Building on the legacy of Kaare Klint

OEO Studio has designed the new café and museum shop within the Designmuseum Denmark. OEO Studio’s work forms part of the first major redesign of the museum since that undertaken by iconic Danish designer Kaare Klint in the 1920s.

Known as the father of modern Danish furniture design, Kaare Klint’s style was epitomised by clean, pure lines, the use of the best materials and superb craftsmanship. The starting point for OEO Studio’s design scheme was to honour Klint’s work, while also creating new, exciting and highly functional public spaces at the museum that retain a real sense of place.

Year of completion: 2022
