Interior designer Robin Klang, owner of the Perspective studio, designed this beautiful apartment on Kaptensgatan II in Central Stockholm, combining the Scandinavian heritage with influences from the East. Everything started in the living room where the Stockholm-based interior design studio wanted to create a dark and light feel full of contrasts, a sense of simplicity with warmth. The studio wanted all the rooms to effortlessly work together and to transition the color scheme in a natural way throughout the apartment.
The parable is a bit drastic, the colors are rather like a make-up palette, a fine-tuned balance of different powders, but also the colors in a landscape with fog over fields, a dreamy sandy beach, a morning sky. It is lime colors that are painted by hand to surfaces that change in texture. The surface layer is important to Robin because his interior is so spartan. Coarse linen fabrics, sofa covers in hemp, fine tactile materials on furniture and objects, from matt to glossy, that makes it all interesting.
Robin worked out a color scheme that also contains colors such as plum purple and green that give life to the rooms in the turn-of-the-century floor with double doors and parquet. The calm foundation was already set. It did not require much renovation, just sanding the floor and fixing the surface layer. This apartment has a strong feeling of stillness and reflection, but it is also a home to be creative in.
