A modern home in Herlev

We were asked to help a newly single father furnish an entire house from scratch – a new-build home in Herlev where he and his three children could start their next chapter together.

Though he had a strong sense of style, the scale of the project felt overwhelming. That’s where we came in, guiding the design to create a calm, cohesive space with room for family life.

“Furnishing an entire house from scratch is an overwhelming process, but Signe took the lead to create the interior I had wished for. I truly enjoy living in the result – there’s a clear sense of cohesion & lightness.”

Soft neutrals meet sculptural form. This space balances warm tones with a tactile mix of curves and clean-lined pieces – creating a calm, structured feel throughout.
