Danish National Bank

The entrance for this bank is a small hole in the huge, monolithic stone wall. You enter through a single-storey internal lobby that changes your direction while you enter the huge volume of the main 20m-high hall. Ahead of you is a staircase that hangs from metal bars, which is a counterpoint to the entrance lobby which also hangs. Light enters the austere space from recesses in the main wall. The focus is centered on the arrangement of Jacobsen's Egg Chairs. Through to the main banking area and the atmosphere changes completely. Here, one will find light, modern wood panelling and light wells with plants next to the workers' desks.
