Designers Joanna Laven and David Walgren, owners of the interior design studio Lawahl, designed the Apartment ST, a late 19th-century Stockholm apartment on Strandvägen, a sought-after waterfront boulevard. Even though the Swedish design is focused on simplicity and minimalism, the clients wanted grand interiors.
They reupholstered antique furniture blended with modern pieces creating a timeless, and artfully curated, look. To accommodate the homeowners’ taste for texture and organization, hidden soft-blue millwork storage was included in the hallway. This hallway includes hidden cabinets with storage on the left-hand side. Finally, they gave the new space a fluid layout with French influences including elegant parquet floors and high ceilings, having, as a result, a unique testament to globalizing design culture.
