Holy Greens

Holy Greens R28 is part of the major revitalization of Klarakvarteren in central Stockholm, where Regeringsgatan, between Hamngatan and Gustav Adolfs Torg, is being transformed through ongoing renovations and expansions. As one of the previously overlooked connections between Norrmalm and Gamla Stan is strengthened, new pedestrian movement patterns are emerging in the city’s urban core.

The interior design of Holy Greens R28 reflects the brand’s philosophy: combining simple, natural ingredients in innovative ways. This approach is mirrored in the spatial layout, where a curated material palette—oak wood, green granite, metal, concrete, and living plants—forms the foundation for a series of large-scale custom furniture pieces. These sculptural installations define various spatial zones and seating arrangements within the 80-square-meter restaurant, optimizing flow and comfort in a compact space.

Historic elements such as the original terrazzo flooring and concrete ceiling beams have been carefully restored, creating a visual dialogue with the green-plastered walls and contemporary detailing.

Outside, a newly designed outdoor dining area lines the wide sidewalk, shaped by pill-shaped concrete planters that are distinctive to this section of Regeringsgatan. The outdoor furniture, made entirely of green-painted steel, forms a cohesive, sculptural unit that integrates seating, tables, and recycling in one continuous element. It offers guests a protected, inward-facing dining environment amidst the vibrant urban surroundings.
