KABRIC Ivory
Room for Ideas
In a former Fiat factory on Islands Brygge (Copenhagen), Sune Palner has created an office for AMGMT that also accommodates meetings, dinners and new ideas. The 160 m² space is defined by high ceilings, daylight, irregular angles and industrial materials. DETALE’s KABRIC in the colour Ivory covers the columns and beams; the remaining walls are smoothly painted in the same tone. Colour brings the room together, while an almost imperceptible change in texture gives the structure depth.
“DETALE gives our space enough calm to let the ideas make noise.”

A Space That Can Change
The office serves as a workplace, meeting place and social setting for the team, artists, clients and collaborators. Furniture can be moved as the day’s activities change. Sune let the former factory’s scale, skylights and raw details guide the design. Concrete, brushed and galvanised steel, stone, glass and several kinds of wood form a restrained yet varied material palette. Among these harder surfaces, KABRIC introduces a tactile quality. It gives the eye a place to rest and allows the other materials to appear more clearly.

A Difference Revealed by Light
Ivory is bright without feeling clinical. The KABRIC on columns and beams is so close in colour to the smooth paint on the walls that the difference emerges only as light moves through the room. The matte finish follows the rhythm of the structure rather than becoming a separate decorative feature. For Sune, the office should express both creativity and precision through its proportions and materials. This understated variation leaves room for activity and ideas while keeping the space visually calm.
“The office needs to change character throughout the day. The materials give it a calm setting in which to do that.”
