DOWN TO A FINE ART

Paintings and an eclectic mix of furniture live in harmony at an apartment that is both home and studio to Cecilie Hertz and her family
DOWN  TO A FINE ART

PERFECTLY IMPERFECT Most of this pottery collection is made of Bornholm clay and was discovered by Cecilie and her husband on a visit to the Danish island in the Baltic Sea. The dining chairs are a mixture of Tolix, Wegner and Arne Jacobsen's Ant.

The idea behind Atelier Absalon is to present art in home spaces so potential buyers can more easily relate to the works and imagine how they can be a part of a home. Visual artist Cecilie Hertz has always painted, it has always been a part of her being. However, the organic forms she loves to paint come from her research studies, specialising in the immune system. Through this, Cecilie has looked at countless micro-organisms under a microscope and these forms have inspired the works she makes today.

While on maternity leave, Cecilie took the plunge and opened Atelier Absalon, a decision that balances the role of motherhood and businesswoman in the best possible way. It’s a way of life that is working perfectly right now, with a daughter who is two-and-a-half years old. “I will start my PhD later, but right now it’s the most wonderful life, I could dream of,” says Cecilie.

A HUNTER AND A COLLECTOR Cecilie enjoys hunting for treasures and the large House Doctor glass and iron display cabinet is crammed to near breaking point with found objects. The old floral armchair was bought at an auction.
