Studio Stockholm was commissioned to design the interiors for Investor, Sweden’s leading investment company, headquartered in a historic property in the heart of central Stockholm’s business district. The assignment required a sensitive approach that both preserved the mystique and long-term legacy surrounding the company and created an attractive, contemporary workplace that appeals to top talent while reflecting Investor’s role as a driver of Swedish innovation. The concept was grounded in a distinctly Swedish narrative, where the design embodies both the nation’s industrial heritage and its forward-looking culture of innovation, ensuring an environment that resonates with global visitors and local talent alike. Through this narrative, Studio Stockholm developed an environment that respects tradition and embraces the future.
