… the vibrant collaborative workspace located in the grand Scharinska Villan*. Inside these historic walls we are creating a vivid space for your ideas to take form, grow and shape the future.
* Scharinska Villan is the pink building at the street Storgatan 65, located next to Döbelns park in Umeå, Sweden. Scharinska villan was designed by the architect Ragnar Östberg and it was erected in 1904-1905 for Egil Unander-Scharin and his family. In the 1950s the building also housed the family business AB Scharins Söner.
DESIGNING FUTURES TOGETHER
The Pink is a co-working space with a twist. And we* have a high ambition; we want to create Swedens leading space for Sustainable Societal Transformation. Therefore we have built up a complex for creative work, discussions and dialog, for prototyping and research, and then opened up for people with a diverse competence and background. We already have designers, engineers, entrepreneurs, computer whizzes and innovators from Sweden, England, The Netherlands, Italy, Venezuela, France, Spain & China. And now we want you to join us in this vortex of innovation and energy! Make your gray workday Pink!
* We are RISE – Research institutes of Sweden – a swedish state owned company and Europes second larges research institutes. The initative for The Pink comes from the unit RISE interative Umeå, with focus on interactive design research and societal transformation.
