Eight years after the French brothers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec designed interiors for Kvadrat’s flagship showroom in Copenhagen, the high-end textile manufacturer’s 4,300-square-foot space in a 1950s redbrick warehouse was bursting at the seams. Founded in Denmark in 1968, Kvadrat has earned a global reputation as an industry leader in the upscale textile market, with Hella Jongerius, Frank Gehry, and Renzo Piano among its high-profile designer and architect collaborators. In recent years, innovation and international expansion has garnered the company huge growth, with annual sales leaping from $22.7 million in 1992 to $188.9 million in 2017. However, in Kvadrat’s prime harbor-front location in the Nordhavn district, a busy shipping port undergoing transformation into a modern residential and business quarter, this success translated into a serious shortage of space, and divided work teams. “Having sales downstairs and marketing upstairs was just not great for the atmosphere,” says Njusja de Gier, Kvadrat’s vice president of branding and communication. So the executives were quick to broker a deal when they learned of an available ground-floor property, double the size of what they had, in the building.
