  • A new sculptural fireplace divides the kitchen and living area in a Copenhagen home that dates from the 18th century.
  • The fireplace is the central focus of the living area. Designed by owner Annette Trampedach, it was inspired by traditional ones in the Mediterranean.
  • The main kitchen work area is built around the fireplace wall, and also shows a Mediterranean influence with its use of faïence tiles and rustic form.
  • A corner of the living area features a mix of antiques (including a collection of children's chairs) from different eras.
  • The dining area features a Gustavian table and chairs designed by Mallet-Stevens. A faïence jug and basin sits on the tabletop.
  • Left: A corner of the kitchen. The antique wire salad basket was found in Paris. Right: Another view of the dining area.
  • The bathroom, installed under the attic eaves. The countertop is marble, as is the bathtub surround. The cupboard doors under the sink were salvaged. Beside the bathtub stands a French bench in braided chestnut.
    The light-filled and harmonious Copenhagen home of architect and designer Annette Trampedach started life as a modest 18th century farmhouse. Renovated in the late 19th century as a holiday house for a more well-to-do owner, it continues to evolve, and is now a relaxed home for Annette and her family, with a style that reflects their Scandinavian and French lineage.
