It went exactly as planned: Watson’s Bar 2.0 was built in just 10 days, and Rival’s new pride is now up, running and inaugurated. The walnut, brass and colourful armchairs made the climb, the old “Filmisar” got new walnut frames, and guests and staff love it.
Stratema is an independent M&A advisor, founded in 2013 by Øyvind Solvang and Dave Sandberg, with offices in Oslo and Stockholm. With more than 100 assignments in 10 years, it is an experienced and established name. We will be Stratema’s strategic partner, responsible for their interior concept, design and the entire move, as their Stockholm office leaves Klara Norra Kyrkogata 26 for Gamla Brogatan 32, next door to Sweden’s most exclusive restaurant, Frantzén.
Working with New Property, we found a smart, space-efficient fit-out for Qred Bank — one of the FT's 1000 fastest-growing companies — in Erik Penser Bank's former home for 250 employees.
Rovio has chosen us as its partner for a new Swedish office at Centralbadet — a home-feeling concept weaving the building's lush courtyard into the design.
Rival’s new toilets and cloakroom are finished and officially opened. At the opening, one of Rival’s regulars asked: “Can we book a cocktail party in your new toilets?” That’s not the plan. The point is that guests can enjoy a quiet moment to themselves and still feel appreciated and looked after, wherever they are at Rival. The toilets are no exception.
Sambla Group is consolidating two offices into Spotify's former home in Jarlahuset — full circle, since we fitted out Spotify's first HQ there back in 2011.
A new Rival project: together with Millimeter Arkitekter, an old conference room becomes a plush coat check, while the old restrooms turn into some of the hotel's most popular rooms.
Since our partnership with Exeger began in 2016, we've continuously developed their factory and HQ by KTH in Stockholm. Phase two now fits out the office's new dining hall and conference spaces.
Rival's old café is becoming a neighbourhood tavern inspired by Balkan warmth and classic French bistros — a place Södermalm will love. Another collaboration with Peter Ågren at Millimeter Arkitekter.
Exeger has again trusted us to shape their spaces — this time for their second factory, in a restored vocational school in Kista. Founder Giovanni Fili calls it a no-nonsense factory.
Take a quick spin around Quickspin’s new office and you’ll notice the creative atmosphere, the practical and inspiring scrum areas and you’ll probably think “I wish my office looked like this.”
Office 1.0 for Exeger is complete — and work on office 2.0 is already under way.

We're proud to welcome Santander Consumer Bank — one of the world's largest — as our newest client. After acquiring GE Money Bank Scandinavia in 2014, they needed offices matching their future vision. We're designing a cheerful, functional workspace for interaction and inspiration — practical, unexpected solutions, a fun challenge in a usually conservative sector. Full turnkey control. Kicks off January 2017.
We received the Overall Winner Award at the SBID International Design Awards 2016 for King – Sveavägen 44 office space. We were chosen as the best contribution in the competition with 256 nominated finalists in 14 different categories. This category holds the title as the ‘SBID choice’ and is given to the project that comes out on top after an amalgamation of the judges’ choices and the public votes have been considered.
It’s with the utmost pride we tell you that both of our offices for King are nominated for the prize “Best Office Design” in the international design excellence awards known as SBID. On the 25th of November we’ll be in London to stretch and get ready to hit the stage, wish us luck!
