Bendixen & Baruël — Architect and Designer

“We wish to unveil that the common built environment could be far more open and connected to the natural world. That we – both mentally, socially and economically, could gain from leaving our small indoor boxes and go meet the living world with open minds.”

About:

Surrounded by the forests, fields, animals and sea of the southern Danish island of Møn, the studio of architect Cecilie Bendixen and designer Laura Baruël acts as a hub for a practice in constant collaboration with nature. Together, Bendixen & Baruël explore the potential of raw bio-gene materials through immersive spatial designs and conceptual installations that encourage learning and connection. The dynamic qualities of textiles feature as a strong element throughout their body of work – a tensile yet flexible material that moves with the wind and encourages interaction through tactility. Textile is combined with structural materials – with an increasing fascination in the unique qualities of wild tree branches and living trees whose strong angles, curves and knots bring an unpredictability to their work while connecting each project with the environment in which it was sourced and constructed. Approaching the challenges of our time through a sense of joy and an openness to the natural world, the work of Bendixen & Baruël aims to understand and emphasise the fantastic features of nature and transform under-appreciated resources into rich and complex objects and spaces to be admired and enjoyed.
