Michael Dansk
Michael Schneider – known to many in the creative world as Michael Dansk – brings his distinctive eye to design, branding and curation. As CMO at PP Møbler and the founder of à mon avis – a Copenhagen-based pop-up gallery platform – he has spent the past decade working with visual identity and creative direction for some of the most respected names in Danish design. Now, for the first time, he opens the doors to his newly renovated apartment in Nørrebro, sharing a curated selection of art in collaboration with The Poster Club.
Michael has just moved into the apartment following a full-scale renovation. Set within a building dating back to the early 1900s, the space balances historical detail with a more contemporary mood. “I think it’s important to stay true to the original architecture as much as possible, but without being too nostalgic about it,” he says. The result is both composed and expressive – a home where clean lines, custom pieces and collected objects come together in a way that feels lived-in and intentional.
Michael’s interior style reflects this same sense of balance. “On one hand, I really appreciate a sleek, sculptural aesthetic – on the other, I’m a bit of a collector,” he says. The apartment holds traces of both: colour, materiality and personal objects layered with care. His art collection plays a central role; a growing, considered selection that has followed him from one home to the next. “To me, a good piece of art should create a story, or shift something in the room. It shouldn’t just decorate – it should engage.”
His Curated by selection reflects that ethos. Michael was especially drawn to the colour palette of his chosen art prints: bold yet refined, with a subtle nod to the 1970s. The works are paired with coloured passepartouts that echo other tones in the apartment, creating quiet points of tension and harmony. His favourite piece is the Wall Object Inner Sun by Anne Nowak: “Her way of working with colour is quite magical. It really draws me to it and has a powerful expression, while still being sculptural and cool,” he says. “I think this little dash of sun will end up moving around the apartment with me.”
