JOHAN CRUYFF FOUNDATION
The Johan Cruyff Foundation supports sports projects for children around the world. Former footballer and global icon Johan Cruyff firmly believed that playing sports together contributes to a better society, fosters connections, and promotes unity and understanding. The foundation places special focus on children with disabilities and those from disadvantaged backgrounds.
The Johan Cruyff Foundation’s office, located under the stands of the renovated Olympic Stadium, had to reflect the foundation’s mission in its new design.
In the original layout, the large conference table formed the heart of the space. However, this setup caused significant noise disturbances for the nearby workstations during meetings.
In the new interior design, a transparent, semi-enclosed, egg-shaped meeting room symbolizes connection and teamwork. Workspaces are arranged around this central feature.
The foundation’s signature color, orange, has been incorporated throughout the interior at the foundation’s request: as an illuminated backdrop behind the poster wall, as a ring above the meeting room, and in accents on the dark blue flooring.
