Know before you go
Hi, I'm Eve. Here are a few practical things to know before exploring Modernity.
- Allow time to study maker marks and provenance notes; many objects carry detailed labels and staff can usually explain restoration history.
- Handle objects only when invited by staff—this preserves patina and maintains the condition of rare pieces.
- Expect premium pricing for originals; if you’re sourcing for a project, ask about delivery or shipping options in advance.

Getting There
-
Public transport (metro + walk)
Metro to Östermalmstorg or Karlaplan (service every 5–10 minutes), then a 6–12 minute walk across largely flat streets; expect an urban pavement route with occasional crowds and no special equipment required. Typical travel time from central Stockholm: 10–20 minutes; single‑ride fares in Swedish krona apply (~SEK 40–55 depending on ticket type).
-
Taxi or ride‑share
Taxi or app‑based ride takes 8–20 minutes from central locations depending on traffic; fares typically range from SEK 120–250. Note: Ópeak‑time traffic and city congestion can increase travel time and cost.
-
Walking from nearby neighbourhoods
From nearby Östermalm and Stureplan districts expect a 10–20 minute walk over paved, mostly level streets; suitable for casual strolls but not recommended for large wheeled luggage due to shop entrances and narrow pavements.

Discover more about Modernity
A focused collection of Scandinavian design
Modernity presents a small but intense assortment of mid‑20th‑century Scandinavian furniture, lighting, glass and ceramics arranged more like a private gallery than a typical retail showroom. Expect originals and rare vintage pieces from noted designers across Denmark, Sweden and Finland, alongside exceptional ceramics, glassware and smaller decorative objects that reflect the clean, functional lines and high craftsmanship that define Nordic modernism.The shop as showroom and archive
The layout is deliberately restrained: pieces are given space so you can study joinery, upholstery and patina. Larger items such as chairs, sofas and sideboards sit alongside lighting and smaller ceramics so the eye moves between scale and material—wood grains, turned metal fittings and hand‑glazed surfaces. Labels and staff knowledge often emphasise makers, dates and provenance, reinforcing the gallery‑like character and the focus on quality and authenticity.Explore the best of what Modernity has to offer
