The Dinesen Apartment by David Thulstrup in Brooklyn, New York offers an immersive expression of Danish design — a space where architecture, material and furniture exist in quiet dialogue.
Created as a temporary residence and showroom for Dinesen, Denmark’s renowned maker of timber flooring, the two-level apartment moves beyond the conventions of a traditional display space. Instead, visitors encounter Dinesen oak in the context of everyday life — across floors, staircases, wall cladding and bespoke joinery — allowing the warmth and tactility of the material to unfold naturally within a residential setting.
Against this serene architectural backdrop sits a curated selection of furniture designed by Thulstrup himself for Brdr. Krüger, including the ARV Dining Chair and ARV Lounge Chair. Crafted with quiet precision, the pieces reflect the same architectural language found throughout the apartment — organic forms, refined proportions and beautifully expressed joinery rooted in Danish cabinetmaking tradition.
Alongside the ARV collection sits the Font Bold Dining Chair with Arm, also designed by Thulstrup. With its sculptural silhouette and confident presence, the chair introduces a slightly bolder graphic expression while maintaining the warmth and craftsmanship that define contemporary Scandinavian design.
Together, the furniture and interiors create a cohesive spatial narrative — one that celebrates the enduring values of Danish design: material honesty, human scale and craftsmanship designed to stand the test of time.
More than a showroom, the Dinesen Apartment functions as a living space and gathering point for the design community — a place where visitors can walk barefoot across oak floors, experience the furniture in use and engage with the tactile beauty of Scandinavian design.
