Fritz Hansen completes revamp of Danish HQ

Furniture brand Fritz Hansen has revamped its headquarters in eastern Denmark, creating a sequence of homely spaces that cater to the diverse work methods of its employees. 

The HQ is located on the edge of a forest in the municipality of Allerød, next to the site of Fritz Hansen's now-defunct sawmill.

Workspaces are spread across the remains of the brand's former factory and an administrative building from the 1960s. These two buildings are connected by a reception and meeting room that were constructed in 2003.

The revamped interior has been developed by Fritz Hansen's in-house design team using an activity-based space planning method.

It's meant to create more flexible working environments by allocating particular activities to different areas. Workspaces are split into a series of zones, each one dedicated to social, collaborative or individual activities.

Together, these zones are designed to promote better concentration, productivity, knowledge sharing and stronger collaborations.
