Villa La Poste
Introduction The Poste Saint-Aubin post office building is right in the centre of Toulouse, a stone’s throw from the Canal du Midi and the Thêatre de la Cité national theatre, in a district that is undergoing a major transition towards the technologies of the future (start-ups and innovative companies such as La Cantine Numérique, La Mêlée Numérique, and La Crypte Saint-Aubin).

Carousel
Carousel, with interiors by Tengbom, is a restaurant in magnificent and vibrant premises on Gustav Adolfs square in Stockholm, opposite the Royal Opera House.
The people behind the restaurant are restaurateurs Lukas Moderato, Robin Moderato and Christopher Ellertsson. Robin Moderato was previously a member of the trio behind restaurants Vassa Eggen and Boqueria which also have interiors by Tengbom.
Carousel is a lively restaurant which references its historic environment while evoking a sense of new life, both in the premises and the area around Gustav Adolfs square. The design work was carried out in close cooperation with the owners, who have given the whole concept their personal touch.
Our architects enjoyed an invigorating pr... More
