Natalia Sanchéz the interior designer from Copenhagen, strived to create an office space that was as comfortable as the home.
To demonstrate how it can be achieved, she fitted out Copenhagen co-working space Nomad with furniture by Danish design brand Muuto.

The installation saw the 'office' furnished with numerous Muuto products, creating workspaces, lounge areas and conference spaces.
Nomad Workspace currently offers 2,500 sqm. of professional workspace in a combination of private and open office space areas, work lounge, café, common & community areas, meeting facilities and event space.

The philosophy of Nomad Workspace is to welcome individuals and teams who appreciate creativity, innovation and drive.
Sanchez’s design approach is "externally inspired and internally driven, largely informed by a great passion for culture and craftsmanship."
Nomad Workspace is subsequently a Scandinavian representation of the global co-workspace: contemporary and colourful yet understated.

Sanchéz decided on colours she believed would stimulate a calming and creative ambience in the space, which was a courthouse in the 1800s. She wanted to make the workspace seem more like a cosy home than an office.
"I believe in creating workplaces that inspire people to create and thrive," said the designer, who heads up interior design studio Spatial Code.
"A workspace should echo some of the same sentiments found within the home, giving people a welcoming, inspirational and relaxing experience."
Her enhancements included the factory-inspired Enfold sideboard in different shades, the simplistic Outline sofa and the sculptural Halves side table.

“We wanted to make people feel at ease within the spaces that they would inhabit, using the underlying emotional sentiments of colour throughout the space to communicate the feeling that we'd like for people to have when entering," added Sanchéz.
Muuto also selected three designers to produce design installations for the workspace, utilising the brand's famous wooden coat hooks The Dots, which were the brainchild of Norweigan designer Lars Tornøe.

The circular accessories come in four sizes and 15 colours, which are used to create a range of polka dot patterns.
The studio placed 98 of The Dots against a backdrop of coloured accents.
"Wherever we look around the world, we find the same organic patterns with their unique systematisation," said the designers.
"From star clusters to microscopic explorations, we wanted to play with scale and perception of seeing something from afar as opposed to up close."
The answer to the headline, is an unequivocal, yes!
