Two weeks ago I told you that the Copenhagen offices of research and design lab SPACE10 had won a 2023 Fast Company Innovation by Design Award in the Workplace category, "projects built to make workers happier and more productive." The very next week the office - supported by and working exclusively with Ikea on innovative design concepts - announced that it would close on August 31.
Jon Abrahamsson Ring, CEO Inter IKEA Group said: "The collaboration between Space10 and Inter Ikea Group has been a great learning [experience] with multifaceted achievements and outcomes over the years. Space10 has challenged our mindset of thinking outside the box, they have been our eyes around the corner looking into the future, facilitating new partnerships and business ventures, helping us investigate how we can create a better everyday life for many people. But perhaps most significantly, the partnership between Inter Ikea and Space10 has motivated our internal innovation culture and inspired us in how we approach innovation at Ikea."
Wallpaper posted a nice Top 10 collection of the studio's projects that "shaped conversations in everything from technology to design, architecture and food."
