Yellow, orange and red are the colours that dominate the interior of the law firms Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer. The beige melange of the carpet blends with this tonality admirably. Almost 6000 square metres of the Flatwool quality was laid in the offices and conference rooms. The restrained structure and modest volume of this textile floor covering give the finishing touch to the dignified setting.

Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer is one of the leading international law firms worldwide. More than 2000 lawyers in more than 20 offices all over the world offer their services in all areas of business law. In 2006 the firm‘s Netherlands office moved into new premises in Amsterdam, not far from the Amsterdam World Trade Centre.

David Chipperfield Architects redesigned the existing building to meet the needs of the law firm. The rooms were designed to make a positive impression both on the lawyers and on the clients, with a suitable balance of discretion and professionalism. The interiors feature made-to-measure furniture and radiate tranquillity and confidence.

David Chipperfield studied architecture in London. He worked for Douglas Stephen, Richard Rogers and Norman Foster before setting up his own architectural office in 1984. He now has more than 150 members of staff working for him, with offices in London, Berlin, Milan and Shanghai.
