Details
Interesting Times Gang converted Swedish ocean plastic waste into a sea of handmade, bespoke tabletops and a sleek bar counter. Recycled materials from half-a-tonne of fishing nets, were reincarnated into uniquely beautiful furniture. Overlooking Stockholm’s archipelago and flooded with natural light, the space creates an atmosphere that is both tranquil and inspiring. This one-of-a-kind environment, where elements of nature and circular materials meet, creates an experience that is as unforgettable as it is extraordinary. This project was a collaboration with Tengbom architects for Fotografiska's new event area called “Salongen”.
The Jury‘s Statement
The design for the “Archipelago” bar impresses with a sustainable concept that focuses on the use of recycled marine plastic. The combination of handcrafted elements, natural light and a harmonious color scheme creates a calm, inspiring atmosphere that promises a high quality of stay.
