PS 38
T H E STO RY B E H I N D P S 3 8 PS38 was designed for Aarhus Oliefabrik in 1938 by Palle Suenson’s architectural practice. Aarhus Oliefabrik was a producer of plant oils and wanted this to be ref lected in the interior design of the headquarters and factory. Palle Suenson’s practice found the inspiration for the interior design in the raw materials used at the factory, drawing inspiration from exotic plants such as coconut palms and other rainforest vegetation.
‘The work of the architect should be to combine all significant factors into one harmonious unit, and to add personal artistic expression to this harmonious unit.’ - Palle Suenson
