Step inside our Aarhus showroom located in the historic landmark building Mejlborg.
Mejlborg was build in 1898 - the exact same year as Dinesen was founded. And as one of Aarhus’ most eye-catching buildings, the Gothic Renaissance style edifice has for more than a hundred years been welcoming visitors entering the city from the northern main way.
Mejlborg Basement
As a new initiative, we chose to transform the showroom’s basement floor into a special archival space of materials open for architects and designers, giving them the opportunity to see, touch and sense different materials in the work with their projects.
The shelves in Mejlborg Basement contain materials from Dinesen, Kvadrat, Petersen Tegl, Sorensen Leather, Zurface, Weber and Surface Cph.
Besides the facilities that invite to be used for exhibitions, workshops, talks and meetings, the basement also contains a special room dedicated to exploring the invisible qualities of materials through sound. Here, we encourage visitors to step in barefoot, close the door and turn off the light to experience a six-minute meditative soundtrack of a 100-year-old Douglas tree being cut down with chainsaws in the Black Forest.
The facilities can be booked at mejlborg-basement.dk
