With a seductive title such as “The Intimate Side of Art,” the installation reflecting on the importance of having a space to develop our identity as creators, was hosted by Openhouse and Expormim along with Nanimarquina and Marset at Ruby Atelier gallery during the recent edition of 3DaysofDesign. The event, which took place last week in Copenhagen (June 12th, 13th and 14th) marked a particularly special occasion in the memoirs of Openhouse history.
Built over the idea of sneaking into an artist’s studio, Ruby Atelier Gallery was transformed into a theatrical backdrop, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in a creative environment and witness a blend of artistic expressions and curated chaos.
The exhibition was the scenario of some compelling encounters guided by Johanna Nyborg and Alisa Larsen. With their helms, we learnt about silhouettes of light with Joanna Laajisto, designer of the Ihana lamp by Marset. Kasper Rønn Von Lotzbeck of Norm Architects stepped into the ‘house’ to reflect on furniture acting as a shelter in regards of Expormim’s Cask collection; whereas Maria Piera Marquina and Vicent Carbonell Valls sat on the central sofa to discuss colors and textures in rugs and tapestries designed to enhance people’s well-being at Nanimarquina.
Last but not least, we had the great pleasure of joining David López Quincoces, designer of the newest collections of Expormim, Henriette Schou, the stylist behind the decor of “The Intimate Side of Art,” and Inma Buendía, Editor-in-Chief of Openhouse, to learn more about their different perspectives on building a design project with an editorial narrative purpose.
We are still moved by both the attendants, the brands and the contributors who made the installation an actual creative atelier by experiencing the intimate side of art.
