Project: Library Södertälje, Stockholm, Sweden
Architect: Askhagen arkitektkontor AB, Stockholm
Product: tretford INTERLIFE in colours 576, 579, 559
All of the materials used in the renovation had to meet the Södertälje library's stringent requirements. Especially the floor was important, because the young visitors must take off their shoes at the entrance. 'We intend our library to be an experience for all of the senses, and tretford carpet is very comfortable and feels good,' says architect Stefan Askhagen. 'The natural materials are perfectly suitable for our sustainable and intended target group. tretford is perfect, even for people with allergies.'
The colours 576, 579 and 559 were used for the colour combinations, because they harmonise well with the birchwood used and because the cut resistance of the tretford material makes the use of rounded and other shapes possible. In the small group spaces the relaxation benches are even upholstered with tretford carpet.
