Two Scandinavian coworking spaces flaunt high design
Alma in Stockholm and Nomad Workspace in Copenhagen put design front-and-center The coworking craze?exemplified by snazzily renovated former industrial spaces?does not seem to be slowing down.
Nor is it exclusive to the U.S. Case in point: Two stylish shared workplaces have opened in Stockholm and Copenhagen, and not only are they sights to behold, they?re also master classes in Scandinavian design.
First up is Alma (as in ?alma mater?), a new members-only club for creative professionals and entrepreneurs in Stockholm. Conceived as a space for work and play, Alma?which was founded by Stockholm native Fredrik Carlström (who is also behind Austere, the design store in Los Angeles)?is located in Nybrogatan 8, the former home of Beckmans College of Design. Carlström, Alma?s CEO Anna Behring Lundh, and architecture firm Tham & Videgård worked together to reimagine the two-building, five-story complex. The result is a dark and moody scheme characterized by a color palette of gray, green, and navy, rich materials, and custom furnishings.
As for the facilities, Alma comprises a grand atrium, dedicated work areas, meeting rooms, a studio, communal and private dining spaces, and an outdoor terrace. A restaurant (again, members only), overseen by chefs Martin Brag and Leo Frodell, a coffee bar, and an outpost of Austere are also included in the program. (The latter two are open to the public.)
