Trelleborg’s Medical Solutions division established its US headquarters in a 12,646-square-foot suite in the Atria Corporate Center in Plymouth, MN, a location which represents the division and hosts teams traveling from Trelleborg offices around the world. Brand identity sat at the center of the design, built into the architecture rather than added to the walls, from a custom laser-cut entry screen whose fading pattern echoes the company’s butterfly to the acoustic baffles overhead that follow the angles of the logo. The division wanted the top floor for its abundance of daylight, and full-height glazing pulls light and tree-line views deep into the open office. A range of meeting spaces, a recording studio for podcasts and social content, and screened quiet zones give visitors and staff room to work. The office sits inside the building’s industrial character, warmed by light Scandinavian wood and soft lighting suited to a Swedish company, so it reads as part of the global brand and as its own place in Minnesota.
