The concept originated at Brand Junkies. Issos developed and designed this idea into a beautiful and functional design. The space is divided into different zones, each adapted to different needs: lunch, lounging or concentrated work.

The acoustic houses made of recycled PET felt and the two round sit-stand elements in the middle of the room stand out. These elements can be moved easily thanks to an ingenious lever system designed by Issos. This makes the space flexible for larger presentations, a specific wish of KPN.

For extra seating, high and low window tables have been installed and three tall dividers with upholstered benches have been placed on the side of the courtyard, enriched with attractive photos, provided by Levanto, who also provided the signage in the restaurant.

Lighting played a crucial role in this project. Lixero tackled this professionally and installed new lighting that provides the right balance and makes the room look even better. The range of new seating furniture, ranging from dining chairs to informal seating, was provided by Meinema Projectinrichters.

This project was completed within the specified time frame and budget, to the full satisfaction of KPN.

We appreciate the role of our partners in this project:

  • Concept: Brand Junkies
  • Elaboration & Design: Issos
  • Construction of the facility & project management: Issos
  • Project furniture: Meinema Project Designers
  • Lighting: Lixero
  • Signage and photography: Levanto

Together, we created an inspiring space where KPN employees can come together and work effectively. Off to the next challenge!

Topics

Can you also work inside monumental or existing buildings?

Yes, we do that regularly, for example in museums! We have extensive experience with structural requirements, additional permitting processes, and respecting original features during renovations or transformations. The bigger the challenge, the more rewarding the work!

How do you take user experience into account in public or high-traffic spaces?

We consider routing, acoustics, sightlines, materials, and maintenance. Everything must not only look good but also be logical, safe, and durable in use – especially in sectors such as government, culture, and airports.

Are you accustomed to working in secure environments?

Yes. Our team is trained, vetted, and familiar with the procedures. We regularly work in areas with restricted access and strict logistics, such as airports or government facilities.

Can you serve multiple locations simultaneously?

Yes. We have the organization, network, and experience to operate simultaneously at multiple locations across the Netherlands – with centralized coordination and local execution.

FAQs

Can you also work with an external architect or main contractor?

Sure. We regularly work in construction teams with external architects, contractors and consultants. We coordinate our role flexibly: from interior construction alone to taking care of the entire process.

Do you only work on large projects?

No. We also take on smaller assignments and sub-projects with the same care and professionalism. Think of reception areas, pantries, meeting rooms or custom solutions where quality and detail are important.

What does turnkey project management mean?

Turnkey means that we take care of the entire process: from engineering to planning, execution and aftercare. One point of contact, one schedule, one result. No separate links, but one sleek whole.

Do you also deliver the custom furniture yourself?

Yes. We have our own production in-house and work with a permanent group of high-quality production partners. We engineer, plan and coordinate everything — including production, installation and delivery. This is how we guarantee quality, planning and a high level of finish.

Why include Issos in the project early on?

Because we contribute ideas from practice to the practical feasibility of a project. We often see where bottlenecks can arise and how to prevent them — technically, financially or architecturally. This way, you prevent delays and failure costs.
