Gustaf Westman, the Swedish homeware designer known for his playful and vibrant designs, has made his iconic Stockholm studio apartment available for temporary booking on Kindred.
Born in 1994, Westman was originally trained as an architect before founding his own homeware brand. His distinctive designs, characterized by curvy, pastel-colored, and whimsical furniture and decorative objects, have gained a cult following. Pieces like the Chunky Cup, Curvy Mirror, and the viral spiral baguette holder have become popular on social media.
Westman's own apartment is a full expression of his world. Described as small, colorful, and light, it's a spontaneous and explosive answer to the contained essence of Scandinavian design.

Covetable books, magazines, and artworks can also be found throughout the apartment.
