Matchstick Palace, Administrative building in central Stockholm, Sweden.
The Matchstick Palace is an administrative building in central Stockholm featuring a horseshoe-shaped inner courtyard defined by Corinthian columns. The ground level facades are clad in marble sourced from Kolmården.
The building was constructed between 1926 and 1928 as headquarters for Svenska Tändsticks AB under the direction of industrialist Ivar Kreuger. It reflects the peak era of the Swedish matchstick industry during that period.
The building displays artworks by Swedish artists, including the Diana fountain sculpture by Carl Milles and paintings by Isaac Grünewald. These pieces are distributed throughout different spaces and shape the interior of the space.
The building is located at Västra Trädgårdsgatan 15 and operates today as a members club, co-working space, and conference center. Visitors can explore the rooms and courtyard when using the space for events or tours.
The board meeting room is shaped as a segment of a circle and hangs with paintings by Isaac Grünewald. The building also held a match museum with over a thousand objects, at the time the only one of its kind in the world.
