Apartment in Bohemian Bourgeois Style in Stockholm

This 93 square meter apartment in the center of Stockholm, Sweden fully embodies the lifestyle of the new class—boho, or bohemian bourgeoisie, as described in the book by American sociologist and journalist David Brooks titled Bobo in Paradise: Where the New Elite Comes From.

The elite of the 21st century combines democratic ideals with snobbery, a desire for creative self-expression and love for bourgeois comfort, which is a result of the information age that allows making large sums of money from ideas and knowledge.

The architectural volumes of the apartment retain the classical character of a solid bourgeois home, while its interior reflects the bohemian carelessness of its inhabitants: exotic artifacts from travels, wooden countertops, and a fragment of an unfinished wall, as if the residents didn't have enough tiles to cover it all.
