OK-Fonden headquarters

One of my first assignments when I started my career at Arkitektfirmaet MW and was to decorate the headquarters of OK-Fonden in a beautiful, old villa in central Frederiksberg in 2004. So, the loop was closed beautifully, when one of my final tasks at MW was to communicate the
OK-Fonden brand as they moved to Lersø Parkallé in 2018.

I have continuously worked for the OK-Fonden since we first met in 2004, so it felt very easy to create a scheme for upgrading the existing furniture that would convey the core values and the history of OK-Fonden.

The new building is modern, and we wanted to envision the feel of the old building while at the same time upgrading the furniture with a modern twist in a unified concept. All new furniture, lighting fixtures, colours and materials are chosen to underline this idea.

At the same time, we have had a great focus on the working environment, as their employees used to sit in small offices, and many were worried about sitting in a large office. Therefore, we wanted to create a warm and homely feel, and I designed several built-in features to make this transition. I have worked with textures and colours, heavy curtains and room dividers to achieve this feel. The feedback is overwhelmingly positive, both in terms of ambience, acoustics and functionality from both managers, staff and guests in the house.
