Hartwall Headquarters
Hartwall’s headquarters was given a welcoming look that reflects the company’s motto—“Finland’s freshest office.” The lobby was transformed into a space for the entire staff to hold meetings, gather, and celebrate. Visitors can now see the company’s renewed identity right from the main entrance. This representative space, designed to bring people together at the heart of the office, was built in Hartwall’s colors and centered specifically around Hartwall’s products.
All surfaces, lighting, and built-in furniture in the space were renovated. We reused beautiful old classic furniture pieces that were reupholstered. Hartwall blue features prominently in the color scheme but is combined with cheerful and delightful contrasting colors. A large, curved striped sofa invites guests to relax with a cup of coffee, and large mirrored surfaces multiply the amount of natural light streaming in from the top-floor windows.
A fun detail related to Hartwall is that the seating around the large table is made from compressed material recycled from beverage bottles. Many hidden details were incorporated into the lobby kitchen due to the extensive beverage selection and beverage recycling. However, the overall result is a cohesive and visually striking space—just as desired—thanks to the use of various special materials that give the space a tactile quality, even though they are all in the same shade.
