Kristallvertikalaccent, Television tower in Stockholm, Sweden
Kristallvertikalaccent is a television tower in Stockholm that rises 118 meters and stands on three steel tubes arranged in a triangular formation. These tubes create the main structural system that supports the entire broadcasting facility.
The tower was built in 1974 when Sweden expanded its broadcasting infrastructure across the country. This project provided improved radio and television transmission capabilities for the Stockholm region.
The tower combines functional broadcasting requirements with architectural artistry, representing Swedish design principles through its geometric forms and structural elements.
You can take high-speed elevators to the observation deck and see across Stockholm's cityscape and waterways from above. On clear days, the views extend across much of the urban area and surrounding landscapes.
The three steel tubes are not merely structural but form an intentional geometric shape that creates a distinct visual landmark across the city. Many visitors overlook how this triangular design was deliberately chosen to make the tower recognizable from multiple viewpoints.
