Since founding his multidisciplinary design studio in 2009, he has worked between Copenhagen and New York, skillfully combining opposites to create results that are as serene as they are sophisticated. His work spans from interior design to product design and  architecture. With a primary focus in functionality and craftsmanship. His latest collaboration with [GANDIABLASCO](https://www.innerspacewa.com.au/brand/gandiablasco/), the Arena Collection, brings these qualities to light, merging Scandinavian design sensibilities with Mediterranean minimalism.  *"With GANDIABLASCO we have tried to combine its minimalist universe with the Danish concept 'hygge', a philosophy of life that encourages you to enjoy simple and relaxed plans with the people you love. We hope that our collection has soul and speaks to people."*  **Søren Rose**  ![Innerspace Instagram Images (85)](https://blog.innerspacewa.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Innerspace%20Instagram%20Images%20(85).jpg?width=482&height=482&name=Innerspace%20Instagram%20Images%20(85).jpg) ## **The Arena Collection, An Ode to Nature and Craft** [ARENA](https://www.innerspacewa.com.au/shop/?_sf_s=arena)is GANDIABLASCO’s first collection of purely organic shapes is inspired by the fluid movement of sand dunes and the harmony between architecture and nature. Its rounded elements, wavy lines and sculptural forms evoke both traditional basketry and the elegant curves of Scandinavian veneer work. Crafted in powder-coated aluminium for strength, versatility and longevity, the [Arena Collection](https://www.innerspacewa.com.au/shop/?_sf_s=arena)includes club armchairs, two-seater sofas, coffee tables and the show-stopping Arena Swing. Each piece is shaped using intricate slat-bending techniques that blend technical ambition with Søren’sskillful Hygge craftsmanship. ***"The swing stands out as the most notable piece in the collection... Its substantial volume, inviting users to sink into its plush cushions and unwind, embodies a warm welcome."*  Søren Rose** The collection is available in all finishes and colours from the GANDIABLASCO catalogue, including premium outdoor fabrics from Kvadrat, Sunbrella and Dedar Milano, as well as sustainable fabrics made from 100% recycled PET.   - ![504150553\_17998121459796010\_8409942280210377774\_n](https://blog.innerspacewa.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/504150553_17998121459796010_8409942280210377774_n.jpg?width=1080&height=1346&name=504150553_17998121459796010_8409942280210377774_n.jpg) Arena Swing - ![Arena Chair ](https://blog.innerspacewa.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Arena%20Chair%20.webp?width=2407&height=1600&name=Arena%20Chair%20.webp) - ![Arena Collection](https://blog.innerspacewa.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Arena%20Collection.webp?width=2560&height=1600&name=Arena%20Collection.webp) - ![Arena Swing - ](https://blog.innerspacewa.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Arena%20Swing%20-%20.webp?width=3200&height=2402&name=Arena%20Swing%20-%20.webp) - ![Arena SWING](https://blog.innerspacewa.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Arena%20SWING.webp?width=2268&height=4032&name=Arena%20SWING.webp) - ![Arena-Swing-WEB-2-2](https://blog.innerspacewa.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Arena-Swing-WEB-2-2.jpg?width=2000&height=2000&name=Arena-Swing-WEB-2-2.jpg) - ![ARena - Close up ](https://blog.innerspacewa.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/ARena%20-%20Close%20up%20.webp?width=3200&height=3938&name=ARena%20-%20Close%20up%20.webp) - ![ARena Swing - Soren](https://blog.innerspacewa.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/ARena%20Swing%20-%20Soren.webp?width=3200&height=4434&name=ARena%20Swing%20-%20Soren.webp) - ![Arena-Club-Chair-WEB-1-2000x1406](https://blog.innerspacewa.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Arena-Club-Chair-WEB-1-2000x1406.jpg?width=2000&height=1406&name=Arena-Club-Chair-WEB-1-2000x1406.jpg)   ## **See It First at Saturday Indesign 2025** **🗓 Saturday 6th September 2025 📍 Innerspace Showroom – Collingwood 🕙 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM** We are so excited to be bringing the [Arena Swing](https://www.innerspacewa.com.au/products/arena-swing-by-gandiablasco/) to our [Collingwood showroom](https://www.innerspacewa.com.au/melbourne-showroom/)for [Saturday Indesign 2025.](https://www.innerspacewa.com.au/saturday-indesign/) Even more special, we’ll be joined by GANDIABLASCO’s CEO, visiting from Spain for the event.
