xo ~ AT WORK™ Editorial Team
This season, we welcome warmth, balance, and well-being into our surroundings with 4 design elements to consider to transform any environment:
✨ Organic Shapes – Soft curves and fluid forms for a natural, inviting feel ✨ Minimalist Design – Clean, intentional pieces that promote clarity and calm ✨ Multi-Functional – Smart solutions that adapt to evolving needs ✨ Elevated Inspiration – Thoughtful details that add warmth and character
We’re thrilled to share two recent transformations at the AT WORK COLLABORATIVE™!
First up is our small team room that now feels like a cozy retreat instead of the typical meeting room. It’s quickly become one of our favorite spots!
Next, is our Clubhouse, which now has a speakeasy-inspired feel that is full of character. It’s a magnet for casual conversations, and taking a break together.
Curious how we pulled it all together? It’s all in the details. Click below to learn more or get in touch!
Hyggekrog (“hoo-guh-kroh”), meaning "cozy nook," is an emerging trend in commercial design, especially in offices and hospitality spaces.
Rooted in the Danish concept of Hygge—focused on simple pleasures, gratitude, and relaxation—these inviting spaces offer a place to unwind and recharge. As employee and guest well-being takes priority, the hyggekrog blends style and function, promoting comfort and self-care to support modern lifestyles.
Applying the Concept:
Comfortable Seating: Use plush chairs and sofas to create a relaxing atmosphere.
Soft Lighting: Incorporate warm, ambient lighting to foster a calming environment.
Tactile Elements: Add cozy throws, rugs, and pillows to enhance aesthetic appeal.
Natural Elements: Bring in greenery, natural wood, or earthy tones to connect with nature.
Intentional Layout: Place these nooks in quieter areas of the office or amenity area, away from high-traffic zones, to ensure privacy and relaxation to minimize distractions.

Drawing inspiration from our Nordik Nook, we’ve reimagined a timeless winter beverage with a fresh and modern twist.
Glögg, a beloved Scandinavian tradition, is typically a warm, spiced drink made with wine. However, our wellness-focused mocktail version captures the same comforting essence without the alcohol. Infused with aromatic spices and wholesome ingredients, this soothing drink delivers rich, layered flavors while providing a cozy and nourishing alternative for the winter months.
