Your lovely apartment also has a subtle yet strong use of colour. Can you tell me about some of the choices you made with your own space?
Iben:
Why thank you! Hmmm well, I chose neutral colours, which creates an homogeneous and subtle backdrop for my life. I travel a lot with work which is why my home is where I retreat and rest, so it is very important to me, that it is comfortable and simple. There is no white surface in my home, but still I don't think that guests would notice, that there is actually both blue, green, beige and red in my apartment. Furthermore the spatial layout is totally open, which also challenges how and where you make the transitions between the different colours, surfaces and rooms.

We are so happy to see our new Floating Gallery Shelf in your apartment. Can you tell me how you have placed them and why you went for a mix of the polished stainless steel and oak fronts?
Iben:
I placed the Floating Gallery Shelves quite high up on my walls allowing space between both the ceiling and other furnitures, which stand on the floor. I feel this placement gives the pieces displayed on the selves room to breathe. I love both the oak with steel fronts - it creates a bit of tension with my own furniture, which is mainly made of wood.

You also chose a great selection of art prints from Paper Collective. What were some of your thoughts behind your selection?
Iben:
I love Paper Collective because it makes art accessible to everyone. You also have a great range of different options and styles to choose from. I have chosen an artwork form All the Way to Paris, which I very much connect with, since I think that the message, “Mother Earth is never out of fashion” is relevant and everlasting.
