It’s no secret that, along with thousands of other designers and design aficionados, I have a huge crush on the brains and the talents of Ilse Crawford. Be that as it may, I’ve actually never blogged about any projects by this revered British designer, considered to be of the pioneers of “human centric” design. This is such a huge oversight, so today I’ve set out to right this wrong. Photography by Magnus Marding, courtesy of Ett Hem Stockholm. I first became aware of Ett Hem hotel in Stockholm almost a year ago, however it wasn’t until just the other day that I was compelled to post my own little tribute to this wonderful interior. Ett Hem (“a home” in Swedish) is a 12 room boutique hotel situated in a former diplomat’s townhouse dating back to 1910. The original building was designed by architect Fredrik Dahlberg, and it was lovingly refurbished last year, ensuring the sprit of the original house was preserved, while crafting a contemporary hotel that feels like a home. Photography by Magnus Marding, courtesy of Ett Hem Stockholm. “The guest house is designed to be a home of comfortable, simple luxury. A house with open fires, a well-stocked library, a welcoming courtyard, modern yet resonating with the spirit of its past.” – Studio IlsePhotography by Uxío Da Vila for Architecture Digest España. Ett Hem Stockholm was born out of a successful collaboration based on respect and trust between the owner, Jeanette Mix, Stockholm architect Anders Landstrom – responsible for the extensive refurbishment, and Studio Ilse – in charge of brand identity and interior concept.The result is nothing short of spectacular. Everywhere I look in these images, my senses are instantly saturated in beauty and style. It is clear this hotel is all about the highest levels of luxury and design pedigree, but at the same time it feels utterly unpretentious, comfortable and inclusive. Just like “a home” should.
