Designer Helle Mardahl has turned her Copenhagen showroom into a messy home for a "shopaholic", displaying her glass designs on an unmade bed and in a lonely dining room during 3 Days of Design.
The installation, called The Grand Suite, came about as Mardhal wanted to display her pieces in a way that was completely different to how the brand has shown its pieces before.

"This year we thought, instead of producing way too much stuff that we don't need, we will do a scenery of something unexpected, unpredictable and unbelievable; a little bit weird," Mardahl told Dezeen at the opening event.
To do so, Mardahl came up with the character of a woman living on her own in a grand suite, who is shown hiding under her sheets in a messy apartment. One room shows the character hiding under the bedsheets
The brand described her as "a traveler ? an adventurous woman residing in the most luxurious grand suite. Treated like the queen of the castle, she enjoys her privacy yet desires company".
Mardahl scattered the character's belongings around the apartment ? including a number of the brand's products.
"It made a lot of sense to make The Grand Suite for this overwhelming woman, who lives in a dream world but she's on her own, and she's a little bit of a shopaholic," Mardahl explained.
