Divine office

For relaxed but smart office wear, focus on the details: an open-neck shirt, a wool/linen suit or a retro satchel. An elegant work environment is the perfect backdrop for your effortless look.

Working a look

You’re likely to spend most of your time there, so there’s no excuse for badly designed offices. Understated elegant Danish style and exquisite finishes are something we would like to see more of in the workplace. Energinet.DK, which owns, operates and develops the transmission systems for electricity and natural gas in all of Denmark, shows it is switched on with its new HQ designed by Danish architects Hvidt & Mølgaard. Located in picturesque Jutland, the warm interior reflects its rural surroundings with an airy, light space featuring plenty of glass and high ceilings. The building has a central courtyard and an uplifting spacious foyer. Custom-crafted booths in ash wood featuring snug benches and tables are perfect for those impromptu meetings and quiet espresso breaks. Workstations are kept simple, with furniture from Paustian, and lighting is soft. Hvidt & Mølgaard, headquartered in Copenhagen, was established in 1944.
