THREE DECADES WITH THE SERIES 7™

The materials the architect has worked with are brand new textiles and colours in carefully selected shades that correspond with the upholstered palm forest: “We wanted to experiment with some new fabrics that are rarely seen on a Series 7™ chair. The colour combination is unique and creates an alliance with the other materials in the room, and all of this can be done while reflecting sustainability in the image.”

DR City consists of four different buildings, each one characterising the city with its own architectural style. The large media house accommodates approx. 3,000 employees distributed over 132,000 m2. It contains news and film studios, a large canteen, around 100 meeting rooms, radio studios and facilities that are able to form the framework for a meeting or a quick creative exchange of ideas. At the centre of DR city is the beautiful 180-meter long and bright “Inner Street”, which is inspired by a middle eastern “Kasbah” and serves as a meeting place and an entrance hall to the buildings. The Danish Broadcasting Corporation was founded in 1925, and the first employees moved in to the newly constructed DR City in 2006. It is an iconic, modern and architectural building, where the culture of the company has been integrated through the interior design of the furniture and the many creative areas.
