Camp Greenhouse

Note Design Studio creates Camp Greenhouse, hall for young designers at the Stockholm Furniture Fair 2014, in collaboration with Nyréns Arkitektkontor.

In the Greenhouse hall for young designers at the Furniture Fair in Stockholm, Note Design Studio has designed a space inspired by the intense social interaction that the fair gives the exhibitors over the few days its open.

The task was to create a social space, the perfect setting for interaction between designers, customers and the press. The environment in the Greenhouse stimulates conversation, new ideas and projects. The design should resemble a large tent which would be the natural place to meet, and aiming to hit the scale in between furniture and larger scale constructions by crossing elements from the two. Both in terms of overall design and how the detailing is made.

The exhibition hall has a layout that resembles the structured layout of a scout camp with exhibition booths placed symmetrically around a central meeting space – the large tent in the middle of the hall. There are also other added objects as a flag pole showing a big camp flag and seating inspired by the typical tripod used over open campfire. The colours are soft grey and dark blue tones that that enhances the natural light pine wood. The architypical conical tent shape is given three entrence points based on the flows of the hall. These points are lifted up in the air creating the overall geometry of the space. The construction is made up of 66 glulam lamellas resting on 3 glulam archs. The meeting between the two is CNC cut.
