Louise Roe is an innovative interior design brand based in Copenhagen. Created and founded by Louise Roe Andersen, the eponymous collection explores impeccable designs through a lens of artistic intuition and a deep understanding of generational craftsmanship.
Inspiration is gathered from a myriad of sources, both historical and present day, local and international. With her sensory apparatus wide open, Louise captures and filters her environments, constantly absorbing the shapes, hues and details of the city, the nature and the people passing through. The poetry of a dancer’s pirouette, the alluring brutality of a parking lot column, the lines of a plaster balustrade on a Copenhagen roof: the possibilities are limitless. Being fond of simple, yet detailed shapes, Louise feels at home in the spheres between early art deco, 30s Brutalism and Bauhaus minimalism.
The entire collection embraces honest materials like glass, ceramic, textile, stone and oak. Louise values her close relationship with skillful craftspeople whom she both challenges and trusts. These relations are built around a shared yearning for high-quality artisanship and collaborative efforts.
‘It often begins with a need or a question. Should it be an accent piece or a complementing object – a solo performer or a backing group member? I enjoy employing wax to model different shapes, often because a tiny dent with the thumb can make all the difference. It’s almost like a balancing act: a small choir of corresponding colour and shape.’
