The feeling of being in harmony with one’s surroundings is key to creating

the right work atmosphere and job satisfaction.

A focus on optimising the environment for employees has always been

vital for a good and effective workplace.

The interior design expresses the company’s image and culture. Lighting

is key to creating the perfect setting for people and their work.

A focus on creating the perfect working environment shows how

effective it is when architecture, furniture and lighting are optimally

combined.

A focus on interior design often leads to improved well-being. Everyone knows what this

feels like, when done successfully. It is very important to remember this. Well-being leads

to efficiency and less sick leave, so considering function, comfort and ambience in interior

design is not only good for the company’s image.

Creativity and attention to detail make the difference

A workplace has to be functional. This is a must, yet it is also the place

people spend the most hours each day. It should therefore also be

comfortable, and have an ambience that stimulates the senses and good

performance. This cannot be achieved through a focus on function

alone. Having good ergonomics and an inspiring and attractive working

environment, allowing the body to function at its best – physically and

mentally – also helps ensure the best performance from each employee.

Jackie Phillip & Co. Copenhagen, Denmark.

Classic quality that reflects elegance and excellence. This is also the guiding

principle for Jackie Phillip & Co’s law firm. Classic with a twist.

The lawyers’ office features simple furnishings, with a minimalism that makes

it possible to add modernity and progressiveness with a few simple touches.

Contrasts meet, and there is a sense for details permeating the interior. The

design is bold, while also maintaining a fine line in terms of classic elegance.

The result is a working environment that radiates a sense for details – quite

appropriate for a law firm.

Kalkbrænderihavnen. Copenhagen, Denmark.

Architect: SpaceLab ApS.

KODA – the organisation which manages the rights of Danish composers.

Exciting new office building with cell offices, but relatively open office landscapes.

SpaceLab ApS architects and interior designers have created a unique and

theme-related office environment in a very creative and inspiring way.

The reception area and cafeteria are linked, and the semi-recessed LP Circle fixture

has been chosen for lighting. The fixture has been painted in a special colour,

which matches the interior design and adds a design connection between the two

open reception and cafeteria areas.

UHA LONDON. London, UK.

Architect: UHA LONDON.

UHA LONDON is an international architecture and design company. When

furnishing their offices, the LP circle fixture was selected due to its flexible

installation options and simple design. The ceiling variations and materials

presented a lighting challenge, and the fact that the LP Circle family can be

recessed, surface-mounted or suspended, and its low design profile, made it

the ideal solution for general lighting in the UHA London offices.

Architect: Kaz Mikajiri/Solid Design Studio.

The head office for Leverages Inc., a Japanese IT and Web

design company, opened in 2014. It is located on the 17th floor

of the new Sinuya Hikarie skyscraper in Tokyo. Natural elements

such as stone, wood and green plants break up the stringent and

imposing black steel and glass ambience. Hard and soft

materials meet, creating an intense, deep atmosphere. A copper

PH Artichoke serves as the focal and gathering point in the room.

Kopenhagen Fur. Glostrup, Denmark.

Architect: Kullegaard Arkitekter.

Kopenhagen Fur is the world’s largest fur auction house and a global centre for fur

trading. It is owned by the Danish mink breeders, and in addition to serving as an

auction house, it is a Danish fashion and design flagship.

Each year the building welcomes the many foreign fur buyers, and it is therefore

important to create the right first impression. Kopenhagen Fur’s attractive and

simple foyer has been aesthetically renovated. The lighting simply features

Munkegaard for general lighting, supplemented by the Wohlert pendant. The latter’s

opal glass surface provides diffuse and comfortable 360° lighting, and is ideal for

illuminating staircases as it looks beautiful from all angles.

Danske Advokater. Copenhagen, Denmark.

Architect: Dorte Mandrup Arkitekter.

A new meeting and conference centre for Danske Advokater has been created in the

former premises of the Valencia nightclub in Vesterbro, Copenhagen. The building was

originally an old public house from 1861, and the renovation has been extensive and ambitious,

showing great empathy for this heritage building. The result is a beautiful and simple lighting

solution featuring Wohlert and LP Circle pendants as general lighting elements. The suspen-

sion of Wohlert pendants in groups and at varying heights is particularly eye-catching and

underscores the room’s dimensions. An elegant example of how lighting can be functional

and comfortable, while also creating ambience. The project was financed by and is owned by

Dreyers Fond.

