Kitchen & Table Kungsholmen

Kitchen & Table is run by the Swedish master chef Marcus Samuelsson. The inspiration for the restaurant concept stems from Samuelsson’s own background and his present life in Manhattan. Culinary experiences from many different international kitchens, created with local Swedish ingredients, offer a distinctly unique experience further enhanced by the atmosphere.

With the starting point “Africa meets grandmother”, we truly wanted to embrace the multicultural blend also within the interior concept.

Africa + grandmother Helga + New York = true

Marcus Samuelsson grew up in Sweden but has his roots in Africa. With the starting point “Africa meets grandmother”, we truly wanted to embrace the multicultural blend also within the interior concept. The environment is warm and rich in detail, with many specially designed features, including tables with African-inspired patterns.

With a little flexibility, you get far

Restaurant projects often have a short timeline, as our work progresses in parallel with the development of the premises. This was also the case at Kitchen & Table, where we began in January 2014 and the restaurant was ready for its opening already in May 2014.

We often encounter unexpected challenges, which we find creative ways to resolve together with the client and suppliers as we go.

Amaranten is a building from the 1960s, with old drawings that did not always prove entirely accurate. The large concrete fan room above the bar and kitchen area is one example. It appeared when we opened up the ceiling and instead became a striking, defining feature in the environment. Two columns that turned out to contain nothing but air were removed to make way for a large community table, reinforcing the relaxed atmosphere.

Closer to Malmö than to Stockholm?

Since the restaurant on Kungsholmen was inaugurated, we have also developed the concept for Kitchen & Table at the new Clarion Hotel & Congress Malmö Live. There we have also created a new restaurant concept, Eatery Social Taquería.
