When the office matches the brand
Turning an outdated workspace into an office to be proud of.

A brand known for its energy, with an office that wasn’t.
Eckes-Granini is Europe's leading supplier of fruit juices and beverages. In Finland, their portfolio includes household names like Mehukatti, Marli, Trip and Juissi, brands known for their playful and fresh character.
Their Finnish office in Turku told a different story.
Located in an industrial area in Pansio, the space had an authentic but outdated feel with low ceilings, standard panelled walls, and old carpeting.
Each employee had their own oversized office upstairs, with no shared spaces.
“Visitors preferred the conference rooms and lobby and were reluctant to come to the office" said Nina Wester, interior architect at Arco Architecture.
The brief was clear: bring the office in line with the brand identify.
More than a visual update
The renovation wasn't just about aesthetics. The existing space had real functional problems.
Arco Architecture, led by Nina Wester and Nina Ahlroos, identified three priorities: improve the acoustics, create spaces that bring people together, and do it all in a way that reflects Eckes-Granini's identity without losing the building's industrial soul.
"While the interior design draws from organic materials, it's essential to remember that the building itself has an industrial character. Preserving the building's identity is integral to the office refurbishment," said Wester.
That meant finding acoustic solutions flexible enough to work across very different spaces, and distinctive enough to feel like a deliberate design choice rather than a technical fix.

The brand itself as a blueprint
The inspiration for the interior design came directly from the brand. The organic shapes of fruit, the raw materials of juice production, the circular forms found in Eckes-Granini's visual identity.
"The application of Rockfon Eclipse acoustic islands in the circle shape resulted from their desire for organic-shaped acoustic panels," said Ahlroos.
Rockfon Eclipse islands in circle shape were installed across the open workspaces, main conference rooms and the staff break room. Suspended from the ceiling, they absorb sound while adding a visual lightness that fits the brand.
Modular ceiling tiles Rockfon Koral and Rockfon Sonar were installed to bring 80 percent of ceiling and wall surfaces up to acoustic standards throughout the building.
Upstairs, the fragmented layout of oversized individual offices was replaced. A shared break room and product showroom gave staff a proper shared space for the first time.
The industrial bones of the building were preserved throughout. Folded sheet metal and exposed building services are still visible on the lower floors, creating a natural contrast between industrial elements and the clean acoustic product surfaces.
A space employees are proud of
Since the renovation, the difference is visible in how people use the space. Employees now proudly show the office to visitors and share it on social media, something that would have been unthinkable before.
"Despite a few challenges, the installation of the acoustic elements went well for the most part," said Mikko Tykkyläinen of Sisustus-Nummi, who carried out the installation.
Better acoustics, cleaner indoor air quality, and a space that finally reflects who Eckes-Granini Finland is.
