I often dream of working in an office full of creative, playful and inspiring decor, like the Google, Etsy and Facebook headquarters... The Denmark office of Lego is no exception! I fear, though, that I would be distracted by all of the amazing design and never get any work done.
Dezeen, the inspirational design and architecture blog, has a fantastic profile on the Lego office in Denmark, the brainchild of Rosan Bosch and Rune Fjord. The article goes into fantastic detail about the main design elements of the space, as well as the influencing factors behind the architecture.
From the metal slide in the center of the office to the interactive Fun Zone, this office is chock full of creativity inducing elements. I'd have a hard time getting to the less exciting parts of my job! Then again, perhaps if you work for Lego, every part of your job is exciting!
Go take a look at all of the photos of this amazing space, and daydream with me about working in a space where fun is a requirement!

in a snarky moment, I am taken to wondering if this space is designed for girls or boys.after all, the new (and completely ridiculous) 'friends' line essentializes 'femininity' beyond belief.
what happened to those great blocks that my friends and I (all female) played with throughout the 70s?

That metal slide is awesome! In the U.S., companies wouldn't see fun when they look at it; they'd see employer liability.
Bindy said it all.
Amazing!

PULEASEEEE let's not go 'round that 'friends' mountain again.
Too much fun for one space :)
you would have to pass a physical examination to use that metal slide... which is cool!!!
This must be fun to work in but it is a adult/ designers version of playful and I would of also designed a couple of rooms that bring to life their end users - little kids, little kid rooms and playrooms with lego in. The places and spaces where kids (and some adults) go to play with their stuff. They could even get kids in now and again to play and observe them.....go in to tidy up and tread on the stuff blah blah
I don't know why but I love that groove/cutout table. I would love to work here.
Where can I apply for a job at LEGO? :)
I agree with Melissa82. That table is really nice. My problem with offices like that, and especially the Google one, where you're allowed to bring your dog, able to do your laundry, where basically they make it feel like your better home away from home, is that they expect you to not want to leave and go back to your home... where you would not be thinking about work, about how to better the product/service and where your creative juices would go to something else than the company...
Tanyarousseau: Surely that is the point.
Given the current uproar (and their stuffy response) to the new (and only) girls line that showcases hair salons and coffee houses and a lack of ability to actually "build" things, I simply don't care how nice their studio looks. I'm buying my kids (2 girls) bags and bags of generic plain blocks and letting them have at it and really build cool stuff.
I kinda expected more legos. Still nice looking though.
This looks like a really fun and energizing place to work!
GBannis - My US company has a metal slide in my building, along with lots of other fun things in the other buildings. Don't totally rule the US out!
