Meridium are a digital services provider based in Sweden, building a range of online tools from websites to mobile apps.
Launched in 2012, Meridium are an established digital design agency, with over 60 staff across two locations in Sweden. When the brand had outgrown their offices in the Swedish city of Kalmar, they were keen to move into larger premises, but were reluctant to leave the Svensknabben peninsula of the city, a beautiful location with views of the Oland Bridge, a bathing area for the summer months, and many tranquil walking routes.
Luckily, they didn’t have to, as they were presented with the unique opportunity to build a brand new office on the island, with a hand in designing not only a beautiful exterior, but also a stunning interior.
Meridium’s new workspace was designed by Interior Architect Sofia Kagg, covering 3 out of 5 floors of the new build, with over 1000m2 of office space. Meridium staff were involved throughout the design process, helping to ensure that the company’s culture was reflected throughout.

The result is an original office design, full of colour and warmth that feels both homely and professional, but highly original as well. A Rich colour palette runs throughout the building, with a tasteful collection of purples and blues in the open plan office area, with all furniture and fittings matching the colour scheme, including tweed patterned desk dividers. Acoustic panels, tasteful lighting and live plants all add to the environment, making it a pleasant and inspiring place to work.
Meeting rooms featured plush armchairs with a similar tweed, with several social areas equally decorated with a homely touch. A large social area suitable for eating and informal gatherings is also part of the design, as well as a more corporate meeting room and waiting area.
For the open office area, HÅG Capisco chairs have been specified, chosen for the flexibility they offer, and the health benefits provided by the HÅG in Balance technology that forms the basis of all of HÅG’s designs. They were also able to colour match the fabrics to their office aesthetics, choosing ‘Go Couture’ from Gabriel Fabrics.
Opened in 2019, the workspace has received a nomination for the Sveriges Snyggaste Kontor (Sweden's Most Beautiful Office) 2019 award.
"Sofia listened to what we have said and has been able to transform and interpret it into a stylish but also practical office designed according to our specific needs for workspaces and common collection areas." MARCUS LINDBLOM, WEB DEVELOPER MERIDIUM
