Svend Jacob Petersen

Designer and co-founder of Spacon

We spoke with Svend, co‑founding partner of Spacon, the Copenhagen‑based studio where 15 designers from different backgrounds collaborate on spatial projects. Spacon’s work is grounded in a clear sense of context: each space or experience is tailored to the people who will use it and to the goals of their collaborators.

The rock sculptures shown in the images were part of the Pedestal exhibition at Other Circle, created by Spacon.

“There’s always a personal touch in anything I’m part of aesthetically – but in my work it’s always measured against the context.”

“Who am I designing a space or an experience for, and what is the collaborator trying to achieve with the project?”
