ABOUT KALKERIET
Kalkeriet Contemporary is an independent gallery in Malmö, in the Greater Copenhagen region. Its programme brings together fine art photography, collectible and contemporary design, and artist-designed rugs.
Through exhibitions and collaborations, the gallery explores the practices of artists and designers and the relationships between image, object and material. This curatorial approach informs its work with collectors, architects and interior designers internationally.

Artists and designers are central to Kalkeriet’s programme. Photographs, furniture, objects and textiles are presented with attention to the ideas and processes that shape each practice.
Authorship, material, craftsmanship and edition inform the gallery’s selection. By placing works from different disciplines in dialogue, each presentation offers new ways to consider their form, meaning and context.
Kalkeriet’s exhibition programme brings contemporary art and collectible design into dialogue through solo and group exhibitions in Malmö and presentations in conjunction with international art and design events.
The gallery also collaborates with museums, lending works for exhibitions and working with curators and institutional teams on projects that extend beyond individual loans.
Past presentations include Andy Warhol: The Marilyn Maquette and Henzel Studio Collaborations at PDC Design Gallery in West Hollywood, in conjunction with Frieze Los Angeles. In April 2026, Figure and Surface brought together fine art photography and collectible design at Kalkeriet Contemporary in Malmö, with selected works also presented online to coincide with miart in Milan.
Kalkeriet’s Advisory Board contributes perspectives from contemporary art, collectible design and interiors to the gallery’s programme, collaborations and projects. Calle and Åsa Henzel are members of the board, working alongside other advisers.
Through Henzel Studio, they bring experience of close collaboration with more than 40 blue-chip artists and estates, alongside work with specialist makers on international design projects. This exchange informs the gallery’s curatorial direction and its approach to collections and interiors.
Located in Malmö’s Davidshall district, part of Greater Copenhagen, Kalkeriet provides a setting in which to encounter the gallery’s programme in person. Photographs, furniture, objects and rugs are presented together, allowing close consideration of their scale, materials and construction.
Private viewings are arranged by appointment.
