Jacob Egeberg Acne Studios’ Stockholm HQ combines brutalist-retro architecture with Swedish simplicity and luxury. Raw concrete, sculptural furniture, and artistic details create a timeless, playful space where the building’s history and Acne’s aesthetic converge – a clear example of how fashion and retail aesthetics are translated into interior design.

BJARKE INGELS Ensamble are material explorers. Whether stacking prefabricated concrete elements, casting concrete in craters, or using steel studs as formwork, it is always construction as performance. With Can Terra they have inhabited an abandoned stone quarry in Menorca, reducing their intervention to the bare minimum. Cleaning the walls, leveling the floors, inserting the minimal enclosures for safety and climate control, they are the architectural equivalent of cave dwellers. The result feels like an archetypical form of architecture - found rather than formed, inhabited rather than predetermined.
