In a classic Frogner building in Oslo, a full renovation has given an old apartment a new life. The original details were kept, new ones were added, and above it all hangs a Tube 101 Clear Ice.
Old details, new life
The apartment, about 100 square metres, needed a thorough upgrade. The renovation kept what gives a period apartment its character: the ceiling rose, the fireplace, the large windows and the high ceilings. The original herringbone parquet in the living room was sanded back to life, and new mouldings frame the rooms.
Warm greige and calm blues
The living room and kitchen are painted in a warm greige, with dark wood in the kitchen. In the bedrooms and hallway, the colours turn to soft blues, paired with light oak.
The chandelier
Tube 101 Clear Ice has 101 glass tubes with an ice-like texture that catches the light and spreads it softly across the room. Seen from below, the tubes form a star. It can hang from a chain or be mounted close to the ceiling, so it suits both high period ceilings and lower rooms.
