Archival Studies is a Copenhagen-based design practice that explores interior architecture for transformation and care of the existing.
Applying regenerative concepts, flexible building systems, and sensory-rich environments.
We actively engage with a network of partners, collaborating with private, public, and commercial clients.
Selected projects
Exhibition design for the large experimental show at the intersection of art and architecture:
Reset Materials – Towards Sustainable Architecture
As one walks through the space at Japanese-inspired eatery Kōnā, the translucent orange planes of textile shift in appearance and melt into an atmospheric cloud of colour that gives a stimulating warmth to the cold concrete space.
Located in the central living room of a newly renovated Friis og Moltke family home, here the Archival Studies kitchen island references the simple and material-focused charm of the Danish modernist house.
«Being in the world is messy and architecture holds a promise to make sense of it.»
Curious to find out more about our practice, the way we started and how we think about the future? About aliveness, universality, the quality without a name, opportunities in production and transformation.

For the Gasoline Grill interior in Tivoli, our aim was not just to design a modern diner that’s efficient and comfortable but also to craft a unique spatial experience that embodies the Gasoline Grill identity and maximized the inherent qualities of the space we had to work with.
