Pernilla's studio in Palma – where microcement meets Flat Oak

When lifestyle and interior photographer Pernilla Danielsson, based in Palma, Mallorca, contacted us, she did so with a clear vision. She was going to renovate her studio – a creative workspace where she both photographs and meets clients – and she was looking for something unique. Something that felt unseen, characterful, and personal.

She wanted to build a kitchen and a larger shelf section for props and styling objects, and the whole idea was based on everything feeling built-in with the help of microcement and our oak fronts.

"I prefer Flat Oak with the grip strip, it feels a bit more unique and less seen in combination with microcement. But I have an idea to build up a shelf section with storage underneath, and would like to sync it with the same fronts. That’s where I’ll have my prop station, and it can also be used as a nice photo surface."
– Pernilla, photographer based in Palma, Mallorca.

We loved the idea immediately. A project in a creative environment, on an island we ourselves love so much – and also something completely new for us to showcase. We sell our fronts all over Europe and have customers in many countries, but this was the first time we got the chance to be part of a photo studio in Mallorca. And with Pernilla's eye for aesthetics, we knew it would turn out well.

The kitchen – a built-in feel with microcement and Flat Oak

Pernilla wanted the kitchen to “disappear into” the architecture, rather than be experienced as standalone modules. By building the frame in microcement and then mounting our Flat Oak doors, she achieved that clean, seamless feeling that works just as well in photos as in reality.

The oak-clad doors become a warm contrast to the soft, powdery surfaces in microcement – perfect for an environment where light, color, and texture play leading roles.

Shelf and prop station – the heart of the studio

In the large shelving section, Pernilla wanted to combine function and aesthetics. An open upper part for props and styling objects, and hidden storage below – all clad in the same Flat Oak to create a cohesive feeling.

Since the shelf also needed to function as a photo surface, a solution was needed that was both practical and beautiful. Here we settled on a construction that provides stability, flexibility, and the right atmosphere for her stylish visual language.
