An innovation community in rural Weserbergland - that is the major goal of the large-scale project "zedita" of the Weserbergland University of Applied Sciences (HSW). In cooperation with various partners from administration, science and business, including WINI, a digital hub called "zedita" was created in the historic Kaisersaal of Hameln's railway station. The centre promotes innovation and digital working in the district of Hameln-Pyrmont.

Warm, cosy atmosphere with lots of wood. Scandinavian design is in harmony here with the collaborative corporate culture - typically Dutch. The new European headquarters of Frasers Property in Amsterdam offers employees a homely office space with zones for brainstorming, exchange, interaction, relaxation and online meetings. Those involved in the project had a set budget and clear ideas. Some office furniture was custom-made according to requested drawings, which solved acoustic challenges, among other things.

Taking the wishes of the employees into account, in 2015 the internal IBB project team created a new furnishing concept, supported by civil engineers, specialised consultants and the company physician. A working environment was created that allows for ergonomic, concentrated work and offers a high degree of communication and flexibility to the around 600 employees.
