A day in your life with us

Where others see home furnishing products, we in the Communication & Interior Design function see smart solutions to create a better everyday life. With passion and creativity, we transform colours, textiles, and furniture into inspiring environments that captivate, engage, and convince our visitors that they can do it too!

You will do this by, among other things:
- Painting, building walls and podiums, organizing display panels, laying floors, and tiling in our displays, etc.
- Installing kitchens, helping to assemble furniture and prepare the areas for the implementations
- Following work strategies developed together with colleagues to implement all store and inspiration areas in the store
- Working according to clear deadlines
- During bigger rebuilds taking responsibility for external carpenters/painters, making sure they execute the tasks according to the plans and deadlines
- Planning and ordering materials, taking responsibility for the budget, and working cost-effectively
- Keeping the “carpentry room” neat and tidy to ensure good and healthy work environment

- Engaging in physical work, including heavy lifting
And everything you do is about helping to highlight all our fantastic products so that they truly stand out in an inspiring and welcoming store environment.
