Topsoe Refurbishment of Series 7™ chairs
The revitalised canteen space at Topsoe’s headquarters not only offers employees an enjoyable, multifunctional environment but also supports Topsoe’s sustainability focus thanks to Fritz Hansen’s Refurbish programme.
As a global leader in carbon emission reduction technologies, sustainability is at the heart of Topsoe. It made sense, then, to look at how the Topsoe could implement sustainability on a practical level during the refurbishment of the outdated canteen at their headquarters in Lyngby, north of Copenhagen.
“The canteen is the hub of the building and was historically used only during lunch hours. We wanted to develop the space so people would use it more often, implementing a designated café for connection and a more friendly and appealing environment for informal meetings throughout the working day,” explains René Jacobsen, Global Facility Management Director at Topsoe.

While physical space can influence behaviour, true change requires concerted efforts in change management and addressing culture and behaviour. For Topsoe, sustainability holds immense importance, particularly given the historical environmental impacts of their industry.
“At Topsoe, we focus on [emission] areas that are hard to abate, in particular merchant shipping and aviation, and are developing technologies that support the world at large to make more sustainable choices. One thing is to help customers with technology to reduce emissions and another is to look at those we ourselves create at Topsoe,” René says.
Challenging the inclination to remove and discard everything when refurbishing, Topsoe wanted to focus on reusing: “In some areas we’re unable to lower emissions, but we counter this by reusing and repurposing where we can. This is one of the areas where we can mitigate our CO2 emissions significantly.”

The Series 7™ chair has the lowest CO2 emissions of Fritz Hansen’s portfolio, and its footprint is significantly reduced by refurbishing rather than reproducing the design.
