Sandqvist x Ekstedt x C store

Together with Swedish restaurateur Niklas Ekstedt & accessory makers Sandqvist, Caliroots C Store presents a unique capsule collection celebrating the opening of Niklas' new self titled restaurant "Ekstedts".

The restaurant, which opens in mid November on Humlegårdsgatan in Stockholm, is given a distinct, lodge-like wooden decor & draws inspiration from Basque quisine, with cooking concentrated on a large open fire grill.

Niklas wanted the staff to wear aprons that matched the enviroment of the restaurant & came to us at the C Store for help. We suggested a collaboration with Swedish accesories & bag-makers Sandqvist, which we thought would be an excellent choice for Ekstedts with their rugged canvas & leather accessories.

Consisting of a chef apron & knife case produced by Sandqvist using rugged cotton canvas & oiled leather detailing. Designed with the help of Niklas Ekstedt, whos expertise & long experience in kitchen work has set the standard, the collection perfectly matches the rustic nature of "Ekstedts" & the aprons will be worn by the staff at the restaurant.

"The robust & simplistic design of Sandqvist was exactly what I was looking for. The aprons came out so good that I decided to use them for the staff at Restaurang 1900 aswell. Being part of the design process was something I really enjoyed!" says Niklas Ekstedt about the collaboration.
