With respect for the history and architecture of the old Mejlborg building, Studio David Thulstrup has created an inspiring home-style universe which we share with our friends from Garde Hvalsøe.
Mejlborg was built in 1898 - the exact same year as Dinesen was founded. And as one of the most eye-catching buildings in Aarhus, the Gothic Renaissance style edifice has for more than a hundred years been welcoming visitors entering the city from the northern main way.
The space is divided into six rooms, each presenting the diversity in both the Dinesen and Garde Hvalsøe product range of solid plank floors and bespoke kitchens. Thulstrup chose to style the space like a home, using colour as the defining principle that links the heritage and the new.
Each room is painted in a specially mixed tone taken from the decorative ceiling – a light minty blue for the kitchen and dining room, yellowy nude for the lounge and dressing room, mustard for the informal meeting room and a dusty purple for an office.
Mejlborg Basement
As a new initiative, we chose to transform the showroom’s basement floor into a special archival space of materials open for architects and designers, giving them the opportunity to see, touch and sense different materials when working with their projects.
The shelves in Mejlborg Basement contain materials from Dinesen, Kvadrat, Petersen Tegl, Sorensen Leather, Zurface, Weber and Surface Cph.
Besides the facilities that invite to be used for exhibitions, workshops, talks and meetings, the basement also contains a special room dedicated to exploring the invisible qualities of materials through sound. Here, we encourage visitors to step in barefoot, close the door and turn off the light to experience a six-minute meditative soundtrack of a 100-year-old Douglas tree being cut down with chainsaws in the Black Forest.
The facilities can be booked at mejlborg-basement.dk.
