50 WINTER 2026 Emerging furniture designer Sara Ullvetter occupies the ultimate Rooms read in many ways. Some seem populated, fleshed out with things. Others appear more inscribed, cast with the clarity of typeface but infused with the grace of script – testaments to a rationale, yet bearing the touch of a hand. Such is the home of furniture designer Sara Ullvetter, a penthouse in a 19th-century building in the center of Stockholm. “I try to create a sense of balance in the imperfect,” explains Ullvetter. “There are no strong colors or patterns anywhere, no decoration other than the material’s own character as it appears in the light from the windows. Hidden functions and storage solutions allow beautiful original details, such as the rough-plastered walls and the new checkered oak floor, to stand out all the more clearly. I’ve tried to create a neutral palette where the light can play on the surfaces and the furniture and objects can harmonize with each other without taking too much focus.” DESIGN DISRUPTOR TEXT THOMAS CONNORS PHOTOGRAPHY JOHAN SELL É N STYLIST GILL RENLUND INTERIOR DESIGN SARA ULLVETTER expression of her singular style 1
