Flokk moved to Monopolet at Rosenlundsgatan 40 in 2016. 2024 we did an update of our showroom and it was curated by design studio Hunting & Narud.
The area is today a design cluster called Stockholm Design District with a wide variety of design brands.
Short history of the building
The Tobacco Monopoly is a block on western Södermalm in Stockholm. Between 1917 and 1939 Svenska Tobaks AB built factory and office premises for its operations.
In 1924, the characteristic corner house was built at Maria Bangata / Rosenlundsgatan. The windows are predominantly low and oblong, justified by the function of storing tobacco. The tobacco layer required good ventilation, high humidity and low temperature but no large windows. In 1967, the state monopoly on production disappeared, which meant that the production of cigarettes and thus all tobacco production in the Tobacco Monopoly block was also discontinued. The buildings are preserved and have gradually been given new functions. Today, most of the block is listed as a cultural monument.
