Rev. Dr. Trygve Johnson set out to create a space he had dreamt for Hope College students to enjoy at the school’s newly built Van Andel Huys der Hope building.

Renegade worked closely with Rev. Dr. Trygve Johnson in designing a custom focal point for the space – a sixteen foot moss wall reflecting Psalm One, a personal favorite of Dr. Johnson’s.

Additional custom solutions by Renegade include a reception station, acoustic sound-masking clouds, as well as a custom floor-to-ceiling bookcase in Dr. Johnson’s private office.

Hans Wenge chairs, Coalesse Joel chairs, Shortcut wood leg chairs, Slope leather chairs, and Mesa sofas were all just a few of the featured products chosen for this relaxing space.
