Lars Waldenström, Founding Partner of the firm (now retired), made a special visit to Dubai in order to commemorate the firm’s 25-year milestone.
We share the thoughts from the team on the occasion:
“When we first came to Dubai in 1999, we saw a unique opportunity to introduce Scandinavian minimalism to a region where opulence was the norm. We wanted to show that elegance could be achieved through simplicity, and 25 years later, we continue to build on that vision,” said Jesper Godsk, CEO and Founding Partner at LW.
“Design and architecture are all about people. LW is able to attract and retain the top talents in the industry, with team members averaging around seven years with the company. Our teams have continuously delivered excellent and award-winning projects during the past 25 years, and with new partners and leadership announced over the last 2 years, we are very confident that this excellence will continue for the coming 25 years.Our clients know, that LW always delivers on an extremely high level, and we are certain that today’s teams will continue to deliver on these expectations going forward.” shares Jimmy Hansen, Partner and CFO at LW.

Whether it’s through a hospitality project or a residential space, we believe design is a language—a way of telling a story that resonates with the people who inhabit those spaces.” shares Rachel Kidd, Partner and Design Director at LW.
