Gothenburg may be Sweden’s second largest city, but it’s home to the country’s most interesting design shop, in our opinion. Founded by Sofie Hellsing and Christian Duivenvoorden a few years ago, Artilleriet has been on our radar since the beginning. The couple’s latest innovation: A pop-up shoppable apartment (open until October 29) featuring a mashup of some our favorite pieces from some of our favorite designers, artfully presented in a suite of well-proportioned rooms. It’s a new way to visualize the possibilities and the potential of seemingly aesthetically unrelated pieces that, when combined, add up to character-filled, seemingly assembled-over-time spaces.
