Construction work continues on the Kvadrat Pavilion in Ebeltoft. The hospitality and conference space is a collaboration with artist Thomas Demand, located in the coastal dunes surrounding Kvadrat's headquarters.
The facades have been completed, including the painted fibreglass ‘hat’ and translucent fibreglass ‘folded paper’ roof, with work now starting on its interiors.
The project is set to be finished in April 2022.
