thoughtfully curated surface design. For File Under Pop, the project was about finding a balance between furniture, light and texture to create an atmosphere that enhanced the house’s individual narratives and the overall experience of its spaces.


‘Surface design can be key in creating meaningful connections across rooms and between objects, interiors, artworks, and the people inhabiting a space,’ comments Josephine Akvama Hoffmeyer, founder, File Under Pop. ‘At Gubi House London, we put dynamics and durability at the heart of our

work. We tried to challenge and support the existing elements, architecture and furniture with our surface design, to create a spatial experience with honesty, soul, and a connection to real life lived in the space.’ File Under Pop has paid meticulous attention to the interplay of surfaces in the space. Hand-painted fabrics in forest green, interspersed with stripes of tangerine, adorn the walls of the ground-floor ‘dining room’, for example, creating an appealing contrast with the grey smoothness of the custom-made lava- stone countertops and fire surrounds. In the bathrooms and kitchens, File Under Pop’s clay tiles are complemented by custom-made limestone basins.


For Hoffmeyer, the result of the


collaboration evokes a landscape painting. She says: ‘File Under Pop created the large surfaces and general textures, while Gubi is carefully placing the shapes and sculptures that add volume and create context of the story in the picture. Together, we are creating a three- dimensional painting and a powerful visual and emotional experience for people visiting Gubi House London.’


Schmidt takes a similarly artistic perspective, crediting ‘a truly extraordinary duet.’ Together, the two brands have transformed a historic property in Charterhouse Square into an immersive vision of contemporary townhouse living: File Under Pop has set the stage for Gubi’s portfolio of iconic contemporary design.
