Carl Malmstenbutiken says it has had the full Carl Malmsten collection under one roof since 1940, and describes itself as the only place in the world with the complete collection. At Humlegårdsgatan 13, the shop sells Malmsten classics and newer designs, and offers tailored interior-design service. Visit Stockholm describes its approach as a mix of traditional and modern furniture, with Swedish folk tradition as a starting point. It lists handicrafts, natural materials, colours drawn from nature, sustainability and functionality among the shop’s principles.

Some Malmsten classics have been given new upholstery, alongside a more modern look. The shop also sells cushions, throws and textiles from Raf Simons’ collection for Danish textile company Kvadrat, exclusively in Sweden. Its website says customers can use Raf Simons fabrics to upholster Malmsten furniture. The shop describes the collection as a blend of colours and materials, with a tactile, sculptural feel for furniture and accessories. Visit Stockholm adds a piece of design history: Carl Malmsten’s Stadhusstolen won first prize in a 1916 furniture competition for Stockholm City Hall. The chair can be seen at City Hall, not at the shop.
