With the support of various foundations and private contributors, SMILET is the first workshop of its kind in a hospital setting and provides a safe haven for living, playing, creating, and forgetting in an everyday life often permeated by illness.

“From beginning to end working with SMILET was fuelled by the ambition to create a setting with an atmosphere that reflects something other than the sterile environment of a hospital. The focus was on warm, friendly materials and lighting reminiscent of a living room or a child’s playroom.”

– Architect Sune Fisker Mogensen, SMO

Architect Sune Fisker Mogensen of SMO created the workshop’s inspiring surroundings. In collaboration with COBE and CC Gruppen, he developed a space filled with warmth, closeness and room for creative expression.

Dinesen donated the wood and solid oak flooring that helps provide a space that allows children and young people admitted to Rigshospitalet to forget their vulnerability for a while.

The bench, aquarium table and movable furniture, designed by Design Studies, are made of Dinesen Douglas and Oak.
