Cirio
When business law firm Cirio sought a new office location, their ambition reached far beyond a change of address. In partnership with Studio Stockholm, they aimed to create an office that would catalyze change in the industry and symbolize their dedication to sustainability and modern work ethics.

- Interior, Strategy
With this vision, the choice fell upon the historic “Vildmannen 7”-building at Biblioteksgatan 9 – a structure now embodying a forward-looking interior behind a classic exterior.
Guided by the concept of “New Archetypes,” the new office represents a harmonious blend of timeless elegance and cutting-edge functionality, designed as an inviting atmosphere for both clients and colleagues. Spanning an expansive 2900 square meters, no detail has been left to chance, each meticulously chosen to support both form and function.
The office’s aesthetic language combines soft contours with sleek lines, creating a balanced contrast that enhances a culture of hybrid meetings, collaboration, and knowledge sharing. This cohesive design not only serves a practical purpose but also aims to evoke feelings of comfort, professionalism, and inspiration among those who enter.
