PREMIERE! Jokes Aside Cocktail Bar

Opens on June 24 at Regeringsgatan 52. Stop by and experience it for yourself.

In a collaboration between AMF Fastigheter, VERK, and award-winning bartender Johan Evers, the venue is being built and designed as far as possible using Swedish raw materials and materials refined in Sweden.

Swedish oak from KG List, crafted into furniture by Enströms Möbler AB and Lammhults Snickeri AB. Bricks from the historic Horns Tegelbruk in Västergötland. Particleboard from Byggelitgruppen AB. Clay plaster and masonry by Brukspecialisten AB. Leather from Tärnsjö Garveri AB, refined by Kallfeldts Läder AB. Kolmården marble from Borghamns Stenförädling AB and quartzite from Älvdalen supplied by Wasasten of Sweden AB.
Our own wool textile, developed together with Ingegerd Råman, made from yarn produced by Ullkontoret on Gotland and woven at Väveriet in Bollnäs. Needle felt from Nordifa throughout the upholstery. Custom metal details manufactured by EVI Industries AB.

The reality is that building with Swedish materials is entirely possible. It simply demands a little more effort, a little more curiosity, and a willingness to look beyond the easiest option.

Perhaps it’s time to rethink what we associate with quality, exclusivity, and beauty. A handcrafted brick wall or a simple grey wool fabric may not fit the conventional image of luxury, yet these materials often carry far greater authenticity, longevity, and environmental value than veneered MDF clad in imported plush textiles and finished with brass details shipped halfway across the world.

Material choices shape how we experience a space, whether we notice them or not.

When you visit a restaurant, do you pay attention to what things are actually made of? And what does luxury mean to you today?

Considering linseed oil for an oak table? This is everyday use

Linseed oil is used to protect the oak while keeping the surface close to its natural feel.

Instead of creating a thick coating on top of the wood, the oil is absorbed into the material, bringing out the grain, colour variations and depth that make oak unique.

The result is a surface that feels warm, natural and develops character over time.
