S M K – N AT I O N A L G A L L E R Y O F D E N M A R K
The largest art museum in Denmark with the nation’s largest art collection,
approximately 260,000 works of art. Originally founded as the royal collection,
the works were given to the people in the mid-1800s.
The National Gallery was chosen due to its vast, marble-covered spaces that
are timeless, modern and reflect the design ethos behind Rezas’ R collection.
KOGT VED MARITIME SCHOOL
A stunningly beautiful red brick building on the edge of Svendborg Sound
originally built for a merchant, it was transformed into a maritime school in
1943. The story goes that the merchant’s wife thought it was too small. As
of now, the building is unoccupied, but the amazing interior with dark, warm
wood and expansive rooms remains. The location was chosen due to its storied past and inviting spaces that came to life with the addition of Rezas’ rugs.
