Bergen Camping

Local

Originally designed by Egill Reimers in 1920, the building that now houses Bergen Camping has lived many lives before becoming a mini-golf, food and performing arts venue (Entertainment Venue). Local worked closely with Bergen’s heritage authorities to preserve and reinterpret the building’s character while revitalizing its architecture, interior design and furniture design. Raw elements of the building are balanced with tactile, sustainable finishes like acoustic ceilings and recycled paper wall coverings.

Reinterpreted

Takt Project

The exhibition design for IM Men was conceived as an addition to the Issey Miyake brand’s ‘A Piece of Cloth’ philosophy (Exhibition, Light). The design team added one ‘line’ to the ‘piece of cloth’ to create the exhibition installation. Using a bolt of translucent fabric suspended from the ceiling and a laser level pointed at it, the designers transform the everyday objects into a dynamic sculpture reflecting the brand’s multifaceted and diverse range of clothing.

The Magnum Ice Cream Company Headquarters

EGM Architects

‘Playful seriousness’ is the name of the game at the headquarters of this ice cream company (Large Office). A former Booking.com office was repurposed for the new headquarters of Magnum Ice Cream Company, reimagining it with high professional standards and a sense of joy. The design of the office also had to reflect Magnum Ice Cream’s sub-brands like Cornetto and Carte d’Or, adding to the challenge. ‘I liked that conscious efforts were taken to repurpose, minimize waste and optimise elements from a previously functioning office serving a totally different purpose,’ wrote jury member Sarika Shetty, partner at SJK Architects.

The Lightwell Dumbo

Durukan Design

Durukan Design was tasked with completing the interior planning for this seven-story, 218-unit residential building in Brooklyn, New York (Co-Living Complex). With seamless connections to several amenity spaces like a café, spa and gym, the designers sought to emphasize a sense of community and social engagement. Earthy hues were used to ground the spaces and create a sense of restorative ambiance.

Ikea’s Hus of Frakta

Studioxag

Previously covered on FRAMEweb, Ikea’s Hus of Frakta puts the company’s classic bag front-and-centre, framing it in the language of high-fashion pop-up stores (Pop-up Store, Colour). Through a collaboration with Master’s students at Central Saint Martins, custom patches were made for bag customization and a mirrored entry hall and human-cotton-candy dispenser added theatrical touches. What began as a delayed store opening was transformed into a culturally relevant moment, sparking commentary on luxury, value and relevance.
