Ströms Woman – A New Luxury Destination for the Modern Woman

Ströms Woman – A New Luxury Destination for the Modern Woman Photo: Jesper Florbrant Ströms Man & Woman is embarking on a new chapter with the launch of Ströms Woman, an expanded space exclusively dedicated to women, on the upper floor of its iconic store at Kungsgatan and Sveavägen. A long-standing fixture in Stockholm’s Centrumhuset since 1939, Ströms is increasing its women’s fashion floor area by over 50%. The renovation of the upper level in this landmark building has created a distinctive and inviting destination for women’s style in the city. CEO Torbjörn Rusck noted that the expansion was inspired by a desire to offer customers in Stockholm an “elevated shopping experience, one that combines a warm and welcoming atmosphere with a premium, international touch”. He emphasises that the new space “builds on our 120-year heritage of quality and service, while introducing a modern expression tailored for today’s women.” The store’s design highlights quality and craftsmanship, with every item and piece of furniture custom-made for Ströms. All furnishings are handmade in Sweden, underscoring a strong commitment to authenticity and attention to detail. Art plays a central role in the store’s interior design, including Lukas Göthman’s painting “I Like Your Fire”, which invites visitors to form their own reflections and interpretations. Rusck summarised the overall feeling by saying: “We want to create a place that feels curated and effortless”, adding that “every detail in the interior is chosen to reflect the same care we show our customers.” Ströms Woman is designed to be a complete destination for the modern woman. It offers a complete wardrobe, from everyday and business to party attire. The assortment combines Swedish and international design brands such as Marni, Tory Burch, Boss, by Malene Birger, Malina and MaxMara, along with their own collection, Ströms Woman. Photo: Jesper Florbrant Rusck describes the modern Ströms Woman customer as a “businesswoman in her best years, confident in her style, whether she’s at work, out in the evening, or dressed casually”. He added that the store is designed to be a “three-generation store,” believing that the right products can connect with women across generations. The new floor features a “city living room” on the entresol level, offering a quiet contrast to the busy intersection outside. This space includes lounge groups and an exclusive Chambre Séparée, hidden behind a sliding door, which offers undisturbed personal styling. On enhancing the shopping experience, Rusck said: “We want our customers to feel relaxed, and it’s just as important that their friends or partners feel comfortable too. A personal shopping experience takes time, and selecting pieces to enhance a wardrobe should feel inspiring and enjoyable. Our goal is for the experience to be as rewarding for the customer as it is pleasant for her company.”

Skultuna x Fredrik af Klercker – Carolus IX

Skultuna x Fredrik af Klercker — Carolus IX Image courtesy of Skultuna There is a certain poetry in time, in the weight of heritage carried through centuries of craft. With Carolus IX, Fredrik af Klercker unites four hundred years of Swedish design tradition with an enduring sense of elegance. The softly curved tonneau case, inspired by early twentieth-century icons, gives the watch a quiet confidence that feels both classic and contemporary. Tonneau, the French word for barrel, evokes strength and harmony, a shape that has endured through eras of change. Named after Skultuna’s founder, King Karl IX, Carolus IX represents the best of Swedish and European watchmaking heritage. It is a watch for life, created to be worn with the same ease and self-assurance whether paired with a tuxedo or nothing but sun-warmed skin by the sea. Two versions are available: one with a black minimalist dial, and another with a white face featuring numerals borrowed from a grandfather clock in Västmanland, a subtle tribute to Skultuna’s roots. The watch is available online and in Skultuna stores. Read more at Skultuna.com

PENDULUM – merging the universes of MH 925 and Åsa Stenerhag 

PENDULUM – merging the universes of MH 925 and Åsa Stenerhag “I was very inspired by Åsa’s exhibition and immediately recognised the ring-like forms within her sculptures. I felt a kinship in her design language. It resonated with me. It was clear she would be the perfect collaborator to create jewellery,” says Marie Häger, founder of the Scandinavian jewellery brand MH 925. The idea for the collaboration was born at Åsa Stenerhag’s exhibition at Collection Apart. Known for merging Scandinavian minimalism with a bold, conceptual aesthetic, MH 925 focuses on handcrafted pieces made to order in Stockholm from recycled sterling silver. Stenerhag, a multidisciplinary artist and designer educated at Beckmans School of Design, brings a sculptural sensibility honed through her work with Filippa K, Totême and BITE Studios, as well as collaborations with Jil Sander, Rörstrand and Julia Hetta. The resulting collection, Pendulum, includes necklaces, earrings, and a ring – all handcrafted in sterling silver. The sphere takes centre stage, with designs exploring form, balance, and proportion. “When Marie approached me with the idea of a collaboration, I immediately felt a spark in our conversation – an energy that, to me, is essential to the creative process and ultimately the final result. There was a mutual understanding and a deep respect for each other’s fields,” says Åsa Stenerhag. Handcrafted in Stockholm and true to MH 925’s ethos of slow, non-seasonal production, Pendulum explores the purity of the sphere and the harmony that arises from shifting proportions and scale. Designed to be worn alone or layered, the pieces are adaptable, personal, and will stand the test of time.

Ruby by Estrid — A Midnight Ritual 

Ruby by Estrid — A Midnight Ritual photography Alexander Urombi / Ulax Studios Some beauty launches arrive softly. Ruby does not.   Estrid’s new limited-edition drop arrives the way midnight does, slowly at first, then suddenly all at once, flooding everything in a deep cherry glow. It’s the razor and shave gel you already know, but dressed for the hours when the world exhales, perfume lingers in the air a little longer, and skin feels like its own language.   Ruby isn’t sweet. She’s satin heat, sandalwood smoke and the quiet confidence of slipping into something silk-thin while the city murmurs outside. Shaving becomes less routine, more inviting, a moment to meet yourself, unhurried, illuminated only by warm light and intention.   Shot in Paris, the campaign feels like a memory you can’t quite place: velvet nights, a spark of danger, laughter caught in a hallway somewhere between the second and third glass at hotel Costes. It’s beauty for those who believe ritual should seduce even when no one is watching.   Ruby is here for a brief moment.   Catch her before morning comes. estrid.com
