Funplus gaming company
Shoes off at the front door ...
FunPlus is a gaming company in Stockholm that puts fun first. When you walk into the office it should feel like your second home. Somewhere you can just relax. How can space, design and the atmosphere help lift the fun?
“We wanted an environment that didn’t feel too corporate. Cause when people can relax and feel good, they do their best work.”
Hinrik Asgeirsson (head of FunPlus studio) has been part of several start-ups but this one is different for him. “It’s a start-up mentality, setting everything up from scratch with a brand new team. But this time I have a larger organisation behind me,” he says.
FunPlus have two studios working parallel and they’re all in the same office. And the gaming industry is booming.
“Having spots where you can talk to people, get away from your desk, reflect… those type of things is extremely important.”

Shoes off and a pet-friendly policy, the company culture is fun and full of world-class talented people. Hinrik wanted to provide an atmosphere that makes them want to be here. He asked IKEA and the interior design service for some help to create a welcoming space.
“We used IKEA for everything. The interior designer came up with ideas but they also put everything together. I was very happy with how quickly the job was done. It was effortless from our end.”
“When I walk into our new meeting room, it doesn’t feel too corporate. And I think that’s sort of the key, if it doesn't feel like an office, it puts you in a different more casual mindset.”
In the future, Hinrik and his team have been thinking of setting up some sort of “hot desks”. Instead of people having their own desks, you come into the office and simply pick one of the tables that's free. “So it would be less of a territorial game,” he says.
