Tip of Nordø – Noel Chair in the Atrium and Winter Garden

At the base of Tip of Nordø, a cylindrical landmark in Copenhagen’s Nordhavn district, a public atrium and winter garden create a calm, sheltered space that connects the building to its surroundings. Designed by Cobe, Vilhelm Lauritzen Architects and Third Nature, the architecture takes quiet inspiration from Copenhagen’s historic industrial structures.

The ground-floor atrium is conceived as an accessible indoor landscape—a place where visitors, residents, and professionals can pause, meet, or simply enjoy a moment of daylight beneath the tall volume of the building. Here, Noel Chair forms the primary seating throughout the space. Its clear, understated expression and durable materials complement the architecture’s calm presence, offering a warm tactile contrast to the steel and glass surfaces of the interior.

With its EU Ecolabel-certified construction and lightweight steel frame, Noel Chair is well-suited for environments that transition between public use and everyday workplace activity. The hand-wrapped flag halyard brings a natural softness to the winter garden, while the chair’s minimal silhouette maintains a quiet balance within the open, circular plan.

As an anchor point in Nordhavn’s evolving neighbourhood, Tip of Nordø invites the public inside year-round. In the atrium and winter garden, Noel Chair supports that ambition—providing honest, comfortable seating that reflects the building’s focus on openness, material clarity, and long-term design value.
