Completed by designers Rosan Bosch and Rune Fjord in 2010, the open-plan LEGO PMD office in Billund, Denmark incorporates block-like display stands, model-building tables and a library of Lego pieces to create a playful working environment where fun and creativity reign supreme. The idea is that through the physical design, the children’s fantasy worlds – where imagination reigns free – become part of the everyday, creating the optimal space to create new toys for LEGO fans around the world.
