How Twelve Turned a Truck Garage Into a Warm, Circular HQ

Twelve brought four offices together under one roof in a renovated Amsterdam truck garage. A circular furniture subscription turned 842 m² of industrial space into a warm, flexible HQ that changes as they grow.

NORNORM's Solution

‍

NORNORM furnished the 842 m² HQ in our Nordic Light style, bringing natural materials and warmth into the raw, industrial spaces. With the building still taking shape, the subscription gave Twelve room to experiment. They tested setups and changed layouts as they learned how their teams actually use the space, something you would rarely do with furniture you own. Circular furniture in a regenerated building was a natural fit.

“NORNORM is the ideal partner for start-ups and scale-ups. The ‘old ways’ have no room for flexibility, which is actually what you need when scaling your business. Not only practically speaking but also from a CapEx perspective. It’s insane this wasn’t here before.”
Willem van Kralingen, CEO

The Outcome

Twelve now works from one HQ instead of four separate offices, giving teams that were once spread out a shared home. The layout keeps evolving with the business, without new purchases or waste. CapEx came down too. It was never the main goal, but it was a welcome extra.
