ABOUT
TABLEAU IS A MULTIDISCIPLINARY CREATIVE STUDIO AND EXHIBITION SPACE. FOUNDED IN COPENHAGEN IN 2018 BY FLORAL DESIGNER JULIUS VÆRNES IVERSEN, TABLEAU WORKS TO DECONSTRUCT ESTABLISHED IDEAS OF ART AND DESIGN THROUGH A MULTIDISCIPLINARY AND COLLABORATIVE APPROACH.
ALONGSIDE THE EXHIBITION SPACE AND CONCEPT STORE, TABLEAU OFFERS FLORAL DESIGN, OBJECT DESIGN, SET DESIGN, INTERIOR DESIGN, AND ARCHITECTURAL INSTALLATIONS. OUR APPROACH IS TO SOURCE COLLABORATORS GLOBALLY IN ORDER TO BREAK DOWN BARRIERS BETWEEN ART AND DESIGN. PAST WORK INCLUDES PROJECTS FOR TOM DIXON, VOGUE, COPENHAGEN CONTEMPORARY, AMONGST OTHERS.
EXHIBITION SPACES
TABLEAU CONCEPT STORE, LOCATED IN ST. STRANDSTRÆDE IN CENTRAL COPENHAGEN, SHOWCASES A CONSTANT ROTATION OF CURATED FUNCTIONAL ART OBJECTS AND FLOWERS. WE FOCUS ON BRINGING FORTH EMERGING TALENT FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD, AND ALL WORKS ARE FOR SALE IN THE PHYSICAL STORE AND ONLINE ON TABLEAU-CPH.COM.
TABLEAU STUDIO IS THE WORKSPACE FROM WHERE WE OPERATE TABLEAU AND WHERE OUR TEAM OF DESIGNERS WORK ON A DAILY BASIS. SIMULTANEOUSLY, THE STUDIO ALSO FUNCTIONS AS A SHOWROOM WHERE WE HOST COLLABORATIVE EXHIBITIONS, PERMANENT AND TEMPORARY, EVENTS AND PRODUCT LAUNCHES, WHILE ALSO SHOWCASING PRODUCTS DESIGNED INHOUSE. THE STUDIO AND SHOWROOM IS OPEN BY APPOINTMENT.
JULIUS VÆRNES IVERSEN
FOUNDER AND OWNER OF TABLEAU, JULIUS VÆRNES IVERSEN, STARTED TABLEAU IN 2018 IN ST. KONGENSGADE IN CENTRAL COPENHAGEN. WITH A CORE MISSION OF CHALLENGING ESTABLISHED IDEAS OF THE INSTITUTIONAL ART WORLD, VÆRNES IVERSEN APPROACHES PROJECTS MULTIDICIPLINARY, COLLABORATIVELY AND WITH A WISH TO BRING FORTH EMERGING TALENT. VÆRNES IVERSEN CONTINUALLY STRIVES TO MAKE PLACE FOR A NEW DIRECTION OF AESTHETICS, A DIRECTION WHERE BOUNDARIES BETWEEN DISCIPLINES ARE BROKEN DOWN AND WHERE NEWER CREATIVE DISCIPLINES SUCH AS FLORAL DESIGN, FUNCTIONAL ART, AND SPATIAL DESIGN LIVES IN THE SAME REALM AND CAN BE CONSIDERED AS ART.
STILL BEING A HANDS-ON PART OF THE STUDIO, VÆRNES IVERSEN WORKS DAY TO DAY AS THE CREATIVE DIRECTOR, AN EXHIBITION CURATOR, FLORAL-, SPATIAL-, AND OBJECT DESIGNER, WHILE ALSO SOURCING NEW TALENTS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD. IN HIS WORK, VÆRNES IVERSEN IS FOCUSED ON THE BROADER UNDERSTANDING OF SPACE AND HOW OBJECTS, BOTANICALS, AND OTHER MATERIALS IMPACT OUR EXPERIENCE, AND WISHES TO BROADEN THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE OBSERVER.
