In my thesis project, 2024, Konstfack’s Bachelor program in Interior Architecture and Furniture Design, I present a hypothetical proposal for transforming a space in Årsta torg in Stockholm. Through research, site analysis, and examination of Årsta torgs’s color palette, I have created the project Kackel och Kulör. Many spaces in urban areas are facing a transformation, where commercial businesses are affected by new trends and rent out their spaces to new types of tenants. I have chosen Årsta torg to propose a transformation that I believe many similar places in the city could benefit from. Kackel och Kulör is a design concept for a space in Årsta torg. The concept revolves around the production of egg tempera paint, an ancient painting technique that involves mixing eggs, linseed oil, pigment, and water. With hens as honored guests and egg producers, this place is created for the local community to gather in the color workshop, the hen coops, or the small shop. The space is for those who want to learn to make their own paint, repaint their furniture, feed the hens, or buy painting supplies and eggs. The presence of the hens contributes to a local cycle and creates a vibrant hub for creativity and community engagement in Årsta. Inspired by the color scheme of the square, a colorful space for knowledge exchange is created, contributing to a local and social cycle in Årsta torg.
