In Praise of Shadows

In Praise of Shadows works with idea, material and site as ingredients to create specific architecture. Matter, light and shadows are their tools to create meaningful spaces and they explore what contemporary architecture can learn from traditional uses of materials.

The use of wood, concrete, textile, steel and simple standard materials gives their projects energy, meaning and a life of its own.

Their projects range from investigation projects, projects for private clients, public buildings and interiors and housing projects. For their work with the interior for Aesop Bibliotekstan they where awarded the price of Swedish Form – Design S.

"We are in Praise of Shadows, in that which is not burnt by the Midday Sun, in that which lasts. In the Shadows there is time, there is the subtle, the slow, the small gestures, the private and the intimate grows. In the Shadows the World ages beautifully. Shadows are where the sun shines."
