The workplace for law firm Norton Rose Fulbright in Sydney, which spans eight floors and 10,000 sqm, incorporates a diverse assortment of Kvadrat upholstery textiles. They contribute to the design concept, which references the site's history and aims to take clients and staff on a sensuous journey that evokes smells, sounds, sights, touch, balance, movement, and curiosity.

Various seating at the premises features Kvadrat textiles. Lounge chairs are upholstered with Vidar and Divina, while Melange Nap is used for sofas. Melange Nap is also specified for the workstations, along with Canvas and Tonica.

The Kvadrat textiles offer pronounced textures, adding to the tactile materiality of the interior concept, which draws inspiration from Sydney’s varied brickwork. They also reflect the colour palette that references local flora and the natural environment's rich, earthy tones.

Norton Rose Fulbright’s Sydney office has earned a Commendation at the 2020 Inde Awards. The project has also been recognised at the Master Builder’s NSW Excellence in State Awards, in the Interior Fitout Category.
