Interior door Office building NNZ

NNZ specializes in packaging and originates in the north of the Netherlands. It is a family business founded in 1922 by the Boot family, who still run it today. This history is one to be proud of, and with that in mind, BuroBulder designed the new head office’s interior. Two pivot doors provide a glimpse into this rich history. The images on the pivot doors provide a beautiful picture of the company in its first years of life. We see old storage spaces with piled-up jute bags, employees busy with everyday business, the first warehouse, and finally both generations of Boot, with whom the company started. The two pivot doors are covered on both sides, each with a different image. They are ceiling-high, about three meters, and are distinguished from the rest of the wooden, room-dividing cupboard wall by the black and white photos. The doors hardly resemble passageways anymore. They take up a completely different place in the interior and make a statement next to the office spaces’ warm, light materials. Thanks to the System M pivot systems from FritsJurgens, these doors can be placed in hold positions at 0, 90, and -90 degrees. For example, you can choose to open the door inwards, leave it closed or open it to the corridor so that the image is already visible from the other side of the open office building.
