Apartment by Claesson Koivisto Rune

This apartment was made by renowned swedish architecture-trio Claesson Koivisto Rune for an unnamed art dealer, and furnished by Sven Skarstedt of Galerie Scandinavian Classics.

A home that I like a lot

This home epitomises the affluent "Östermalm" style of interiors.

Although it consists mostly of antiques, I for some reason really like this home. Granted, it has the huge "Liljevalchs" sofa by Josef Frank for Svensk Tenn, the "Taraxacum" pendant by Achille Castiglioni, Arne Jacobsen 7-series chairs and an elegant contemporary kitchen.

The owner is a plastic surgeon, which brings into question whether this is what Christian Troy's apartment would look like had he been a Stockholmer.

...Has a great funkis apartment, shown in Hus & Hem. Lots of art, animal hides and Kjaerholm furniture - great combo if you ask me. I like the way he has used one certain Kjaerholm sidetable several times, in a way that it becomes almost an architectural detail.

Kelim carpets, with their graphic geometrical patterns, go very well with modern interiors. Paintings by Håkan Bengtsson and Håkan Rehnberg, table by Poul Kjaerholm, ceramics by Gunnar Nylund.

Table, stools and black chairs by Kjaerholm, "Fun" lamp by Verner Panton, sofa by Boerge Mogensen, "Flagline" chair by Hans J. Wegner and Vitsoe 606 shelf system by Dieter Rams.

If I am missing something in this most beautiful home, then it is the warmth of an exotic wood such as teak or rosewood. Aparently some of the woodwork was in original mahogany finish, but painted grey by the owner. Sacrilige!
