"The idiom of the office has its roots in the Scandinavian tradition. We constantly attempt to develop the modern minimalist idiom into a special expression involving a poetic sensuality as well as narratives and symbolism. The logical, simplicity and precision becomes rulers from plan to detail.
We wish to create distinct experiences of space and material whether it being through a robust coarseness or elegant delicacy. Dynamics and variability in the experience of space are among others created through lightweight mobile elements."
