Stutterheim

Alexander Stutterheim’s raincoats are the go-to rainwear for stylish Stockholmers. The story behind the company is well-known by now, but for those new to the brand: Stutterheim found his grandfather’s old raincoat and designed his first model, called Stockholm Arholma, based on that in 2010. Since then, several other models, all equally well-cut and elegant, have been introduced.

Svenskt Tenn

An icon of Swedish interior design, Svenskt Tenn opened its store on Strandvägen in 1927 and has since developed a truly original style. Among its key elements are bold patterns, rattan chairs, quirky accessories and wooden furniture, much of it manufactured in small workshops around Sweden. Josef Frank and Estrid Ericson, founders of the company, called the style “happy chances philosophy”, a way of building a home over time with personal objects.  There’s also a tea room where morning and afternoon tea as well as lunch is served.
