2024 SS
24SS explores the theme ‘Reinterpretation’, inspired by our research into Danish design
culture and investigation of typical Danish summer traditions.
Continuing to explore the simple, elevated aesthetic forms so commonly found in Danish
design, this season we also focus on the key characteristics of Scandinavian Modernism.
Danish design forms, whilst blending elements of tradition and modernity, often prioritise
functionality. A key reference for this collection is Grundtvig’s church - a unique, symbolic structure in Copenhagen that reinterprets traditional Gothic architecture in a Brick
Expressionism style.
Beyond functionality, design is considered to create a meeting point between people and
objects, connecting design with social development and culture. Arne Jacobsen’s Bellevue Beach development focused on bringing nature closer to people’s everyday life
through the use of a simple, honest architectural style.
“Reinterpretation” -DENMARK-
Danish culture has long had a strong connection to the natural world. The use of organic shapes and forms create a harmonious design language that celebrates the wealth of nature. This kind of thoughtfulness is always at the heart of F/CE.’s design.
Spring and summer seasons mean time spent with family and friends in the outdoors, at summerhouses or even ‘Kolonihave’ (communal allotments), enjoying life away from the speed and pressures of the city. Inspired by real experiences and a lifestyle that co-exists with nature, we present a range of new designs that integrate a more relaxed feeling into F/CE.’s standard high-quality and functional collection.
For 24SS, we present a collection inspired by ‘Reinterpretation’, considering the key principles; "valuing our connection with nature", "fusing design elements without conflict" and "prioritising elegance and gentleness.
