In the heart of Stockholm's Sodermalm neighborhood lies the moody apartment of illustrator Mats Gustafson, located in a late-19th-century building. Gustafson renovated the flat with friends Neil Logan and Solveig Fernlund (of Fernlund + Logan), who emphasized the play of shadows against the stark white walls.
We especially admire the muted kitchen, antiques collection, and art objects on view throughout the living spaces; all reminiscent of an Ingmar Bergman set. For a similar look, we source some of the key elements in each room below.
