Next Stop Oslo

The Scandinavian countries and their exciting architectural projects are also becoming increasingly important for the Lindner Group. Particularly in demanding projects with high quality criteria, Lindner convinces with individual special solutions - both in interior design and building envelopes. Two projects in Oslo prove this extremely well.

Oslo Airport - Special ceiling with luminaires

As early as 2017, the Lindner Group played a major role in the expansion of Oslo Airport. In Terminal 2, called "Pir Nord", Lindner implemented five free-form sales pavilions planned with BIM as well as 18,000 m² of ceiling and 20,000 individualised floor systems. Thanks to the successful execution, Lindner was subsequently commissioned with another special project: the information desk in the arrivals area was to be given a special ceiling with controlled acoustics and luminaires in a very short construction phase during ongoing operation and night shift work. In cooperation with their design team from Sofia, Lindner handled the complete digital execution of the anodised tube ceiling with integrated LED lighting. This enabled a direct reading and correspondingly exact cutting in the machine and thus compliance with the tight delivery times which were significant for the order. The special lights, developed and manufactured by Lindner Leuchtenfabrik, also with a delivery time of only four weeks, completed the complete package at Oslo Airport. 

Munch Museum Oslo - Herreros Arquitectos from Spain

The special facade cladding for the Munch Museum in Oslo was also made by Lindner. The order came from a Swedish façade builder who was responsible for both the glass façade and the aluminium cladding. For the planning architect Herreros, the exterior cladding, consisting of various rounded and differently perforated elements, was one of the most important components of the overall project. Lindner supplied 4,000 facade panels for this purpose, which had to be manufactured in four different radii with four different perforations in a single stroke. In addition to the design and project work, a suitable production process had to be found: How to weld the statically necessary rear sickles onto the aluminium panels without leaving traces on the visible side after the anodising bath? In cooperation with a long-term partner in the facade sector, the right solution was found. On the way to Oslo, the surfaces, the pre-assembled corner areas with Plexiglas panels and the 70 revisable panels were subjected to several quality controls by the architect and customer, which were, however, mastered to their complete satisfaction. The construction period was one and a half years.
