Preserving the life of architecture
In 2002, Ferring Tower, designed by Henning Larsen, became a striking landmark in Copenhagen's Ørestad district, known for its industrial steel structure. As one of Denmark’s tallest buildings, it stood as a symbol of urban growth and architectural ambition.
After two decades as a corporate office, the building underwent a thoughtful transformation by ACT Architects to meet the evolving demands of modern workspaces. To create a new and viable narrative in a unified architectural language, the transformation incorporated natural materials like wood, stone, and metal, softening the tower’s industrial aesthetic and creating a warmer, more inviting atmosphere.
Key to the interior redesign, Barber Osgerby’s Plan Chair was selected for various areas within the space. Its leather seats add a tactile warmth to the office environment, while the sleek steel legs echo the tower’s industrial elegance, bridging the building's heritage with its contemporary and timeless new identity.
