Kapsylen, Cultural venue in Södermalm, Stockholm, Sweden

Kapsylen is a work collective housed in the former Svenska Kapsylfabriken factory at Tjärhovsgatan 44–46 on Södermalm. The building, completed in 1900 to drawings by Ullrich & Hallquisth, now holds architects, photographers, ceramicists, a mask workshop, a preschool and the café and music stage Kafé 44 on the ground floor.

The building was completed in 1900 for Aktiebolaget Svenska Kapsylfabriken, designed by Ullrich & Hallquisth, where workers made and painted bottle caps and foil paper. Production ended in 1966, and after Hans Olof Jarnhammar bought the house in 1975, the Kapsylen work collective was founded in 1976 and took over the property.

The venue draws artists and creative professionals who display their work and collaborate on projects together. Visitors encounter active artistic production and can engage directly with the local creative community.

Kapsylen occupies the former Svenska kapsylfabriken building at Tjärhovsgatan 44-46 on Södermalm; the entrance to Kafé 44 is on the ground floor, and the upper floors hold studios and workshops that are not all open to visitors. Check opening times before setting out, since several activities run on their own schedules.

Kafé 44 occupies the ground floor of the former Svenska Kapsylfabriken, not the basement, and it is a café with concerts on Scen 44 rather than a bookstore. The building also houses a parent-run preschool, Korken, and the rehearsal studio of the band Weeping Willows.
