Nexø School music room and more
In the lobby, we are met with a veritable explosion of giant flowers. They are inspired by Swedish folk embroidery and painted with rollers, which were used by the Gernes team as brushes. The ceiling is warm yellow, and the floor is endowed with a star decoration in linoleum. Legs of chairs and tables have been painted turquoise by the car painter.
In the music room the large wall opposite the entrance is adorned with tall stencil-painted flowers, surrounded by a border of green squares. Among the flowers runs the red thread, fastened to painted nails. This motif also appears elsewhere, such as Bygholm Agricultural School and Radar Station Bornholm. The ceiling is pink.
