TAILIEUCHUNG - The functional and the aesthetic meet in harmony

In the airport’s new rest lounge on the first floor of Terminal 2, twenty or so durable easy chairs have been set up. They were designed by Thomas Alken and occupational therapist Merete Labriola and produced by Hansen and Sørensen A/S. Their name is Take Off. The most ingenious feature of the chair is that no matter what your height or bulk, you sit so comfortably that you cannot help but rest for a while, or even take a nap, before you continue your journey. The chair is fitted with wings that give a feeling of privacy even when in the midst of other resting travellers. The footstool is about the. | The functional and the aesthetic meet in harmony More than 50 000 people pass through Copenhagen Airport every day. We believe that a clean and relaxed airport with beautiful architecture top-quality design and artistic decoration together with appealing art that has a surprise or two to offer help to give passengers that sense of well-being that makes for an enjoyable start to a journey. A piece of art in an airport has difficult conditions to contend with. It has to compete with signs advertisements and tempting shop windows for the attention of the passenger. It will never receive the undivided attention of the observer it would in a gallery or private home. It must be an integral part of the architectural surroundings and yet be visible enough and demonstrative enough to catch the eye of the preoccupied passenger rushing past it. On the other hand what art gallery can guarantee the artist an audience of 50 000 people - every day Jens-Flemming Sorensen s fountain in Pier C shown on the cover of this guide is an excellent example of the unique opportunities an airport can offer an artist. We wanted an artist-designed fountain in our airport. The artist presented a proposal and as the dialogue between the artist and the airport progressed limitations and new possibilities of his original concept emerged. We wanted to make the piece a central element of the building and give it a function as a meeting point or waiting area. So it was made in beautiful Italian travertine marble with a height that was just right for the gaze of the seated passenger and a piece of art assumed a specific purpose. But introducing function means wear and tear -and the clear and ever-present danger of bumps from the sharp metal corners of baggage trolleys had to be avoided. Together with the artist we decided to put a bronze fender around the fountain. Now the fountain is just one example the airport has to offer of how the functional and the aesthetic can meet in harmony. Niels Boserup .
