The Danish Design Centre wanted to inject warmth and presence into the atrium, the heart of the centre, as the space appeared cold and uninviting.

The architectural lines and movements of the space inspired the creation of the piece and its integration within the space. A large stair, that runs along the wall, formed the basis for the motif. Its oblique line up through the space creates a dynamic movement that connects the ground floor with the first floor. At the same time the wall built (in the space) at an oblique angle on the ground plan makes the dynamic movement noticeable.

The dynamic movement is transferred to the piece, the motif underlines the Architectural lines and one is led up the stair. At first sight, the piece looks like a painting, but close up one discovers the braiding, the tactile and the craftsmanship. The textile and the joyful, redish palet of the piece softens the cold impression evoked by materials in the space and accomodates the audience.

Thanks to kvadrat for sponsoring the fabric.
