RUM Interior Design

LET THE SUNSHINE IN ▫️ Welcome to a new issue of RUM, where we celebrate spring, sunshine, and brighter days. With a curated selection of outdoor furniture, we invite you to enjoy life under the open sky. Step inside a new and deeply personal project by entrepreneur Carla Cammilla Hjort – a guesthouse set in the Danish countryside, shaped by the same sense of calm and creative energy that led her to move from Copenhagen to Stevns a few years ago. Meet her in this issue. We also visit a true urban oasis – home to an artist – and explore a historic house in Belgium, where materials and spatial flow come together with quiet precision. Enjoy!

OLD SOUL, NEW LOOK ▫️ A former 19th-century estate in Belgium, complete with a chapel preserved in its original state, has been transformed into an open and light-filled family home. Here, flow, natural light, and a refined material palette create a calm setting for photographer Els Lambrechts and her family.

ART TO THE PEOPLE ▫️ Throughout their careers, married couple and professional octopuses Marie Nipper and Simon Friese have worked tirelessly and passionately to advance art, together as well as apart, in a string of high-profile roles. For our international issue out now, RUM asked them : What are some of the other projects you are working on right now? SF: “One is a large exhibit at Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma in Helsinki with British sculptor Sir Antony Gormley. Another is a huge strategic project spanning the newly built central Copenhagen neighbourhood Postbyen – the first public artwork will be revealed this summer, by a really exciting artist. We cannot tell you who it is just yet, but we’ve been working on that one for a very, very long time. We’ve also been working with Copenhagen Airport for about eight years now – currently we have Danish artist Ruth Campau’s monumental painting Something In The Way We Move covering a 250 metre long wall shielding ongoing construction to expand the airport. It’s one of the largest paintings ever made in Denmark, and about 25,000 people pass by it every day. This year, the painting, too, will expand as the construction area changes. Once construction is done, we’ll begin looking for an artist to decorate the new space – 60,000 m2 of blank space. Also at the airport, we have an upcoming project with Danish artist Frederik Nystrup-Larsen, who has created paintings based on the sparse flora you find in the airport grounds. His aim is to push back on what he labels ‘plant blindness’, meaning a lot of people today no longer know or recognise the flora that surrounds us.” Photo by @christoffer_regild_photography and @linethitklein and words by @lise_ulrich

TWO ARTISTS AND A BABY ▫️ He is known for his colourful flower paintings; she is working on a project around fruit. For Amanda Lydert and Frederik Nystrup-Larsen, their love of art and each other are closely intertwined – mirrored in their apartment in a rear courtyard in Vesterbro, which is home to both their studio and life with their infant son - full story out now ▫️ Words by @metteskjodt and photo by @frederik_la

COTTAGE LIFE ▫️ Byberry Cottage is one of a kind. Tucked away between soft forest paths and pristine lake waters in the peaceful Upstate New York hamlet of Cooperstown, it is a house shaped by the spirits of its former residents. Stories of the past intertwine here in endless enigmatic rooms, nurtured by the sensitive guardianship of art dealer Jason McCoy, sculptor Lisbeth McCoy and their son, musician Charles Rasmussen McCoy. Together they have given the cottage new life, guided by the quiet knowledge that a home isn’t merely a place to live, but something you create – over and over Jason McCoy: “We found Byberry Cottage sort of by coincidence. My wife Lisbeth McCoy and I had just completed a major renovation on our former home when we passed by a local estate agent one day and noticed that Byberry Cottage was for sale. As soon as we stepped inside, we both realised that the house had a truly special sense of soul. A mixture of history, romance and something almost timeless. Even though it was in need of a lot of work, it was clear that this could become our home. We decided to take the plunge and now, almost 15 years later, I can’t imagine ever having done anything else.” Full story out now ▫️ Photo, words and styling by @joelykke

FREE FLOW▫️ When Marianne Dulong and Christian Dulong Hoff came to see the results of the extensive rebuild and interior design of their family summer home for the first time, interior designer Nathalie Schwer and her team had arrived ahead of them to prepare. “The furniture was in place; the paintings were hung. We arrived late at night and it was dark and cold outside, so we entered with a torch and slowly took in the house through that beam of light,” Marianne Dulong says before Christian Dulong Hoff adds: “We were speechless. It was an incredible, all-encompassing experience.” Full story out in our international issue ▫️ Photo by @enokholsegaard // styling by @studio.nathalie.schwer and words by @sofie.brunner.studio

A FAMILY AFFAIR▫️ “The house has been in the family since it was built. We moved in when my grandfather died to look after the house while his estate was being settled. At the time, we were living in an apartment in Copenhagen but ended up moving in permanently. For many years, we shared the house with my mother, which was wonderful for both her and Leonora. It created a special bond between the two of them and it was a perfect way to live because the house allowed us to have our separate lives but also spend time together across generations,” Marianne Holstein Lindorff explains. When her mother passed away in 2021, she and her husband decided to remain in the house. WE VISITED▫️ Marianne Holstein Lindorff, marketing and communications manager at electrical engineering corporation ABB, and Eivind Lindorff, childcare practitioner and manager at an after-school club. Their daughter, architecture student Leonora Holstein Lindorff, also has a room in the house, which she sometimes still uses when she visits. She lives in Copenhagen with her boyfriend. THE RESIDENCE ▫️ A 336 square metre house designed by Danish architect Mogens Lassen (1901-1987), built between 1936 and 1939. The house is inspired by Le Corbusier’s cubist language, and the smooth, white surfaces, the uninterrupted band of windows and the wide, open terraces all stem from the French architect’s early work. The house is situated next to two buildings in the same architectural style also designed by Mogens Lassen, of which one belonged to the architect himself and the other to the civil engineer who worked on the project▫️ Full story out now Words and styling by @mariegraunboel and photo by @mikkeltjellesen

PUBLIC SERVICE ▫️ Throughout their careers, married couple and professional octopuses Marie Nipper and Simon Friese have worked tirelessly and passionately to advance art, together as well as apart, in a string of high-profile roles. Now, they are back sharing an office at Creator Projects in Copenhagen, the art agency they co-founded more than a decade ago. With a strong belief in the power of art and its essential presence in society, the dynamic duo speaks to RUM about their journey, the art of switching off, and their exciting array of projects, which include working with artists such as Alicja Kwade and SUPERFLEX, and not least shaping the new Copenhagen Triennale - full story out now Words by @lise_ulrich and photo by @linethitklein ▫️
