How many people linger in the charming pub transformed from the old house?

Ett Hem, an exquisite hotel in Stockholm, won the Smiths'Mr & Mrs Smith Hotel Awards in 2015, and Ett Hem means "home" in Swedish.

Located in the tranquil and peaceful L ·Rkstaden residential area, the red brick building with new art style features was built by local architect Frederick Fredrik Dahlberg in 1910.

Although the main body of the building looks square and erect, continuing the classical revival style of the Victorian era, the details of the flowing and expressive appearance, such as arched windows and small spires of wavy lines, it highlights the important influence of the new art movement on European architecture in the 20th century.

The fascinating qualities of this old house all begin with the famous painter Carl Larsson and his wife Karin Larsson in the early 20th century.

The hostess of Ett Hem at the beginning of her construction was a big fan of Karin, who incorporated Larson's aesthetic into her daily life.

Everything has to be born in the 1850s, this pair of Swedish artists Karl and Karin? The Carl and Karin Larsson said that the couple, who fell in love with Gr è z-sur-Loing in France, married and returned to a brook house in the Swedish countryside, where they had eight children.

Their married life is like many of the beautiful rural lives we have reported in the past. Carl paints and designs furniture, and Karin makes textiles such as rags, carpets, covers, tablecloths, doors and windows, bedding and so on.

Karl depicts the most representative color of life in the eyes of Swedes with soft and lively tones and delicate brush strokes. His wife is a very talented designer in home decoration, no matter interior space, furniture, fabric creation are full of Swedish traditional essence and smart texture.

Everything at home is true, and the style they create at home has become one of the key influences of Scandinavian design in the 20th century.

Different from the taste of the aristocratic tuhao at that time, Larson's aesthetics had a great influence on William Morris, the father of the arts and crafts movement. They support the return of simplicity, craftsmanship and natural beauty. These qualities not only helped define the direction of Scandinavian design in the 20th century, but still have a profound impact today.

In Larson's watercolors, Karl often paints on the family, including his family, and even dogs. These works have become the research objects of Nordic artists and designers, and even social theorists, showing the epitome of family-centered social democracy.

The Larsons are characterized by lightness, informality and comfort.

Swedes were also popular to buy expensive revival-style furniture, but the Larsons decorated their homes with hand-made furniture, colorful cotton goods and indoor plants.

In 2011, the current owner, Jeanet te M i x, invited the famous London designer Ilse Crawford to renovate the old house. In the process of transforming the private house into a boutique hotel, Ilze specially retained a lot of original works of art and handmade decoration, making this old house with a century-old Nordic style. It still has a historical flavor in the modern process. "We want to continue the story of this house in a futuristic way," she said. "

The 12-room Ett Hem is designed to look like a generous family. Through the garden vestibule surrounded by red brick walls, the first floor is an open public space. The living room, library and kitchen are available. The kitchen is the center of the public space. Guests can come to the kitchen to get food and drink. In the library, they can choose their favorite books to read. There is a semi-open glass greenhouse in the garden, which is not only the most comfortable rest place, but also a good place for drinking and partying in the evening.

Ett Hem is no ordinary hotel, more like a family. The wonderful family life inherited from Larson's family for 200 years continues to convey warmth, comfort and joy under the ingenious transformation of respect for history and contemporary functions.
