Dinesen, Denmark's leading manufacturer of high-end wooden flooring, proudly announces the opening of the Dinesen Apartment by David Thulstrup in Brooklyn, New York—a temporary showroom and immersive space designed by acclaimed Danish architect David Thulstrup. The apartment will be open until February 2026, offering visitors a unique opportunity to experience Dinesen wood in an intimate and beautifully curated residential setting.

Located across the 1st and 2nd floors of 144 Vanderbilt Avenue, a thoughtfully designed building by SO—IL, and developed by Tankhouse, the project highlights the seamless integration of architecture, interiors and craftsmanship. Tankhouse’s contractor and developer role ensured the building became a complementary canvas for presenting Dinesen in a warm, homely context.

At the heart of the space is Dinesen Layers Oak in the Classic variant, chosen for its calm elegance and engineered stability. Seamless surfaces unify the interior, while select uses of Layers HeartOak add depth and character with natural cracks held by oak butterfly joints. The wood extends to cladding and a bespoke staircase in Layers Oak, a built-in bookcase in solid Oak Classic and a solid HeartOak headboard, creating a warm, continuous visual language.

Every element of the apartment reflects Dinesen's dedication to quality and craft. The Danish carpentry duo Ocular installed the flooring and carried out the meticulously crafted joinery details, from the half-turn staircase, wall-claddings and doors to the built-in furniture. Walls are painted in Titian, Sand and Suede, developed by David Thulstrup for Ble o. Their nuanced pigments complement the warmth of the wood and the natural light. Softness and texture are thoughtfully layered throughout the apartment, with rugs, drapery, upholstery, bedwear, blankets, towels and bathmats from Kvadrat, Sahco and Magniberg.

Beyond being a showroom, the Dinesen Apartment by David Thulstrup is a working residence, event space and meeting hub. It invites guests to experience Dinesen in context—light steps on Oak floors, conversations around handcrafted furniture and textures felt with the whole body.

"In an age of hyper-visual design, we wanted to offer something deeper," said Thulstrup. "Spaces should be sensed, not just seen. This apartment is an invitation to connect with materials in a way that photography alone can't convey."
