SCULPTURES & OBJECTS
SCULPTURES & OBJECTS
Being both an actor and an architect, I have a very versatile experience exploring the intersection between body/object and space/architecture.
My sculptural works are often based on the exploration of my African-American ancestry and a kind of alchemical interest in materials that are discarded or despised. My sculptures and ceramic works have been exhibited at Kulturen in Lund (Sweden), Tee Kontor Kiel (Germany) and Storm&Müller Cph. (Denmark).
Refurbishment
Refurbishment
In my work I do refurbishments of entire houses and apartments, as well as conversions of individual rooms.
In the two projects displayed I have moved walls and redefined the identity and functionality of spaces in order to design homes that incorporate both large, dynamic common areas and more defined, private areas too.
Case 1:
Classic gentry apartment.
This apartment was not up-to-date. It had two small, slightly stuffy hallways and to access the balcony one needed to pass through a small chamber. The bedroom was large but was also served as passage to the bathroom and toilet.
I have removed several walls and in doing so one now enters directly into the spacious combined kitchen and living room with direct access to the balcony. The toilet and bathroom have been joint and is accessed through a walk-in closet thus also making the bedroom more private.
Case 2:
Apartment in an old industrial building.
The apartment was originally built as a printing workshop in the 19th century and was converted for housing purposes in the 1990s. It was a two bedroom apartment consisting of a small bedroom and a very large open space living room and kitchen. The main aim of this new refurbishment was to create an extra room and generally upgrade the apartment.
The extra room was created by moving the kitchen into the living room and constructing a separating wall. The place possesses a raw, industrial atmosphere, which is preserved and emphasised with the application of large kitchen tiles and the open wiring etc.
Furniture design
Furniture
I have designed several pieces of furniture, as single projects as well as parts of decorating and refurbishing assignments.
Custom-made rocking chair
The Storm&Müller table is designed i Cooperation with Susanne Storm. We have been focussed on creating a design with simple and beautiful graphic lines and a new take on concrete. For more details, go to the Storm&Müller page in the menu.
CERAMICS
CERAMICS
My ceramic tableware design is inspired by some of the Japanese Raku techniques. Every item is unique and handmade in Copenhagen.
Ceramic pieces by Laura Müller Lab have been exhibited at Kulturen in Lund (Sweden), Tee Kontor Kiel (Germany) and Storm&Müller Cph. (Denmark), and are currently sold from my studio in Copenhagen.
INTERIOR DECORATING & STYLING
INTERIOR DECORATING & STYLING
‘Your house, your rules’
When working with interior design naturally I’m preoccupied with creating beautiful and functional rooms. But in my opinion there is not just one aesthetically ‘correct’ way of decorating.
