Before its acquisition by Danone, Royal Numico moved its teams into a new corporate headquarters near Amsterdam. As the parent company behind baby food and clinical nutrition brands including Cow & Gate, Milupa and Nutricia, the new office needed to do more than provide a calm, contemporary workplace. It also needed to give the space more personality, connect teams across multiple floors and help make the move feel meaningful.

As a holding company for several distinct consumer-facing brands, the challenge was to create a unified and focused expression without overwhelming the day-to-day workspace. I created a solution that focused on common circulation areas, using scale, colour and simple environmental applications to promote Numico’s consumer brands and their individual values; the result emotively connects directly with the people who benefit from those products. The installation made a clear impact on staff and visitors, while feeling integrated with the architecture and easy to update over time.
