Live in the whimsical, postmodern abode of fashion designer Gustaf Westman
In a shift from traditional exhibitions, Gustaf Westman's apartment is now open for visitors as part of a trend showcasing designs in real homes. This immersive experience offers a unique opportunity to see the Swedish designer's playful, maximalist designs in a personal space.
Gustaf Westman's apartment, nestled in Stockholm, is a reflection of his creative chaos. It resembles a grown-up cartoon, with pieces cast in electric blues, pastel pinks, and various bright colors. One of the most notable features is the Curvy Mirror, which went viral in the early 2020s.
The tour also includes a Ligne Roset Togo sofa, Spiral Stands, and other captivating pieces that embody Westman's maximalist take on Scandi-cool. The tour is a testament to the personal aspect of stepping into an artist's home, going beyond just the objects to see the world as they do.
