THE HEADQUARTERS · URBAN ESCAPE · REGERINGSGATAN 19
An inviting retreat in the heart of central Stockholm
Spotify says it designed its Stockholm office as “an inviting retreat” in Urban Escape, a city block in central Stockholm. Scandinavian simplicity and nature meet bold colour: a reception with suede couches and plants, meeting rooms named after playlists such as RapCaviar and Deep Focus, a theater with textured wood walls, a teal-and-purple cafeteria for lunch and fika, a recording studio, karaoke and arcade rooms, and a roof terrace looking out over the Royal Castle, City Hall and Gröna Lund.
