Just outside the city of Aarhus, Denmark, an impressive 15-floor tower has been gracefully added to the existing buildings of the successful IT company Systematic. Founded in 1985 and still growing, Systematic needed more space, so the 7,200 m2 tower was designed.

Inside and out, the tower is made of honest quality materials like concrete, wood, and glass. The same focus on quality was adapted in the interior design, where more than 1,000 LP Circle Semi Recessed fixtures in tree different sizes were chosen to light up the majestic tower. The architect team Gitte Frederiksen Kjølby and Lærke Bo Poulsen explain:
All over the tower the LP Circle Semi Recessed fixtures emit a pleasant, glare-free light. In each lamp the diffuser is encircled by a voluminous aluminium ring that adds an extra dimension to the interior and makes you notice the stylish fixture instead of the less attractive pipework, ventilation, and sprinklers.
The building’s characteristic round shape is echoed in the round shape of the fixtures, which creates a coherent experience down to the smallest detail. Even the color of the aluminum ring was selected specifically for Systematic.
”We wanted the warmth from the copper-like exterior of the tower to extend to the inside, so we choose to go with a carefully selected custom gray color (RAL 7039 gloss 5) on the aluminum rings to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere inside the building,” says architect Lærke Bo Poulsen.
