Masculine vs feminine: contrasts and foggy greys

What defines these spaces? Sophisticated, muted tones and heavy blacks. Perfect balance between the softness and the roughness of all surfaces. Masculine!

A-Collection by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec

Great set of tables, benches and stackable chairs designed to furnish the Faculty of Humanities at University of Copenhagen. Created by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec design studio for Danish furniture manufacturer Hay.

'With this new collection it was our ambition to resume an old scandinavian tradition targeting specific architecture and specific needs in designing new furniture... 
In our proposal for the new range of educational furniture, we have attempted to create furniture which in form and identity has a clear dating in our age and which in a compelling manner uncovers the functional needs of a university in 2012.'

Lotta Agaton: visiting an interior stylist

Simple yet so refined: airy scandinavian whites, contrasting blacks, subtle wooden tones, rich, welcoming greens. And the kitchen... divine! Once more the non-obvious obvious comes to my mind - that designing is actually more about substracting than adding.
