Bonnierhuset, Office tower in central Stockholm, Sweden
Bonnierhuset is a 62-meter-high office building in central Stockholm with yellow brick facades arranged in a grid pattern across its 21 floors. The regular window layout creates a rhythmic appearance that defines the tower's visual character.
The building was completed in 1949 as Sweden's first concrete skyscraper built after World War II, designed by architects Ivar and Anders Tengbom. Its construction marked a turning point in the city's post-war development and modern architecture.
The building originally housed editorial offices and printing works for the Åhlén & Åkerlund publishing company, reflecting Stockholm's growth as a media hub. Today, it continues to serve as a workspace for various businesses that shape the commercial rhythm of the area.
The building is located near S:t Eriksplan at Torsgatan 21 and is easily accessible by public transport. The art gallery on the upper terrace offers a visitor-friendly entry point to explore the building and its surroundings.
In 2006, the building's open terrace was transformed into Bonniers konsthall, an art gallery showcasing contemporary works. This conversion blends the building's commercial past with a new cultural purpose that visitors can experience today.
