Mellemrum Exhibit
Project overview
The exhibition showcases five curated furniture pieces from past editions of The Cabinetmakers' Autumn Exhibition (Snedkernes Efterårudstilling) and is held at Helligåndshuset (the House of the Holy Ghost) in downtown Copenhagen.
Built in the 13th century, this building has witnessed centuries of transformation. Over time, it has served as a church, hospital, and monastery, and today it is used to host a variety of events. The furniture pieces being exhibited include:
S20: Composed
Artist: Ditte Hammerstrøm
SE21: Blue Hour
Artist: Erling Christoffersen
SE22: Fabrikkens Idé-Generator
Artist: Lise Vister
SE23: Panum
Artist: Peter Johansen
SE24: The necessity of focusing on a true design classic
Artist: Thomas Sigsgaard
Sisgaard, creator of furniture piece, 'The Necessity of Focusing on a True Design Classic', expressed the belief that our ways of living must be rethought, and that we should respect nature rather than consume it. This exhibition supports that idea, creating an immersion into the natural environment while physically inside, and guiding visitors outward again with a renewed sensitivity with the world beyond the walls.
Light projections drift across suspended textiles, weaving with natural and artificial light to form shadows in motion, similar to the play of light one experiences while sitting beneath a tree. The five furniture pieces are displayed on translucent acrylic pedestals, their forms elevated yet transparent, allowing the ground beneath to remain visible.
This underscores the importance of the materials on Earth that we depend on, reminding us of their quiet presence in everything we create. This exhibition focuses on grounding us, reminding us to honour the value of natural forms, and to suggest new ways of dwelling within the human and built environment.
