Don't go grey is a creative collaboration between Amalie Bo and Netter Andresen, who have a combined 30 years of experience with product and textile design as well as visual communication.
Don't go grey operates with design in the cross section between art and architecture. Both designers graduated from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Design, and combine their creative skills with dimensioned plan solutions, adding subtle sensuality and narrative to each unique project. An interior space can influence your mood, energy, creativity and productivity, which they want to stimulate and do so professionally, whether on a small or large scale.
The commission at Hillerød Music School involved injecting new life into the dull practice rooms and replacing worn-out blinds and superfluous equipment with appealing and unifying design. At the same time, the acoustics needed enhancing and integrating with the new interiors.
Each room given its own identity
At the music school, where the pupils spend about half an hour at a time in the practice rooms, one of the designers’ aims was that each pupil should quickly feel inspired and enthused to play their respective instruments with complete concentration. The pupils needed to leave the school feeling uplifted and with a desire to return. At the music school in Hillerød, Don't go grey has extended the building’s visual identity from outdoor signage to indoor acoustic regulation and decoration. Inside and out, distinct materials and colour combinations play a key role. Every room has its own particular musical function. The idea was to create a unique feeling in each room, which would then clearly set the mood.
