The collaborative exhibition Ariake x Parachilna: Apartamento Secreto / Himitsuno Kakurega presents a thoughtfully curated exploration of how design can foster meaningful living through intentional materiality and spatial harmony. Housed within a discreet Copenhagen apartment, the installation brings together Japanese furniture brand Ariake’s minimalist, human-centered designs with Spanish lighting manufacturer Parachilna’s sculptural luminaires. In the space, a dialogue is facilitated between structural form and atmospheric illumination.
Stylist Tine Daring’s residential approach transforms the third-floor venue into an immersive environment where visitors experience these elements as part of a cohesive, livable space rather than a conventional showroom display. The inclusion of complementary objects—from Origin Made’s artisan pieces to Gen Taniguchi’s washi paper sculptures—deepens the narrative of craftsmanship, while Sera Helsinki’s textiles add tactile warmth.
This synthesis and focus on meaningful living invites contemplation on how design philosophies from distinct cultures can converge to shape intimate, reflective interiors.
