Minerva Gymnasium was built neighbouring the University of Umeå campus, a college preparatory high school directly partnered with the university. The location of the new school directly influenced the architectural vision, with durable materials and raw and neat materials sich as heat-treated wood and stainless steel accentuating the contact ith nature.

The overall design features a hierarchical structure with social and public spaces on the ground floor and school activities on the 2nd and 3rd floor. The interior design is built upon a classic minimalist design, with the impression of an airy and spacious environment created with large glass surfaces, uncluttered walls and bold coloured furniture.

The 1st floor social spaces include a variety of areas, with Flokk products featured throughout. Profim Ana chairs in a bold red shell and frame are positioned in the waiting area, lightweight and durable chairs that offer comfort and support for short term use, that can easily be rearranged and stacked when more open space is required for functions.

These are joined by Offecct Carry on Stools with Offecct On Point Tables. As On Point designer Mattias says “On Point is designed to allow full contact between up to eight people around it, while it’s also perfect for more private and intimate gatherings among a few individuals. It’s also a way of creating a micro architecture in the room, with the tree’s natural ceiling that makes us feel pleasantly enwrapped and comforted.”
