Stockholm Residence of Controversial Designer Gustaf Westman Available for Rental; Paid Guests May Host Westman as Part of the Arrangement
Experience the vibrant world of homeware designer Gustaf Westman by staying in his iconic studio apartment in central Stockholm, now available through Kindred, a global home-swapping platform.
Nestled in the heart of the city, this small yet captivating space is a treasure trove of Westman's extravagant designs. The apartment is a kaleidoscope of colours, filled with his signature chunky, pastel-coloured furniture and homeware pieces, creating an immersive experience into his creative world.
The apartment is a living, breathing testament to Westman's artistic chaos, as he confesses that his home "changes all the time" and is "a full expression of my world." The books, magazines, and artworks are equally covetable, offering a glimpse into the mind of one of Sweden's most popular designers.
To book this unique stay, you must become a Kindred member and participate in their home-swapping system. This is not a traditional rental; instead, you swap homes with Westman for a mutually agreed period. Kindred’s CEO emphasizes that this initiative is about more than accommodation—it’s about experiencing another person’s creative mind and lifestyle.
Westman's designs, such as the Chunky Cup, Curvy Mirror, and Blob Sofa, have been widely shared on social media, and his collaboration with Mercedes-Benz, resulting in the surreal, candy floss pink Chunky Car, made headlines in May 2025. He also designed a Space Age-meets-Bauhaus bed for dating app Feeld and a wavy, glass-clad dressing table called "Vanity" for beauty brand Iliabeauty, unveiled in February 2025.
The kitchen in Westman's apartment is a pink dream, while the living area houses legendary collectibles such as a Michel Ducaroy-designed Ligne Roset's Togo Footstool and Small Settee, and a Vitra Akari 1AD Table Lamp. The news of an upcoming Gustaf Westman x IKEA partnership was shared in later weeks, promising even more opportunities to immerse yourself in Westman's whimsical world.
