Creating a New Co-Working Space for Nordstens Workspace, Denmark

As a contemporary design brand, HAY has closely observed the changes in the modern workplace. By developing products that bridge the domestic and professional, HAY provides solutions for a wide range of organisations looking to modernise how they support people and their work. 

Backed by a team of skilled architects and spatial designers, HAY undertakes key projects in professional and hospitality spaces, seamlessly blending innovative design with functionality. The result is environments that foster new ways of working, transform corporate real estate, and strengthen community connections. 

"Since HAY’s inception over 20 years ago, we’ve always aimed to design pieces that seamlessly bridge home and work," says Rolf Hay, Creative Director of HAY Furniture & Lighting. "There’s no need for a co-working space to feel overly corporate. We’re in an era where workplaces are evolving, and this project reflects that shift." 

For this project, HAY addressed the specific needs of a co-working space by designing flexible areas that promote community while offering spaces for group work, lounging, and quiet, focused individual zones. Comfortable, adaptable furnishings encourage collaboration, while straightforward designs create private, calming environments for concentration. The layout – from an open-plan kitchen area to office zones – balances openness with privacy, ensuring the space meets diverse workstyles and creating a great place to work, with wellbeing and connection at its heart.
