In a world where competition for the workforce has become tougher and the working environment can become a match-winner, Avinode needed an office with a strong identity and a strong attractive element. With a focus on solutions, we nonetheless promote a healthy life and a good work-life balance, so we cherish playful as well as restful elements in the working environment. "We Noders are constantly on the move and find inspiration in many different ways. We wanted an office that lives up to that aim, and at the same time provides for all the needs people have in a working day. Sustainability is important to us, and we therefore reuse and recycle, and make very conscious choices about priorities. Now you get one wow feeling after another, as you discover all the office environments!" said Alexandra MacRae of the Avinode Group. The choice of flooring for the project went to Forbo's Marmoleum linoleum flooring - a simple choice because Marmoleum met all of White's requirements for a floor covering. The floor had to be durable and robust, and have a wow factor. With our strong focus on sustainability, the choice of Marmoleum was important. The material does not contribute to climate change, and the large range of colours and types affords endless design possibilities. Since the flooring is made of natural raw materials, it also helps us to provide a good atmosphere in the premises. The fact that Marmoleum bears the Nordic Swan ecolabel is another reason why this flooring was chosen.
