Who wouldn’t want to go to work in this stylish collaborative workspace in Stockholm?! Aptly called Alma this members club nurtures entrepreneurs and small companies mostly from the creative sector with its all-round offering of different types of communal and workspaces, a restaurant and bar as well as cultural events like art exhibitions, music gigs and lectures.
Architects Tham & Videgård have helped redevelop the large building by creating a mindful balance of work and social spaces. The interior design echoes the natural beauty of Sweden’s landscape and demonstrates the calm minimalism Scandinavia has become known for. There is a wonderful variety of luxurious textures and materials on show all kept in a muted colour palette with a sage green theme running through.
I love the enormous shelving unit running alongside one wall, painted in that distinct grey green which compliments the objects on show. The beautiful tri-colour chevron floor tiles are a real showstopper and add pattern to the serene space.
The furniture is mostly crafted from light-coloured woods by PP Møbler, De La Espada and Austere with design by the likes of Ilse Crawford, Neri & Hu, Matthew Hilton and Hans Wegner.
And the best thing is that everything you see from the ceramics by Rikard Palmquist and Samir Dzabirov to the award wining lights by Wästberg can be purchased via their in-house shop making this a concept store as well as Stockholms hippest members club. Now, where do I sign up!?
