At the office of Snøhetta in Oslo, designing through dialogue is a priority and a key element in the development of new ideas. Inspiration comes from group discussions, with everyone sharing their own ideas and insights. Interior designer Peter Girgis sees this as crucial to the process. But it's also about making sure different options are on the table – because different shape, colour and texture possibilities are essential for him. 

When designing "his" LEGRABOX design, Peter Girgis applied a tried and tested approach: "Personally, I find inspiration when I take a step back from the original context. I look for peace, quiet and seclusion." As such, water and proximity to the coast became the defining elements. "I came up with my LEGRABOX design by studying how light reflects and plays off different surfaces," he explains. When the drawer is pulled out, the drawer sides become visible with dramatic effect. As with water, the shapes are intended to merge into one another and play off each other in different ways, depending on the light.
