For 3 Days of Design in Copenhagen, Agape and Agapecasa returned in partnership with File Underneath Pop for ‘Inventive Place in Area’, a multi-studio set up offered along with V–ZUG, Davide Groppi, and Garde Hvalsøe. The undertaking brings collectively totally different home settings by which objects, supplies, mild, and artworks are positioned as a part of a single spatial composition.
On the heart of Agapecasa’s contribution is Villa Schwob, a key undertaking in Le Corbusier’s profession. Constructed between 1916 and 1917 for entrepreneur Anatole Schwob, the villa marks the top of his Swiss interval and factors towards the geometric abstraction, structural use of concrete, and spatial concepts that outline his later work.
For ‘Inventive Place in Area’, Villa Schwob is used as a spatial place to begin. The set up refers back to the villa’s double top corridor, with its giant window, open sightlines, and low, modular structure that retains the view in direction of the surface clear. This setting is reinterpreted as a casual lounge, the place every aspect is rigorously positioned throughout the house.

Schwob Desk
The Schwob Desk sits on the heart of the house. Designed by Italian architects Angelo Mangiarotti and Bruno Morassutti within the Nineteen Fifties, each recognized for his or her exact, materials pushed modernist work, the desk was initially conceived for Villa Schwob once they had been commissioned to reinterpret its interiors. Its low, modular type retains the house open, whereas the aspect handles make it straightforward to maneuver
Initially produced in very small numbers for the villa, the Schwob Desk remained exterior industrial manufacturing and was documented primarily by drawings and images. Agapecasa now presents a re-edition, primarily based on the unique proportions and development. Proven right here for the primary time in Northern Europe, it seems in numerous stones and okumè plywood.
