In a hidden oasis of a small Copenhagen backyard, you’ll find the Danish Studio Force Majeure, a design studio we’ve proudly partnered with since their early days.

Office, gallery, and event hub – the studio does it all. In such a versatile space, Force Majeure needed curtains that whispered elegance while still making a statement. “It’s so secretive inside this backyard. You wonder, ‘What’s happening in there?’ It used to be an old gallery with no windows. We’ve been refurbishing it along the way, and now we’re almost finished. The space is divided into an office and a gallery, with curtains that perfectly match our signature mint-green vibe.”

About their collaboration with brands and event organisers, Christine Sofie Johansen says: “Every time we redesign this space, it gets a fresh vibe. We rent it out for all sorts of events, and it’s amazing to see how versatile these rooms are. It’s great to have a place that radiates so much Force Majeure yet allows for endless creative displays.”

CURTAINS SET THE MOOD

Even though Force Majeure’s studio needs a flexible design, their unique style still shines through. Especially when you step into the bathroom:

“It’s cool to get a visual surprise in the bathroom. The room is not huge, but it’s tall, so lowering the ceiling made sense. That’s the magic of textiles! You can create a new vibe or lower the ceiling without it feeling cramped, thanks to the air between the layers.”

In our eyes, Force Majeure has long been advocates and frontrunners when it comes to experimental interior design. And when it comes to challenging both themselves and their clients, Christine Sofie Johansen points out:

“The exciting task now is to get people to use curtains more artistically. Curtains don’t always have to cover a window. Danish design is so stringent and proper – all about good quality and craftsmanship. But curtains dance as you walk by. They hang in folds and curves. They bring rooms to life. I can’t imagine designing a space without them.”
