in museums designs new office space for its own team,

which extends into the room in rich blue together with the adjoining
table, attractively contrasting with the cheerful pink kitchenette. Looking
like a string of lights, light balls float above everything, signalling that
this is a relaxed place for shared lunches, coffee breaks or spontaneous
exchanges of ideas. In the original office- and residential part of the buil-
