When the legendary Swedish architect Erik Lallerstedt originally designed the T-house, he immediately brought in sculptor Carl Eldh to adorn the building with his work. Art and architecture as one.

When Humlegården Fastigheter asked Interesting Times Gang to design the bar at the centre of their redesigned headquarters, we knew we had to honour that legacy, and do it with the materials and methods of our time.

The Challenge

Humlegården Fastigheter wanted a centrepiece for their new headquarters that could carry the weight of the building's history while expressing a clear commitment to sustainable design. The bar needed to be sculptural, a piece of craftsmanship, while being made from recycled and reclaimed materials.

The brief asked for something that felt both rooted in place and modern.

Design & Making

The bar is composed of 31 individually sculpted panels, each modelled in 3D and unique in form. Together they read as a single biophilic composition: flowing, textured and full of movement. A shape that never repeates.

Every panel is 3D-printed from a composite of recycled fishing nets and wood waste. Two material streams that would otherwise have no second life, combined into something that now stands at the heart of one of Stockholm's most considered office interiors.

The 3D modelling process was meticulous: each section was designed to fit seamlessly with its neighbours, allowing for hidden storage. The light catches differently across the curve, and the material origin remains legible if you know to look for it.

Sustainability & Circularity

The project demonstrates what circular design looks like at the scale of architecture and as the defining feature of a space. A bar that exists because waste became a resource.

Result

Sjöros has become the focal point of Humlegården Fastigheter's headquarters: a space that colleagues return to, that visitors ask about, and that communicates the organisation's values more directly than any policy document could.

We like to think Erik and Carl would have approved.
