This beautiful Copenhagen apartment belongs to architects Justine Bell and Jonas Diernes. Featured in Elle Decoration South Africa earlier this year, I'd love to get hold of a copy as these photos have left me wanting more. Located in the Frederiksberg, the couple have renovated the once run-down apartment themselves. Restoring the original architectural detailing, they have introduced new contemporary additions to provide a strong yet understated contrast. The couple have also incorporated their own stories and heritage. Justine’s South African roots can be seen in details such as the fabrics and lithographs created by artists such as her aunt, South African artist Deborah Bell. Bringing in a number of delicate heirlooms, Jonas’s Danish upbringing is also evident. Featuring natural materials such as wood and stone, the home showcases the pair’s attention to detail and the interaction between origins, functionality and aesthetics.
