Kinfolk is a lifestyle and culture brand based in Copenhagen, Denmark and its office was designed by the firm Norm Architects.
The space was designed to be collaborative and reflective of the creative aspects of the Kinfolk brand, but without any distractions. The resulting office design is sparse in its decor, inspired by traditional Japanese architecture and design styles. The space features neutral colors in whites, browns, grays and blacks, while architectural accents are used to decorate the more empty spaces in the office.
As a result of the traditional and modern, minimalist yet creative design of this office, employees are able to work in a space that is conducive to their work culture, collaborative and still peaceful.
