What Zacho Design does

Zacho Design is a Danish interior design and space planning studio founded and led by interior architect Linda Zacho, operating from a single studio in Frederiksberg in the Copenhagen area (Solsortvej 99, CVR nr. 34996016). The firm provides end-to-end professional design services spanning idea development, concept planning, space planning, construction management, and handover, supplemented by specialist capabilities in acoustics, lighting, and colour solutions, plus a 'Special Design' custom product line producing bespoke branded items such as Corian reception counters, oak outdoor storage, multi-material conference tables, steel-and-glass high tables, and smoked-wood ID card boards. The underlying technology stack is limited to standard 2D and 3D drawing and visualisation tools used to support client decision-making; no proprietary platform or software product exists.

The firm serves two horizontal segments: commercial clients (private and public enterprises with 1–500 employees, including healthcare providers such as Rigshospitalet, Herlev Hospital, Hvidovre Hospital, Sjællands Universitetshospital, and Steno Diabetes Center; universities including RUC, AAU, IT-Universitetet, and DTU; and enterprises such as Cadeler, Monstarlab, Philips Danmark, E-conomic, and Lån og Spar), and private residential clients (apartments, villas, summer houses). A documented ecosystem of named trade partners — carpenters, plumbers, metalworkers, painters, electricians, contractors, furniture manufacturers, lighting and acoustic experts, energy specialists, installers, movers, graphic designers, and artists — underpins project delivery.

Zacho Design generates revenue through project-based professional service fees, scoped and quoted per engagement following an initial non-binding consultation. Go-to-market is direct studio consultancy, supplemented by international trade fair attendance in Paris, Cologne, Stockholm, and Milano, and an educational blog covering colour theory, sustainability, and lighting fundamentals. The firm is privately held, founder-owned, and bootstrapped, with no external investment, parent entity, or subsidiaries disclosed in source material; revenue, headcount, and founding date are not publicly disclosed.
