Nanna Lagerman & Nina Warnolf have designed the offices of the IKEA Creative Hub located in Malmö, Sweden.
Originally built as a bank office and apartments in 1908, Nanna Lagerman & Nina Warnolf have transformed the fourth floor of the building into the IKEA Creative Hub to contribute to every day life in an office space that welcomes everyone’s creativity in a new way. They wanted to design an office that makes you feel at home and a space were every room should have its own character, feeling, mood, colors, style, and expression similar to that of a fairy tale with rooms as chapters on its own. All the rooms work together cohesively, but plays its own individual music.
The space feels warm and welcoming and displays home-furnishing prowess – both central values to IKEA’s strong identity. The design also puts sustainability at the forefront concentrating on a healthy, green, and caring environment. The offices cater to different styles of working such as collaborative, focused, brainstorm workshopping, complete privacy, etc. There are also features that allow employees to unplug, relax, cocoon, and reflect.