Munck Asfalt A/S. Nyborg, Denmark.

Architect: Harrebæk Arkitektern A/S.

Just after the motorway swings left on leaving Nyborg, you meet a large dark brick building

on the right. Behind this building lies Harrebæk Arkitekterne A/S of Nyborg.

The building has 3,200 m² of floor space, with 800 m² on each floor. Inside it is divided into

cell offices, open plan offices and meeting rooms around the perimeter. In the centre of the

building is a large atrium with a beautifully designed staircase.

The meeting rooms feature a selective range of Louis Poulsen pendants, and Beat fixtures

have also been used in the general lighting. Fluorescent tube lighting has been installed in the

cell offices, and the Kripton downlight fixture has been used in the top-floor cafeteria area. The

building is illuminated externally using SPR 14 fixtures and LP Nest posts in the parking area.

Realdania. Copenhagen, Denmark.

Interior design: Abita/Birgit Mikkelsen.

Realdania states that its mission is simply to ’improve quality of life and

benefit the common good by improving the built environment’, and it

appears that they follow their own advice.

The choice of the three members of the Enigma family provides

interesting and different lighting in the meeting room. The high suspended

pendants provide the necessary flexibility. Their diffuse light distribution

ensures good, uniform working light in the room. Munkegaard and PH

Snowball in the small meeting room is also a good choice, as the fixtures

unique light design ensures diffuse light distribution, providing good

illumination of the faces of the meeting participants and thus a setting for

good communication.

Aller Media A/S. Copenhagen, Denmark.

Architect: PLH Arkitekter A/S.

In order to gather all its activities at one address, the Aller group built a new and

different office building in the harbour area around Fisketorvet shopping centre. The

building features spectacular architecture, due in part to the master plan worked out

for the area. All buildings must have roofs which angle down towards the centre of

Havneholmen. The building is triangular, with a very sharp 28-degree ’prow’ facing north.

The general lighting in the cafeteria has been supplemented using the LP Charisma Queen

fixture. This has a white reflector, providing soft, comfortable light above the tables.

Beautiful to behold, from inside and out.

Ambience and more ambience. The decision to return depends exclusively on

the enjoyment and experience of the venue. Even if the food is unsurpassed,

there is no doubt that the total experience plays a key role in drawing patrons

Every investment in the visual ambience will therefore influence all the

senses, and not just sight.

The Bird & the Churchkey. Copenhagen, Denmark

Interior design: Nord Gruppen.

Inspired by bars in the East London Shoreditch district, Nord

Gruppen has created a unique bar environment on Gl. Strand in

Copenhagen. An attractive mix of new and old. A lovely ambience

created using items bought at auctions and flea markets. The light-

ing has been carefully chosen to underscore the different styles. Bold

and different, fun and inspiring. The bar specialises in gin and beer,

offering taste experiences to patrons.

Manfreds & Vin, Jægersborggade. Copenhagen, Denmark.

Interior design: Kim Rossen, Christian F. Puglisi and Anders Frederik Steen.

Close and intimate. This is the best way to describe Manfreds & Vin. ’Rustic’

is a good adjective to apply to both the furnishings and food. The business

has developed from a pea soup booth at Roskilde Festival, to a takeaway

restaurant, and finally to a bar selling food and biodynamic wine.

Furnishings and tableware are a ’mix’, in the best sense of the word, and the

lighting was therefore chosen as a cohesive element in the room. The Doo-

Wop pendant has a unique light distribution and the choice of the various

colours and materials emphasises the dedication to a laid-back atmosphere

which permeates Mandfreds & Vin.

The Edge. Oslo, Norge.

Architect: HRTB Arkitekter AS.

Interior design: Anita Resch Interiør.

The Edge restaurant has a perfect location at Tjuvholmen, an extension of Akers

Brygge, between the city and the water in Oslo.

