30 Best Architecture Firms in Sweden

Nowadays, Swedish architectural design often goes hand in hand with IKEA. Still, the design of modular furniture, which has undeniably revolutionised the way people set up the interior of their homes, is not this country’s only architectural breakthrough. Since the early 20th century, Sweden has pioneered in combining artistry and aesthetics with functionality and human comfort.

The country’s contemporary signature architecture usually adopts a minimal approach to design, the use of wood — the country’s most popular and locally sourced material — and the creation of almost ethereal spaces filled with natural light. Projects such as the Turning Torso in Malmö and The Sauna in Frihamnen, Gothenburg, are some of the most iconic and unconventional architectural landmarks in the country. Admittedly, Sweden is one of the few countries that has managed to recontextualize the modernist movement in order to reflect its distinctive cultural, ecological and social features. Through their designs, architects have managed to “soften” the harsh lines and sharp corners of traditional Modernism and reinvent their own architectural Swedish-modern expression.

With so many architecture firms to choose from, it’s challenging for clients to identify the industry leaders that will be an ideal fit for their project needs. Fortunately, Architizer is able to provide guidance on the top design firms in Sweden based on more than a decade of data and industry knowledge.
