There’s a deliberate restraint in the design of Novo Nordisk’s headquarters — a calmness in how the space moves, absorbs, and reflects. In a program built for clarity and care, acoustic performance doesn’t interrupt the architecture; it becomes part of it. Through light-traced ceilings and precisely engraved wall panels, INDIGOFF helped shape an office that listens closely to its purpose.

Walls That Reduce and Refine

Across circulation zones, meeting rooms, and phone booths, acoustic wall panels with fine vertical engraving create a subtle but consistent rhythm. The engraved pattern isn’t decorative — it’s deliberate. It offers tactility without noise and depth without volume. These surfaces are designed to absorb, to refine, to disappear into the room’s intention: clarity, focus, and flow.

Ceilings That Guide and Glow

In open work areas, INDIGOFF’s suspended ceiling panels stretch along the main architectural spine. Their geometry curves with the layout, following the natural flow of circulation. What defines them is the lighting: thin LED lines embedded directly into the clouds, running flush with the form. These elements mark the ceiling with quiet precision — not drawing attention, but guiding it.

The panels soften reverberation across shared work zones while reinforcing visual order from above. Here, acoustics and light share the same track.

Material Logic with a Quiet Voice

The space never overstates itself. Soft grays, matte whites, and muted wood tones define the palette. Acoustic surfaces blend into this atmosphere — not hidden, not highlighted, but necessary. They support a workplace built around health, research, and rigor — one that demands calm without dullness.

Novo Nordisk’s office is a study in minimal intervention with maximum effect. With acoustic engraving and illuminated ceiling panels, INDIGOFF helped turn silence into structure — one line, one cloud at a time.
