You might have seen this photo on our sister travel Instagram @designmilktravels (are you following us yet"). The dining space looked so magical and beautifully designed, we knew we had to find out more about the hotel it resides in. It turns out that the Radisson Collection Hotel РStrand Stockholm was recently renovated by Swedish architectural studio Wing̴rdhs who gave the interiors a new modern look that appeals to all design lovers.

Wingårdhs was tasked with refreshing the hotel?s 170 guest rooms, lobby, meeting rooms, new restaurant and bars. The main priority of the renovation was to create a warm, inviting atmosphere that highlighted both new features and the original details of the storied hotel, which originally opened in 1912 to coincide with the year?s Olympic Games. A custom color called Strand Grey was created specifically for the hotel, complementing the other neutral and natural materials like stone, wood, leather and metal found throughout the interiors. The grey-toned color also provides a neutral backdrop that allows all the contemporary furnishings and fixtures to have their moment. Eagle-eyed design enthusiasts will be able to spot design classics like the 2097 chandeliers from FLOS and the Swan chairs from Fritz Hansen. Young artists and designers were commissioned by local firm Young Art to create photography, paintings and other artworks to be used throughout the lobby, event spaces, guest rooms and restaurant.
