Space Copenhagen
Established in 2005 by two graduates of the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts’ School of Architecture, Signe Bindslev Henriksen (born 1973) and Peter Bundgaard Rützou (born 1966), Space Copenhagen is a design studio working across multiple disciplines. Having grown from just the two of them into a diverse and dynamic team of architects and designers, Space Copenhagen has taken on a huge variety of global design and interior projects over the last two decades. Its output encompasses furniture, lighting, and refined objects, as well as art installations, art direction, and interior design for private homes, hotels, and restaurants.
Their fascination with the human, and their curiosity about people and the way they engage with each other, their environments and wider society, touches every element of the practice. Space Copenhagen’s goal for any given project is not merely the tangible object or interior that results, but also the opportunity it provides to enrich their knowledge and understanding of human relationships.

COHERENT AND BEAUTIFUL
Space Copenhagen’s intuitive approach leads to designs shaped by given circumstances, functional needs, and a fundamental interest in human behavior. For any project, whether object or interior, the team focuses on refining design ideas until they reach a solution that is both coherent and beautiful.
BALANCING OPPOSITES
Driven by curiosity, the studio’s ambition is to forge new paths by balancing opposites — classic and modern, industrial and organic, sculptural and minimal. Its work is characterized by dualities and contrasts, the result of a thoroughgoing exploration of concept and a meticulous attention to detail.
POETIC MODERNISM
The products and spaces they create have an emotional dimension that invites a personal connection with the user – a slow aesthetic that foregrounds quality and encourages longevity. For Henriksen and Rützou, a successful piece of design is one that becomes a part of the family and is passed down lovingly from generation to generation. They call this approach ‘Poetic Modernism’ – a term which expresses both the simplicity and functionality of their work, as well as its richer transcendent and intuitive qualities. In Space Copenhagen’s hands, an object is both an expression of purpose and an agent of metaphor.
Alongside its products, the studio is continually adding to an international roster of high-end interiors that includes an award-winning design for 11 Howard Hotel in New York, the interiors of London hotel The Stratford, and acclaimed destination restaurants Geist, Geranium and Noma in Copenhagen.
AWARD-WINNING DESIGN
Over the years, Space Copenhagen has created a succession of widely lauded designs for GUBI, including the Stay and Wonder Collections of lounge furniture, the elegant and organic Moon table family, the Private Collection of storage and display furniture, and the beautifully balanced Gravity, Unbound and Howard lighting ranges.
