Photo: Åke E:son Lindman / Courtesy of Totême4/12The art-loving Karl Lindman curated the book selection. His top three picks are: Andrée Putman: A Designer Apart, Rizzoli, 1989 (“an important source of inspiration when designing the space at Biblioteksgatan 5”); Peter Hujar, Lost Downtown, Steidl, 2016; and Christopher Wool: Limited Collector’s Edition, Taschen, 2008.

For example, we bought one of her couches and two armchairs, which we revamped with new upholstery that nod to the ones she did in tribute to Chanel. The couch and armchairs face a table by Marc Newson.”
