Article source: Kvistad Norwegian design studio Kvistad recently completed a major upgrade of Bakken & Bæck’s HQ office in Oslo. The unconventional office interior is an union of spaceage, futurism and friendly scandinavian forms. A lot of ideas are taken from spacefaring vessels. All floors, walls and ceiling are painted in the same color, to give a feeling that everything is molded in the same material. Some rooms have carpets on floors expanding to cover the walls, suitable for a zero-gravity environment. Many of the details are supported by thin lines to resemble weightlessness.

Kvistad developed the interior concept “Scandinavian Spaceship”—a union of spaceage, futurism and scandinavian lines. In this red room — The Sauna — All of the pillows and matrasses are designed and hand made by us. The entire office space is a soft blue. It’s not cold or clinical, but warm and calm, much like the enthusiastic ‘hellos’ I receive from a few employees I’ve met before.” From Art of Work: a talk with Bakken & Bæck’s Tobias and Gunvor by Homerun  Image Courtesy © Lasse Fløde  Image Courtesy © Lasse Fløde Many ideas are taken from space faring vessels: All floors, walls and ceiling are painted in the same color, to give a feeling that everything is molded in the same material.
