This week the ambitious new restaurant Oxenstiernan opens in a beautiful and historical building dating back to the 18th century in Östermalm, central Stockholm. The brainchild of Swedish gallery owner and silversmith Sebastian Schildt, it’s dedicated to local and sustainable produce at every level. “In a sense it‘s much more than just a restaurant. I see it as a platform where we can inspire with local food and local design; a place which speaks to all senses, and really touch the visitors. With a restaurant I can also attract a younger generation that doesn’t necessarily visit galleries to the same extent anymore,” Schildt explains.

Launching this week, the Finnish furniture company Vaarnii aims to introduce “a new Finnish vernacular” using local materials and local makers – from specialised factories to individual craftsmen – which are all carefully introduced alongside the furniture pieces online. Their first range of furniture is completely made from uncultivated Scots Pine grown in the middle, north and north-east of the country, which is slow growing and thus more dense.
