As a PR expert in the field of design, Hans Hjelmqvist works with the some of the world’s leading brands. The co-owner and CEO of Swedish PR agency Grand Relations, Hans’ knowledge and appreciation for timeless design carries through to his home which is located in a radically transformed 1897 factory in the heart of Stockholm. Bringing a warm and refined contrast to the rawness of the building while enhancing the four meter high ceiling and full height windows, Hans worked closely with interior designer Madeleine Asplund Klingstedt to realise his vision. Warm white walls and natural oak flooring provide the perfect backdrop for a carefully curated collection of design pieces.
