Usine Restaurant in Stockholm

Richard Lindvall has developed the overall concept in close collaboration with the owners and restaurateurs Tim Karlsson and Michael Andreasson, previously coming from celebrated Stockholm restaurants Franska Matsalen, Pontus in the Greenhouse and most recently Museet.

Before the one year long renovations, the premises were used by the Swedish Tax Agency and consisted of a maze of tiny meeting rooms with a ceiling height of 240 cm. The entire bottom floor of the building was completely stripped down, and no trace of the old bureaucrats can now be seen in the new restaurant.
While the menu focuses on modern French cuisine, the interiors are more inspired by Scandinavian minimalism with an industrial twist. Lindvall says he took inspiration from hotels and restaurants in Shanghai, New York and Amsterdam.

?Big impressive buildings with lots of space and hard materials, but which are still keeping a welcoming atmosphere are very rare in Sweden, so I went abroad for inspiration on how to achieve this feeling.

I was a bit afraid of making it too cold, it was important to create a warmth in the environments, but still keep it raw and fresh.?
