Brasserie Sture
Where a classic restaurant meets the present day.
At a historic address in the heart of Malmö lies Brasserie Sture 1912. Its story dates back to 1912, when Nils Jönsson founded Sturehof, which moved to Adelgatan 13 in 1915 – the same address where the restaurant remains today. The premises, once home to Savoy’s silent cinema, soon became a classic meeting place for the city’s cultural circles.
After almost a century of changes in name and concept, the current owners saw the potential of the then-empty premises in 2020 and set out to restore its former charm. Together with architect Jonas Lindvall, they created a timeless and relaxed brasserie interior rooted in the building’s history.
Since 2021, guests have once again been able to take a seat – on chairs from Stolab – and enjoy classic dishes in an environment where the past remains clearly present.

Brand new, yet preserved.
Together with his colleagues at Lindvall Arkitekter AB, Carl Tengström and Garo Chahbandarian, the entire layout and interior of the restaurant were redesigned, with shades of brown, green and orange setting the tone.
“We have changed most things, but kept what has always been characteristic of the space – namely the exceptionally beautiful glass ceiling with its fleur-de-lis motifs, along with the original cornices and stucco details. The large arched windows by the entrance have also been preserved, creating a stronger connection to the pulse of the city while making the restaurant feel more open and inviting. It should feel easy to simply drop in.”
Simplicity meets classic elegance.
The simplicity of the long, built-in banquettes and small tables is balanced by the classic elegance of the four-metre-long bar, crafted from solid Giallo Reale Rosso marble. Add a continuous mosaic floor with an inlaid logo, and the influences from Southern European interiors become clear.
The walls are clad in brown-stained oak panelling, and the same brown-stained, oiled oak is also used in the furniture supplied by Stolab.
Martin Johansson, CEO of Stolab, says: “It has been incredibly rewarding to be involved from the very beginning and to contribute to creating such a distinctive environment. We worked closely with Jonas and his team throughout the project. When we meet and discuss this, as well as other projects, the conversation often turns to food and dining experiences. Here, we were able to bring together our shared passions for furniture, interiors and food in one project – Sture 1912.”
The same theme that runs through the interior is also reflected in the menu, which offers contemporary food and drink with roots in European restaurant culture. In true Scanian spirit, restaurateur and maître d’ David Kallós serves well-prepared, good-value food that leaves guests both satisfied and happy. Nothing more complicated than that.

Miss Button bar stool
Jonas Lindvall, architect: “We wanted backless bar stools to create a more open and flexible seating arrangement at the bar. This made Stolab’s Miss Button bar stool an excellent choice. The Hundranian chairs, in a combination of brown oak and green leather seats, are also very well suited to the timeless yet distinctive character we wanted to create and establish as a signature for the brasserie.”
For the project, Stolab supplied Miss Button bar stools in oiled, brown-stained oak and Hundranian chairs in oiled, brown-stained oak with green leather seats. The restaurant has approximately 60 seats, including the bar stools.
