Client: Novo Nordisk
Year 2023 
Focus: Medical Custom Furniture | Versatile Design | Circular Materials

Through collaboration, SMALLrevolution, space designer Laika, and Novo Nordisk have co-created a spacious, versatile plant box tailored for Novo Nordisk’s office spaces. Designed with flexibility in mind, this plant box is perfect for office environments but can also be positioned outdoors in parks or playground areas, providing a green touch wherever it is placed.

The Challenge

Novo Nordisk wanted to enhance its office spaces with a functional, eco-friendly solution that promotes wellbeing and the company’s commitment to sustainability. The challenge was to design a plant box that could fit seamlessly into various environments—both indoors and outdoors—while being made from recycled materials.

The question: Could we design a plant box that would not only serve as an aesthetic and functional element in office spaces but also be adaptable for public spaces like parks and playgrounds, all while staying true to the values of circularity?

The Solution

SMALLrevolution worked alongside Laika to create a spacious plant box designed to meet both aesthetic and practical needs. The plant box is produced using circular materials, ensuring it aligns with Novo Nordisk’s sustainability goals. Its versatile design allows it to function in a wide range of environments—from office interiors to outdoor parks—making it a truly adaptable piece.

The Outcome

The collaboration between SMALLrevolution, Laika, and Novo Nordisk resulted in a product that combines form, function, and environmental responsibility. The plant box is now used across various Novo Nordisk locations, serving as a living element within office spaces and as a design feature in public areas.

This project highlights how thoughtful design, combined with sustainable materials, can create products that enhance both private and public spaces while supporting circular economy principles.
