A young family of four has made a home in a former pencil factory in Copenhagen, which has been renovated and converted into several flats. It is clear to see that the family’s flat was once a part of the old factory. The raw, industrial look has been preserved but is softened by the daylight pouring in through the large window sections and the original, well-preserved light shafts.

The flat appears spacious and open but is divided into zones that provide a natural distribution of the space. In the living room, the large flower bowls act as modern and decorative room dividers between the flat’s dining area and living room. The black industrial-inspired kitchen from VIPP, the dark furniture and the white, decorated walls reflect the owners’ interest in design and graphic art.
In contrast to the building’s industrial look, the couple has chosen Dinesen Douglas Natural planks, the warm, natural expression of which gives the flat a warm ambience.
Planks from Dinesen have also been used to make a table in the children’s room and two benches. Using the same material for flooring and benches gives the narrow corridor a clean and simple expression while also meeting a functional need in a busy family.
