Sassu Studio is a Copenhagen based design studio, focusing on interior architecture. 

 

The practice emerges from a multidisciplinary, research driven approach, with the human experience at its core.
That is why a lot of the work you see here moves between photography, documentation, essays, drawing, design theory and spatial design. 

 

In the last years, one of my focus areas has been the symbiosis of Nordic cuisine and interior architecture as well as transformation design. I wrote my master thesis on culinary spatial practice, meaning how to design a good room around experiencing food in the light of transformation. Since then, I have designed restaurants in Copenhagen and been involved in the hospitality and design industry. 

 

What matters to me, is to create spaces, that are actually meaningful, liveable and still feel extraordinary on a daily basis. I do not care for trends, my work evolves around timelessness and room for change through the years. I do think a space needs to be more than just aesthetic, it needs to home the needs of those who will spend time there and be able to evolve with them.

I work with creating spatial concepts, colour schemes and narratives. 

​

My speciality is creating an atmosphere, working with what is not directly visible. I love being able to translate ideas, memories, identities and ways of working into what becomes a space. And that is subtle and often in the details, for example in where the pigments of the paint come from, how the light meets the space, what certain objects and furniture symbolise, where, when and how they were produced. All of these elements create a sense of belonging, a patina, a warm feeling in the space. To me it’s all about connecting people, give them something to cherish and recognise and make them feel welcome. 

Feel free to reach out, if you have a thought or question or would just simply like to say hi.

Love,
