The Garde Hvalsøe showroom in central Copenhagen has been revitalised by design duo Bunn Studio. The showroom is subtle yet striking, whilst celebrating the Garde Hvalsøe philosophy of high-quality craftsmanship.
Garde Hvalsøe’s handcrafted furniture is based on Danish furniture, design, and architecture traditions. The collection of timeless designs forms the cornerstone of their bespoke luxury solutions for kitchens, bathrooms, interiors, and wardrobes.
Bunn Studio has mixed materials and colours, alongside the introduction of organic shapes for the space design. All framed by curtains on curtain tracks from Stilling.

CHROME FOR THE KITCHEN
In the kitchen area of the showroom, our square HS 1515 curtain track in the colour polished chrome complements the kitchen’s chrome extractor hood and metallic plate rack. This elegant ensemble is beautifully offset by the dark marble and stunning burgundy floors. In addition, the white sheer curtains filter the sunlight and create a beautiful, soft backdrop for the functional kitchen designs.
SERENE TAPESTRY
The curtains extend along the walls on both sides of the living and dining area serving as a serene white tapestry behind the wooden and natural-toned furniture. The soft shapes of the furniture are highlighted by the waves of the curtains, created with our “Perfect Wave” system.
WHITE TRACKS FOR ROOMDIVISION
On one side of the living room area, the HS 1515 curtain track in Chrome suports the sheer white curtains. On the opposite wall, the same curtain and same curtain track is featured, but the HS 1515 is in the colour White. Here, the curtain serves as a room divider, discreetly concealing an office space.
BURNISHED BRASS FOR THE BEDROOM
In the bedroom, the Flagline Bed, designed by Bunn Studio for Garde Hvalsøe, is enveloped by alternating panels of brown and sand-coloured wool curtains. The curtains are draped on our round HS 2000 Prestige curtain tracks in burnished brass, creating a warm ambience and matching the curtains perfectly.
The curtain track not only forms a backdrop for the bed but also extends on each side, so that the curtains stretch along the walls. The bedroom and wardrobe is thus softly and elegantly draped in fabrics.
A TRIBUTE TO NATURE
The earthy tones are a recurring theme throughout Bunn Studio’s space design, creating a sense of grounding and tranquility. Garde Hvalsøe’s products are a tribute to the beauty of nature, expressed through the natural materials, meticulously transformed into timeless, elegant interior designs. And with the chosen curtains and curtain tracks, metals and colours unite beautifully in the Garde Hvalsøe showroom in Copenhagen.
THE AARHUS SHOWROOM
The ‘Mejlborg’ building in Århus houses the joint showroom of Garde Hvalsøe and Dinesen. In this historical gem from 1898, the elegance of Garde Hvalsøe kitchens and furniture is accentuated by the quality craftsmanship of Dinesen plank floors. The showroom, which covers 600 m2 and opened in 2018, is divided into two wings, with various spaces. Bunn Studio redesigned the left wing in 2022, and in 2024, Djernes & Bell redesigned the right wing. The first room to enter in the right wing is the Salon, welcoming you through tailored, transparent curtains in fabric by Kvadrat on curtain tracks by Stilling.
ORIGINAL GLASS ART
The ornamental glass ceiling and colourful glass windows of the building, typical examples of Victorian-era ornamentation and decoration, have been preserved. These materials have been championed again in the showroom’s redesign, adding a touch of nostalgia and authenticity to the space. One beautiful example is the bespoke glass finials by Alexander Kirkeby, adorning our handcrafted, HS 2000 prestige curtain track in burnished brass. The tracks are carrying beautiful, sheer pale rose curtains, falling in perfect ripplefolds.
