The Telegraph College
The Telegraph College has been renovated to become a modern student residence with attractive communal areas. Custom-made furniture was supplied to support the atmosphere and vision of the dormitory.
New dormitory with an attractive location in Ballerup, Denmark. The 262 studio apartments house students from the University of Copenhagen, DTU, CPH Business ect. The Telegraph College focuses on attractive common areas that are suitable for activities and social gatherings between the residents.
We received drawings from Inventarland and their external architects from Over Byen and, in collaboration with them, were able to produce a series of custom-made furniture for their project.
Third.space was asked by Inventarland if we could help them produce custom-made furniture for the common areas on Telegrafkollegiet's 5 floors. The task consisted of different types of furniture and screening for "hang out spots", study environments, and communal laundry.
For a project of this nature with many residents, it was also very important, that there was a strong focus on fire safety.
Over Byen architects provided the drawings, which we used to have the furniture manufactured.
Plywood was to be used throughout the design with its modern and bright look. The cushions were upholstered with gray, recycled wool. The wool consists of 70% recycled wool fibers - leftover materials from garment manufacturing or ether wool products that have been recycled. This reduces CO2 emissions due to lower water consumption among other things.
To withstand the use of many people, the fabric has a high abrasion resistance of as much as 150,000 martinedale.
As a detail, several of the furniture pieces have integrated power sockets to meet the students' need for power for telephones and computers when they use the common areas. This makes it easier for them to gather for studies and relaxation in their free time in the areas outside the apartments.
The room dividers are also made of plywood and give a nice division of the rooms.
For us, it has been very important to deliver solid products with a nice finish - which of course lives up to the requirements specifications that were for fire safety. Therefore, the plywood is lacquered with fireproof lacquer and the foam in the cushions is made of fire retardant materials.
