EVERYDAY POETICS

A new exhibition by Ark Kollekt is currently on view at the St.Leo House in Copenhagen — a space that mirrors the material sensitivity and timeless craftsmanship embraced by both St. Leo and Ark Kollekt. The exhibition celebrates the tactile beauty of handmade forms and the emotional resonance of everyday objects elevated through design.

Rooted in Scandinavian heritage, St. Leo produces contemporary paint and plaster from natural minerals. Their showroom, housed in a century-old building redesigned by Space Copenhagen, offers a calm, textured setting for the curated works.

The exhibition is open by appointment at the St.Leo House in Nordhavn, Copenhagen until October 15th.

Tuesday 12:00 — 17:00
Wednesday 12:00 — 17:00
Thursday 12:00 — 17:00

All pieces are available for sale on ark-kollekt.com.

To mark the launch of Ark Journal Vol. 14, Ark Kollekt presents a curated exhibition by stylist Pernille Vest, showcasing a thoughtful selection of sculptural objects in wood, clay, glass, and metal. Each piece is chosen for its material presence, quiet strength, and timeless form language. Together, they create a visual dialogue—balancing simplicity with complexity, and rawness with refinement. The exhibition celebrates the tactile beauty of handmade forms and the emotional resonance of everyday objects elevated through design, reflecting St. Leo and Ark Kollekt’s shared values of sensitivity to material and form.
