The Apartment

by kate on October 31, 2012

As the holidays approach, we usually begin darkening our color palette, in both our homes and our wardrobes. Rich jewel tones, dark wools, woods, and velvets usually take center stage this time of year, and since I tend toward darker neutral palettes anyway, I always look forward to this annual color shift. However, there’s something to be said for an occasional jolt of light and bright, and I found the glowing interiors in The Apartment—a Denmark interior design studio, shop, and interior all rolled into one—to be a welcome break from the dark and moody hues of autumn.

The Apartment is a carefully curated selection of design objects, furniture, and art, all displayed in an actual apartment in the heart of Copenhagen. The interior was restored by founders Tina Seidenfaden Busck and Pernille Hornhaver, who use the space to showcase a rotating collection of wares. Tina and Pernille have an ongoing relationship with local galleries and auctions houses like Sotheby’s and Phillips de Pury, which gives them access to an incredible contemporary art collection—with the added bonus that you can actually see the pieces in a home setting. To find out more, you can visit their site here. It’s an ingenious form of display, and I imagine the hardest part for the pair is seeing some of these one of a kind treasures go—although I’m sure they have plenty more treasures to play around with in this lovely apartment.

i love so much about these spaces, though they are probably much brighter than i would usually lean myself. i want each and every one of those rugs and love the wall tapestries. what an awesome place to work everyday
