A rustic gem in Copenhagen

Posted on Sun, 9 Aug 2015 by KiM

There is something about a home that is left raw and natural that always gives me heart palpitations. I nearly fell out of my chair when I spotted this apartment that was featured in one of my favourite magazines, Milk Décoration. Formerly a watchmaker’s shop in a building constructed in 1905 in Østerbro, Copenhagen, it is the home of Niels Strøyer Christophersen, co-founder and artistic director of Danish design studio FRAMA. The patina, the history peeking out through peeling paint is perhaps too raw for most, but I think it’s absolutely beautiful. Photos: Nathalie Krag

Is there a point in time when owning a home with chevron hardwood floors this breathtaking that you eventually stop staring at them with a stupid grin on your face? Doubt it. Parisian apartment again by REV Architecture.
