Anki Gneib

338-347, 636-647 - Space for personality

Anki Gneib have tried to keep a few large unbroken areas clear to give the rooms unity. She has also tried to give the rooms as many extra surfaces as she could. By spreading their personal belongings around the rooms, guests are able to take possession of them.

The rooms on the sixth and third floors are really two variations on the same theme. The difference between them lies in the colours used. Anki Gneib always tries to work with a connecting idea or recurring theme. For the rooms she designed at Birger Jarl, it was the colours in the delicate curtains that first captured her imagination and led to the two colour schemes she used in the rooms. To give the rooms a calmer feel, Anki Gneib decided to allow the bed, its headboard and the bedside lamp to blend with the dark blue background wall.

ANKI GNEIB trained at Konstfack where she studied interior architecture and furniture design. Her career choices are a product of her desire to work with her hands while trying to solve a definite problem and she now works as an interior architect at WALL TO WALL. As a sideline to this, she also works as a designer.

Anki designed all the fixtures in the rooms, including the desk, luggage rack and the bed’s headboard. The clothes stand was designed by Thomas Eriksson, the pouffe by Johansson Design and the lamps by Matti Klenell. The fabrics come from Kinnasand and the bedside table from Materia. The sixties-style armchair is from Ihreborn and the bedside lamp from Örsjö. The photography is part of a series representing an urban journey and was taken by Anki’s husband, Kristian Pohl.
