Saski Crescent complex, GN Polska, Warsaw

GN Group makes technology for sound. Headphones, speakerphones, and hearing aids are defined by how carefully they listen. It made sense, then, that when GN Polska moved its Warsaw headquarters to the prestigious Saski Crescent complex, the brief for designers BIT CREATIVE was to let sound govern everything: the form of the ceilings, the geometry of the walls, the character of the light.

The result is over 2,000 m² that feel less like a corporate interior and more like an environment tuned by ear.

A lamp that floats

The first thing you see when you arrive is the office ceiling, and it stops you. Suspended above the welcome desk, a cluster of Boya pendant luminaires hangs among a circular wooden baffle and cascading greenery, each blown-glass capsule glowing softly, the whole composition drifting between chandelier and cloud.

Boya was designed for exactly this kind of moment. A Red Dot Award winner, it is handcrafted using traditional blown-glass techniques, each shade unique, suspended on cabling loose enough to feel almost accidental. Grouped together, the lamps read as a single sculptural object; individually, each one holds its own. In the GN Polska reception, they anchor the space without dominating it, warm without being heavy.

The same lamps reappear in the canteen, this time floating freely above the bar and dining area, their milky forms contrasting with deep forest-green joinery and trailing ivy overhead. Here, Boya does something else: it marks a change of pace. The workspace falls away. The room breathes.

Sound as a design language

BIT CREATIVE built the entire interior from a single concept: the visual language of sound. Acoustic wall panels cut into waveform silhouettes. Teal-coloured inserts between timber slats echo the peaks of an audio graph. A fluid LED installation traces an irregular path across the canteen ceiling, drawn not from geometry but from frequency.

The custom neon in the canteen reads Eat what makes you happy. Against a wall of living green, it's the room's punchline, and it lands.

Each meeting room is given a character rather than a number. One is wrapped in orange, a drum repurposed as a pendant light, cymbal plates mounted on exposed brick, a room that feels like a recording studio. Another hangs vinyl covers in an open wood shelf: a conference room that remembers why music matters. A third is quieter, with a large-format portrait of someone lost in a pair of headphones, the product in its natural habitat, framed as art.

A Nordic palette, rooted in place

Throughout the space, materials are warm and honest: pale oak, exposed brick, raw concrete columns, and green in every form, potted, framed, hanging, and painted. The palette holds it together: cool grey carpet in the work areas, deep teal at the kitchen bar, terracotta in the percussion room. Natural light runs the full perimeter; workstations sit close to the glass.