The Edge has been furnished with the aim of creating a pleasant atmosphere in

the high-ceilinged room. The solution chosen was lighting suspended relatively

high up, creating the illusion of a lower ceiling, and hence a more intimate

atmosphere. The use of Aeros’ perforated screens and subdued lighting

reinforces the experience of a floating ceiling. The opal screen ensures soft,

diffuse light, without unpleasant reflections in the tableware or table surfaces.

Restaurant Kadeau. Copenhagen, Denmark.

Architect: Jacob Kornum Arkitekter.

Interior design: Nicolai Nørregaard and Rasmus Kofoed.

Restaurant Kadeau is located among the old buildings in Christianshavn, on Wildersgade. The

small windows tempt passers-by with an inviting ambience. The food takes centre stage,

and the restaurant has rightly earned a Michelin star.

The interior is simple, almost Spartan, but this leads to an amazing experience of the space.

The lighting is general in nature, and specially chosen to match the black tables. The PH

3/2 glass pendant with a black chrome-plated housing was chosen. While this pendant

would normally be hung low over the tables, it has been suspended high up here to provide

general room lighting. This allows greater flexibility with respect to the table positions.

’Pleasant and homely’ are the words that come to mind

when describing the furnishings. And it works. It is a good

idea to book a table, and don’t come only for the burgers.

top-class Danish design icons, with both the white and glass versions of the

PH Artichoke helping set the mood. Patrons seated among Danish furniture

classics enjoy delicate dishes served – of course – on Kählers Keramik porcelain.

Wine shop and bar. As the name suggests, this venue offers a total package.

As with all pleasures in life, there is no doubt that the setting plays a role

in the total experience, and the owners of the Ved Stranden 10 wine bar

fully appreciate this. The venue oozes ambience, supported by the design

furniture, grouped pleasantly and comfortably, and complementing the old

wine shop in the corner to good effect. The lighting is low and grouped,

comprising mainly table and floor lamps.

Enomania. Copenhagen, Denmark.

Architect: Ole Drachmann.

You can easily spend DKK 45,000 on a bottle wine if you want to, as many of Enomania’s

patrons are connoisseurs who know a lot about wine.

The bar often hosts blind tasting events, where participants have to guess the wine, the year

and where it was produced. Good lighting is therefore important, as the wrong light could

distort the wine hues and potentially confuse participants.

”We no longer have that problem. The new pendants designed by Wilhelm Wohlert ensure that

our customers see our wine in the correct light.” says Damiano Alberti.

In the main room the pendants are placed in a big circle, whereas in the small room four

pendants are grouped together to form one large one. Together, the fixtures give our wine bar

ideal lighting. They are also connected to a dimmer, so we can set the mood we want.”

Dokk 16, an interior design company, is based in an old

the building’s heritage, provides the setting for an attractive

and inspiring showroom. Louis Poulsen has rented three offices

on the mezzanine, with a beautiful view over a still active part

of the harbour. A line of Enigma 825 fixtures provide general

lighting in the high-ceilinged showroom on the ground floor.

The cell offices on the mezzanine are lit by Aeros and PH 6½-6

Design Society is the name of the building at H. C. Andersens Boulevard 27 in Copenhagen,

opposite another Danish icon, Tivoli. The building serves as a forum where businesses,

designers, government agencies, science and the entire creative environment can meet.

A café area was an obvious element, and brass Doo-Wop pendants above the bar counter

create the right ambience, as well as the right work lighting. The Doo-Wop pendant’s

solid construction and excellent light distribution make it ideal for bar and restaurant

environments. Toldbod 120 pendants were chosen to go above the high bar tables. With

100 percent downward directed light, these do not distract, and provide light where it is

needed. PH 50 and OJ Floor help create the right intimate mood in the lounge area.

Comfort and well-being. There are hotels today to suit every budget, but

the expectation of experiences and well-being is the key to whether people

come back again. The perception of value for money applies equally to

business travellers and private individuals. A focus on service and providing

a good experience always pays, in order to create what is most important in

this industry – repeat business. Lighting will always be an important part of

the total experience.
