This space in Copenhagen is a concept store fittingly named The Apartment. Created by Tina Seidenfaden Busck and Pernille Hornhaver, the space in Christianshavn is used to display their rotating inventory of furniture, art and design. These are just a selection of my favorite images from a space that is constantly changing over time.
The highlight for me is the boucherouite rugs, the brightly colored ones with loads of texture. Hand woven by Berber women in Morocco, they are created from recycled materials including wool, cotton and shredded fabric. Each rug is a spontaneous, unique, labor of love; some taking over a year to create. You can also see some beni ourain rugs, the ivory shaggy ones with geometric patterns. Hand woven in Morocco by tribes in the mountainous areas south east of Fez, the style was a favorite of Le Corbusier and Alvar Aalto.
