  1. Studio Roso Established in 2008, Studio Roso is a creative partnership between Danish designers Sophie Nielsen and Rolf Knudsen. The studio fuses backgrounds in architecture, art and design; making work that radiates the ephemeral nature of our environment. The studio is the heart of the practice where both designers model, make and develop the prototypes and concepts for a project. This hybrid practice allows Studio Roso to work in the built environment, creating site-specific sculpture and on a more intimate scale.Rolf and Sophie are both graduates of the Royal College of Art MA in Design Products.

  2. The handmade ‘tree’ is made up of 3.3 miles of elastic cord and will reach over 4 meters high. A total of 1500 individual strands have been combined in groups of 10 to create the outline of a traditional Christmas Tree. Within these cords a number of geometric shapes are created, referencing both traditional Christmas ornaments and the crystalline structure of snowflakes and icicles, providing a decorative garland throughout the installation. The design for the tree was inspired by the intricate craft of bobbin lacing, a technique often used in traditional Christmas decorations. V&A Christmas tree

  3. Eden Like a giant spray of water or a burst of champagne the installation explodes into the courtyard as if it was taking part in the celebrations of a newly married couple inside the ballroom. Light filters trough the installation and an ephemeral play of light and shadow is cast on the surroundings even stretching into the surrounding spaces. Eden makes a subtle chime like sound in the wind, much like leaves rustling or water spray falling to the ground, making the courtyard a truly ephemeral space.

  4. Light A light beam coming through a window is only visible because light is reflected in the millions of dust particles floating in mid-air. This is the basic observation that is the concept for ‘Light” Two imaginary beams of light enter the courtyard from one end and travel through the space, penetrating the centre bridge building, one hitting the end wall up high above the terrace and the other, the side wall opposite this. The entire courtyard was painted white and the yard re-tarmaced in fresh black asphalt to turn the court yard into a canvas for the reflections and shadows from the installation.

  5. Mirror Chandelier Set in the very first skyscraper build in Boston by Ames Shovel Company in 1893, the hotel presents a unique mix between new and old, contemporary and vintage. Studio Roso looked in this commission to establish and strengthen existing features in the building, to merge space and installation. The brief dictated that the chandelier could only touch the building in a narrow band in 10 ft. height, thereby leaving the vaulted ceiling untouched. Studio Roso responded to this by creating a branch structure with three attachment points on which 12.000 metallized discs are suspended. This branch references both the physical and ephemeral qualities of nature and complements the floral pattern in the original mosaic, vaulted ceiling.
