The dark-wood interiors of Japanese bars and restaurants informed this wine-bar-cum-office in Stockholm designed by local studio Note for Swedish digital technology consultancy Samsen.

Samsen's two rooms, one has a large communal table that can be used for dining or co-working, and the other has a bar with stools, three coffee tables and custom upholstered benches. A variety of flexible seating Settings accommodate different types of work needs, as well as entertaining clients, industry peers and friends in the area. The setup allows group gatherings, one-on-one chats and individual work to go hand in hand, creating a vibrant atmosphere even with relatively few people on site.

The choice of materials and colours was taken from small bars and cafes in Japan, which the studio described as "often seemingly small Spaces with an amazing capacity for large crowds thanks to clever seating arrangements". By balancing warm and cool colours and combining traditional stained cork with concrete and steel features, Note Design created a colourful interior to "break the grid of 1930s office buildings".
