At not a box, we work and live on the basis of a simple premise: that best solutions are reached through collaboration - and that the best lives are lived in the company of others.

Therefore, we take pride in the company we keep: our strategic partnerships, frequent collaborators, and the vibrant neighbourhood our office is based in.

And there is always room in our circle of friends. Stop by our offices in Copenhagen for a coffee sometime - we would love to meet you.
