At Axis Opera in Lund, wood plays a prominent role in the interior design, helping to create warmth and a sense of coherence throughout the building’s central areas.

For the interior wall surfaces, stripepanels in a random design with ash veneer have been selected. The variation in slat widths gives the surface a lively and natural expression, while the light ash adds warmth and creates a welcoming atmosphere.

The panels are a recurring feature around the building’s central cores and staircases, serving both as a visually unifying element and as part of the acoustic solution.

Project-specific solutions

A key focus at Axis Opera has been the interaction between the panels and the building’s architectural details. Around the spiral staircase, the stripepanels follow the curved shape of the staircase. Doors, lighting and technical installations have also been carefully integrated into the panelled surfaces.

Doors are seamlessly incorporated into the wall surfaces, while customised cut-outs around technical installations and black surfaces behind the panels help maintain a calm and cohesive appearance. At ceiling level, integrated lighting highlights the vertical rhythm of the panels.

The result is a solution where wood, acoustics and architecture work together, with project-specific adaptations and attention to detail contributing to a cohesive interior.
