calmness, movement and balance.

Objects of Use Vases

Object of Use Vases, is a series of bowls / vases / pots in three colors of stoneware. Each vase has a pedestal in oak, with brass cuffs. This can be turned upside down and has two use heights. The series is rethinking the plant pot, but with tangible references to the old classic. Objects of Use Vases is a small scale interpretation of Objects of Use. The ambition was to create a functional series of vases with the aesthetic and materials of its less functional predecessor – Objects of Use. We teamed up with set designer Pernille Andersen and photographer Benita Marcussen to produce a visual story about the series. In this collaboration, we gave the set designer and photographer total freedom to play and to carry out their creative visions for the Objects of Use Vases. The aim was to create the perfect scene to express and accentuate the story of the vases.
