“... a well-designed, supportive environment in which to do creative work, with the opportunity to meet and collaborate with like-minded talents and creative professionals, is beyond measure.” – Frame Magazine

The house has been reimagined together with a group of architects, designers and artists who have created architecture, furniture, products and art specifically for Alma.

Acclaimed architecture studio Tham & Videgård refurbished Nybrogatan 8 and proposed elements that provide continuity throughout the space—a colored patterned floor made of ceramic tiles, a system of built-in shelving systems connecting the floors, the massive communal work desks and dining furniture for the atrium restaurant and a circular pendant light was designed specifically for Alma and used as a floating ceiling throughout the space. The resulting signature “w171 Alma” is produced by Wästberg and won “Best Lighting” at the 2017 Stockholm Furniture and Lightning Fair.

The one-of-a-kind tableware used in the restaurant is now on its second edition where ceramicist Rikard Palmquist designed the first and Samir Dzabirov the second. Shaker-inspired wood details throughout the house were made by carpenter Moa Ott. Hand-made ceramics signs and hangers were commissioned by Sara Söderberg. A mobile light installation was designed by Kasper Friis Kjeldgaard and artist Helena Lund Ek was commissioned to create site-specific paintings, spreading across several floors.

Adding furniture from producers like PP Møbler, De La Espada and Austere with design by the likes of Ilse Crawford, Neri & Hu, Matthew Hilton, and Hans Wegner, Alma is in essence one giant showroom for great design and art. Just months after its opening Alma was awarded “Best Interior Design” by The Association of Swedish Architects.
