ABOUT US
We provide consultancy across interior and lighting design, tailored to the unique scale and purpose of each project. Our process is collaborative and detail-driven, including space planning, site coordination, and specialized lighting for facades, heritage buildings, and public spaces. Every project is shaped through close dialogue with clients and technical partners to ensure outcome is refined and versatile.
Light is integral to how we approach design. From early concept stages, we consider daylight, material behavior, and night-time presence to ensure lighting enhances well-being, performance, and identity. We also consult on larger-scale lighting strategies in collaboration with experts in dark infrastructure and urban policy.
At its core, VC Design is about creating spaces that are considered, responsive, and quietly expressive - where light, material, and function come together with precision and purpose.
Vision
We focus on designing the intangible - elements involving light and atmosphere that shape how a space is experienced. Light, in particular, allows us to reveal materials, guide movement, and shape emotion.
Our vision is to create spaces that are thoughtful, sustainable, and easy to connect with - both visually and emotionally.
Mission
We create spaces by integrating interior architecture and lighting with thoughtful attention to detail, atmosphere, and function. Our approach blends spatial planning, material understanding, and layered lighting to shape environments that feel distinct, comfortable, and well-composed.
With a strong focus on sustainability and dark sky–friendly solutions, we aim to design spaces that are both environmentally responsible and deeply attuned to human experience.

Furniture Design - Bound by Form
This table design examines at the balance between being distinct and being together by employing two asymmetrical wood slabs connected by rope. The form reflects the idea that even fragmanted elements can come together with purpose. Through its raw materiality and subtle joinery, the piece expresses ambivalence—held together in balance, with simplicity and quiet strength.

Reviving Valby Tingsted After Dark
This project reimagines the night-time experience of Valby Tingsted, a historic square in Copenhagen, by introducing a subtle, interactive lighting scheme. Focused around the existing circle of stone blocks, the design evokes the warmth of a campfire through low-level lighting and motion sensors. It enhances visibility, atmosphere, and social engagement while respecting the site's heritage and aligning with the city’s lighting master plan.
