Acne Studios

The refurbishment follows the brand’s global store ethos, where each location makes individual use of the Acne Studios design language. The store’s location is a historical site in Stockholm: a former bank where four employees were held hostage in 1973. After their release, the hostage’s positive feelings towards their captor led to the coining of the phrase “Stockholm Syndrome”.

The material is adapted from the site's history: a former bank where, in 1973, a famous robbery and hostage-taking gave the name to the psychological response known as Stockholm Syndrome. The investigation into marble was given its centrepiece, five oversized tables, by long-term Acne Studios collaborator Max Lamb.
