When architects design a space for themselves, every choice takes on deeper meaning. In the conference room of their Oslo-based studio, Zinc Interior Architects chose VANK_BIO acoustic panels made from flax and hemp biocomposite. It’s a space used daily for meetings, creative work and team collaboration.

That’s exactly where we met with Therese Haaland Jonassen, interior architect and partner at Zinc. In the interview, she shares their design philosophy, the importance of responsible material choices, and why VANK_BIO felt right, not only for their clients, but also for their own workspace.

Watch the full conversation and meet architects who choose what they truly believe in.
