Cobe's Managing Director named one of Denmark's 100 biggest talents
The Danish newspaper Berlingske Business each year appoints the 100 most talented people in the Danish business community. Nina Mathiesen, Cobe's Managing Director, is one of the top 100 new Danish talents in 2018.
"Nina has managed to safeguard Cobe's culture while at the same time professionalizing the company. She is analytical in her approach, which is a huge force in a creative business. She informs, delegates and engages and has a good gut feeling about the direction we should go in and where we should focus – even in difficult situations," says Cobe's Founder and Creative Director Dan Stubbergaard.
Nina has been Managing Director of Cobe since 2014, but has been apart of the company since 2008. In these past four years, Cobe has grown into an international company with some 120 employees and with projects in both Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Germany, UK and North America.

Paper Island's aquatics centre
Cobe unveils the competition scheme for The Waterfall – Paper Island's aquatics centre, done in collaboration with BIG – Bjarke Ingels Group, Hundsbæk & Henriksen, SLA, Dansk Energi Management & Esbensen, Teknologisk Institut, Gade & Mortensen and A Kassen.
The project is part of the masterplan for Paper Island, also designed by Cobe, and proposes one large public hall containing aquatic activities and facilities for clubs and associations, all connected by a continuous cascading flow of waterfalls. The auqatics center follows the distinctive roof motif on Paper Island with large sloping roof surfaces and gables oriented towards the waterfront, becomming an essential part of the important cultural institutions along Copenhagen's inner harbour.
Cobe unveils new entrance to Designmuseum Danmark
Designmuseum Danmark is uniquely situated in the historical centre of Copenhagen, housed in listed buildings in Frederiksstaden district, which is considered one of the most important rococo complexes in Europe.
The project features three elements – repaved plaza, new outdoor display cases and a new entrance with café, ticket office and museum shop – that invites visitors into the new plaza where they will get to preview the museum’s treasure trove.
Cobe was selected as architects for the project during an architectural competition settled in February 2017. The ground-breaking will be held in May 2018, and the project is expected to be completed in November 2018. The project was made possible thanks to a donation from Annie & Otto Johs. Detlefs Foundation.

The charging station of the future is designed to give you a meaningful break
In collaboration with CLEVER, which supplies charging solutions for electric vehicles, Cobe unveils the design for the ultra-fast charging station. The idea is to let drivers take a meaningful break during their journey.
The charging station takes the form of a series of structural ‘trees’, with ‘crowns’ that filter light and shade to create a green environment with a calming atmosphere. The modular approach means that the design is scalable, and that one ‘tree’ can easily be multiplied to become a ‘forest’ depending on the required capacity.
Over the next couple of years, a total of eight charging stations will be built in Denmark, the first one completed in Fredericia mid-2018, and a further 40 in Sweden and Norway.
