Not long ago I stumbled across the most “magical floors in the world” which literally stopped me in my tracks. Marbelized wood flooring so vibrantly breathtaking that it has taken the design world by storm. Each individual board hand-colored by artistic visionary, Pernille Shedker Hansen. She has singularly created an art form that is both organic and somewhat “supernatural,” and undeniably beautiful.
Pernille holds a BA in Textile Design from Designskolen Kolding, her creative studio is nestled somewhere against Copenhagens coastline. Inside this magical place exists a collaboration with “natural phenomenon” evident in each piece of boldly patterned wood. Inspired by traditional craft techniques she has literally transformed pieces of wood into psychedelic freeform artwork. Turning marbelized wood flooring into works of artistic expression.
Magical and marbelous…
Each board has captured the moment when fierce colors are floated on top of the water, a process inspired by Suminagashi, a Japanese method of marbling paper with water & ink. (I’ve included a video of Pernille at work, and it’s truly something that you need to watch in order to really appreciate the creative process).
“IT IS A PROCESS OF REPETITION, AND LETTING GO OF PREDEFINED STRUCTURES TO CREATE FORMATIONS OF ITS OWN RIGHT.” – Pernille Snedker Hansen
I’ve long been fascinated with marbling in wallpapers, but to see it actually applied to flooring…well…I’m almost at a loss for words (and I’m sure you will be too). If you can’t afford to commission Pernille to do flooring, she also sells art & in June of this year she released a widely anticipated line of furniture. Thankfully, there are now other ways to bring a little of Pernille’s magic into your home. You can see more of her work here, and, yes, this is what happens when wood meets marble…
