Studio Stockholm designed Simon-Kucher’s new Stockholm office with the ambition to translate a highly defined global identity into a workplace rooted in Swedish design culture. Located by Hötorget in central Stockholm, the office is closely connected to the surrounding city, with views towards the urban core and its architectural landmarks. The brief was to create an open and flexible environment that reflects the firm’s high-energy consulting culture while offering calm, comfort and clarity for employees as well as clients and visitors. By carefully reinterpreting global brand values, Studio Stockholm shaped an interior that is both internationally consistent and locally grounded.
