Central to the renovation was the covering of the four courtyards—creating fluid connections between rooms and levels—and the removal of partitions that once fragmented the interior. The result is a light-filled, open-plan workspace that respects the building’s historical layers while supporting the needs of a modern office.
Traditional materials such as stone, lime mortar, and wood were carefully preserved in dialogue with new elements in aluminium and glass, distinguishing past from present through material honesty.
In the building’s most emblematic rooms, contemporary furniture from Fritz Hansen complements the architecture’s renewed clarity. The PK22™ chair in wicker, Arne Jacobsen’s 3300™ sofa in vibrant red-orange, and the low and geometrical PK65™ and PK61™ coffee tables bring sculptural balance and timeless character to a space defined by continuity and contrast.
Fritz Hansen furniture was chosen for the building’s most representative spaces to complement the restored architecture and its material expression. Poul Kjærholm’s designs—the PK22™ chair in wicker and the PK61™ and PK65™ coffee tables—echo the building’s natural palette of stone, wood, and lime through their refined use of steel, wicker, glass and stone, creating a dialogue between traditional craftsmanship and modern precision.
Arne Jacobsen’s Series 3300™ sofa, originally designed for the SAS Royal Hotel, introduces a vibrant touch of colour to the interior. Its origins in another iconic public building underline the shared ambition of creating welcoming, functional, and enduring spaces.
