In Denmark, Muuto’s signature pieces connect architecture and atmosphere at the Badehusene project.
Muuto | Badehusene
A Study in Scandinavian Serenity
On the waterfront of Aarhus, Denmark, the Badehusene development stands as a celebration of contemporary Nordic design, where clean lines, warm materials, and the quiet rhythm of daily life intersect. In collaboration with Muuto, the interiors have been curated to reflect a timeless sense of comfort and calm, embodying the Danish ideal of simplicity that inspires connection rather than distraction.
Within these light-filled spaces, Muuto’s signature pieces form a cohesive dialogue between architecture and atmosphere. In the communal areas, the Outline Chair brings sculptural structure softened by deep cushions and elegant proportions, its refined silhouette a balance of modernity and ease. Nearby, the Around Coffee Table anchors the lounge setting, its raised wooden edge framing gatherings both casual and intimate.
Dining spaces feature the minimalist strength of the 70/70 Table and the adaptable Base Table, their clean geometric frames harmonizing effortlessly with the pale wood interiors. To complement them, the Cover Armchair and Fiber Lounge Chair offer gentle curves and tactile finishes, showcasing Muuto’s sensitivity to both form and feel. The subtle texture of the Fiber Chair’s composite shell, a blend of plastic and natural fibers, echoes the project’s material honesty, while the Cover Armchair’s layered wood veneer pays homage to Scandinavian craftsmanship.
Lighting plays a defining role in shaping Badehusene’s serene identity. The soft, diffused glow of the Strand Pendant Lamp fills the open spaces with a warm, cloud-like presence, while the Rime Pendant Lamp offers a quieter counterpoint with its frosted glass and organic contours. Together, they bring a sense of continuity from morning to evening, reinforcing the project’s natural rhythm of light and shadow. The Post Floor Lamp, placed strategically in lounge corners, adds focused illumination that supports both function and intimacy.
Throughout the interiors, Muuto’s accessories lend texture and warmth. The Restore Basket, crafted from recycled felt, introduces a tactile softness that complements the clean architecture, while the Kink Vase provides an expressive sculptural element, its fluid shape and soft hue offering an artful pause within the restrained palette.
At Badehusene, every element, from furniture to lighting, contributes to a cohesive story of modern Scandinavian living. It is not a space that seeks to impress through excess, but one that invites pause and presence. Here, Muuto’s philosophy of “New Nordic” design is brought to life: functional yet poetic, rooted in craftsmanship, and elevated through simplicity.
The result is an environment that feels both deeply contemporary and inherently human, a place where light, material, and form exist in effortless harmony along the Aarhus shoreline.
