ON YIN AND YANG AND FEELING THE WAY FORWARD
Signe Bindslev Henriksen and Peter Bundgaard Rützou are the designers behind Space Copenhagen. Over the past eight years, they have designed spaces for restaurants of the Michelin-star variety. Often they were unable to find the piece of furniture they wanted to use, so they simply designed it themselves, which is how Spine was conceived. At Space Copenhagen, they make use of the dialogue between male and female, their yin and yang. Light and dark. This sometimes leads to the dark side and they do a lot of arguing, says Signe Bindslev Henriksen (SB). When she gets annoyed, she throws almonds, says Peter Bundgaard Rützou (PB), who is quick to add that she doesn’t have very good aim. This makes both of them laugh, the light once again restored.
