EQT London reflects the company’s global presence and ambition. Studio Stockholm was entrusted with developing and implementing a design concept that unites flexibility, timeless quality, and brand expression across the firm’s offices worldwide. In London, this vision was enriched with local character, drawing inspiration from the city’s cultural heritage and contemporary art scene. The result is a workplace that not only embodies EQT’s philosophy of refinement but also supports performance, collaboration, and wellbeing through carefully orchestrated spaces and materials.
