Paper Collective’s Copenhagen Showroom & HQ by Nikolai Kotlarczyk.

Copenhagen-based designer Nikolai Kotlarczyk has completed his first interior design project—the 150 sqm head office and exhibition space of art producer Paper Collective. Set across two frontages on the historic Studiestræde in Copenhagen’s city centre, this new interior centres around an ever-changing exhibition space and a multi-faceted office for the growing team.

With a starting block of an almost industrial, white gallery space, the interiors have been softened through the use of oak furniture, warm rugs and textural drapes throughout—the colour tones for the rippled drapes inspired by the nearby Cathedral Our Ladies Church. Spaces transition from open working environments, to more intimate breakout zones, a standalone exhibition space and a communal lunchroom. Throughout all areas, a sense of domesticity has been maintained, linking Paper Collective’s catalogue of works for both the home and commercial environments.

In keeping with the international flavour of the brand, as well as their Scandinavian roots, a clean palette of materials such as oak and cloud-like lighting is mixed with rich terrazzo, soft marble and vibrant drapery to devise an interior that welcomes connectivity.

Kotlarczyk emphasised the capabilities of Paper Collective’s own product range within the space. Both street-facing zones feature custom stainless steel hanging displays that highlight the art producer’s ever-changing selection of artworks on show, whilst the open office environments and lunchroom feature their large acoustic products to help create a pleasant working and social environment. Large custom artworks are also featured alongside Paper Collective’s standard collection of artworks.

The new interior shifts focus to a space for events, promoting new collections and to better highlight the artist’s work across a range of industries—from architecture to fashion, photography to illustration.
