Designer and real estate developer Rasmus Larsson discovered Rentemestervej 43 back in 1999, when he and his two business partners were on the hunt for a new location for their design company. An old, dirty fitting factory smeared with oil and grease was what they ended up buying, calling for him to grab a paint brush, spray gun and put on his working clothes. Trying to stay true to the industrial heritage when renovating the building, he decided to maintain the old windows, beechwood floors, outdoor grafitti and other original architectural features - an approach that Rasmus practices both as a designer and a real estate developer. Focusing on circularity in terms of repair and recycling in some of his design productions, he points to a unique signature lamp in the room whose materials are reused. This he finds great value in.
what the archive is about
The Living Archive explores the potential of (post)industrial heritage to transform production in our cities. We collect stories with participatory heritage methods. The nodes for the local collection efforts are Fab City Hubs (FCH). The collection has been carefully assembled by FCH teams who have been learning about, co-creating and applying participatory heritage-making approaches, emotion networking methodology, oral history principles and creative perspective-taking. Select tags and categories to filter stories in the archive below. Explore their connections in the network graph.
