Kommendören
For the love of really good quality
In the autumn of 2015, the doors were opened to restaurant Kommendören, another one of the concepts that we have developed to the Vassa Eggen group. This is a neighbourhood restaurant based on the New York bistro culture with a nicely relaxed, noisy atmosphere and a focus on really good food.
Kommendörsgatan 7, at the corner of Brahegatan, sits right next to Humlegården in Stockholm. This is where you’ll find the restaurant Kommendören. Since its opening, Kommendören has quickly become a popular neighborhood eatery. This was exactly what owners Christian Olsson and Kristofer Sandström envisioned when our collaboration began.
”Our task was really to find an interior design concept that rhymed with the menu – a modern American bistro with international influences and a love of really good quality”.
Filip Svensson, Interior Designer
Specially designed and rustic
The result is a genuine, rustic bistro environment for approximately 60 guests in the restaurant and a further 25 by the bar. Almost all the interiors have been specially designed, from the light fixtures to the unusual bar. We have also designed the area with private booths that are separated by black, mullioned windows from metal. A detail that returns around the doors and mirrors in the room as well as the windows facing the street.

Bar of American proportions
The bar at Kommendören is much narrower that what is normal in Sweden. This is quite common in the USA and it means you get much closer to the bartender. This offers a more personal and relaxed effect, a reduced barrier that makes chatting easier.
Another fun partnership
Kommendören is one more in the line of fantastic restaurant concept that we have developed in partnership with the Vassa Eggen group. Vassa Eggen, Boquería, Albert & Jack’s and Tennstopet are all projects with strong concepts that have developed from our collaboration.
At Kommendören we have also collaborated with Oscar Liedgren Studio, who have developed the graphic profile of the studio. We have collaborated with Oscar Liedgren before on projects such as restaurant Boquería, and most recently on Tengbom’s own graphic profile. To etch the logotype of the Kommendören into the bar stools of the restaurant was a fun idea that complemented each other’s projects in a nice way.
