When we included the leasing of Kasia Sznajder and Fred Aartun in Liseleje, Denmark, the 2 were on the edge of introducing their now functioning gallery task, aarticles. Their summerhouse, affectionately called The Pine Home 1970, quickly ended up being a staging ground for curated items and rare discovers as the project developed. So too is their Copenhagen house, their main home in a city where Kasia and Fred have lived and worked for over a decade. With aarticles, Kasia, a brand name strategist, and Fred, Head of Creative at Frama, have actually turned away from the newly created products emerging from the Copenhagen brands they support and inward towards contemporary art and found things, selected through a shared field of observation. They point out influences including Georgia O’Keeffe, J.B. Blunk, Lina Bo Bardi, and Isamu Noguchi, bringing a distinct mix of recommendations to a European audience.
Fred has resided in the apartment or condo, situated simply near the canals of Christianshavn, for eight years– having first discovered it when pals hosted a photoshoot there and later on linked him with the owners. Five years later, Kasia moved in and immediately upgraded the kitchen area (she previously dealt with Danish cooking area business Reform). The 775-square-foot apartment is equivalent parts container for every day life and, given that introducing aarticles, a modular studio space– a testing ground for how specific pieces engage. “We see the home as a background for the things we gather, so we love to move everything around on a regular basis. It’s an area that easily allows for modification– for us to be modular and to experiment,” Fred explains. “Now that we have actually begun aarticles, it’s constantly filled with brand-new art and design pieces. That constant movement and redecorating guarantees we never ever weary of the area.”

Above: The couple appreciates the historic qualities that remain– initial ceiling moldings and solid wood floorings, where, as Fred notes, “you can really see the marks of time.” A corner display screen consisted of a Noguchi Akari 26N Lamp, and a found terracotta vessel from Chianti, Italy.
