Muuto expands Copenhagen offices with new pastel-coloured workspaces
Danish furniture brand Muuto has expanded its existing Copenhagen offices, creating a showroom and a series of versatile workspaces decked out in pastel hues.
The headquarters are set above the bustling shopping street of Østergade in central Copenhagen, and plays host to Muuto's offices and showroom.
Measuring 1,400 square metres, the three-level space provides a larger home for the brand, which had previously been operating out of only a single floor in the building.
"When we upstairs it was really crowded, we were sitting on top of each other," design director Christian Grosen told Dezeen.
"It was really hard to even find a desk in the showroom area because people were sitting there and working. But it was a really nice atmosphere, and we actually wanted to keep a little bit of that."
"It talks back to the brand and its roots in the Scandinavian design tradition ? we're a very honest brand. We don't want to be on this pedestal, we want to show the reality [of the brand] and how it works in real life," added marketing director Line Brockmann Juhl.
When it came to organising the floor plan, Grosen and Juhl first spoke with different members of staff to find out what layout would be most be beneficial to their way of working.
For example, those in the design department needed extra space for looking at materials and making prototypes, while those in finance with more desk-based tasks asked to be in a quieter area with less foot traffic.
