Design Travel With Izabella Simmons
Almost exactly two years ago, Magnus Ek and Agneta Green opened Oaxen Krog & Slip, their twin restaurants on the island of Djurgården in the center of Stockholm. Since then, both establishments have won awards for food and design: Krog is, as of February, a Michelin two-starred dining room, and Slip, a casual bistro (and Bib Gourmand pick, Michelin's designation for standout value). Both establishments specialize in locally sourced and seasonal Nordic cooking.
The couple's adventures in the food world began 17 years ago at Oaxen Krog, a small restaurant on the island of Oaxen in Stockholm's archipelago. Magnus ran the kitchen and Agneta was a waitress (and later got her sommelier certification). They served inventive dishes using island produce and herbs, and together created a menu and an ambiance that brought guests from near and far to experience one of Sweden's most sophisticated restaurants.
The island's harsh weather, however, kept Oaxen Krog closed for much of the year, and so Magnus and Agneta decided to relocate closer to Stockholm. Their search for a site eventually led them to Gamla Djurgårdsvarvet, a crumbling shipyard on the island of Djurgården. With the help of architect Mats Fahlander, interior designer/architect Agneta Pettersson, and general contractor Einar Mattsson, they entirely rebuilt the shipyard, constructing the new on the footprint of the old—and seeing to it that the nautical spirit remains intact.

Above: The Oaxen Krog & Slip is housed inside a new corrugated metal building. A 30-foot-tall wall-to-wall window faces the marina. The exterior and interior were given a shipyard appearance.
Above: The exterior is painted a bright yellow.
Above: The interior of Slip, also known as the bistro, is filled with marine references, including boats hanging from the rafters. The turquoise-bottomed Tova, a Swedish wooden craft called a plymsnäcka, was built in 1905; the single scull at the restaurant's far end dates to 1920. Pettersson detailed the space with vintage furniture, porcelain, cutlery, and accessories. The community tables are old school desks from southern Sweden; the chairs come from a theater and are fixed to the floor.
Above: The table settings are simple and informal. The bar stools date to the 1920s and were sourced from a Copenhagen restaurant. The angled wall lights are vintage Triplex lamps by Johan Petter Johansson.
Above: At one end of the Slip, a red leather sofa made for the dining room of a food supply company stands against a white corrugated metal wall. Vintage Thonet bentwood chairs are matched with Roll Tables by Tom Dixon that have cast-iron bases with wheels. The hanging industrial pendant lamps are from the 1950s.

Above: Oaxen Krog, the more formal dining room, seats 35 and serves six- and 10-course menus paired with wines from small European ecological vineyards. All ingredients are sourced in Scandinavia and during the summer season, the kitchen staff picks wild herbs and plants on Djurgården island.
Above: The dining room walls and ceiling are covered in slatted oak panels. The built-in sofa is made of oak and leather. Local shipyard carpenters fabricated the custom tables, which are paired with a 1950s chair design that's still in production by Swedish furniture maker Wigells. Socket lamps hang from fabric cords over the tables.
Above: The Club Room, located above the restaurant, offers private events and dinners—and impressive views from a balcony of Saltsjön Bay and the island of Beckholmen. The paneled walls and ceiling are painted in a linseed oil and the glass ceiling lamps are by Massimo Vignelli for Venini. The chairs are Arne Jacobsen's Grand Prix design for Fritz Hansen, first introduced in 1957.
Above: The white-and-black-tiled bathroom has an industrial feel. It's detailed with classic porcelain Belfast sinks and faucets made from exposed copper piping. The tiles are handmade by Spanish company Decorativa.
Above: Owners Magnus and Agneta also operate a hotel ship called the Prince van Orangiën. It was built in 1935 in Holland as a combination home and office for its original owner. Photograph via Oaxen.
Above: The newly renovated ship has six guest cabins and is moored off Beckholmen island, a short distance from the restaurant. For more information and reservations, go to Oaxen Krog & Slip. Photograph via Oaxen.

Home Inspiration With Margot Guralnick
Our favorite urban answer to summer is a houseboat in Rockaway Beach, New York, that belongs to eight young creatives who pooled their resources and pulled off a weekend escape that's reachable by subway. Two of the houseboaters, Sophia Cosmadopoulos and Honora Dunham, were put in charge of furnishing the living space. By haunting Craigslist and thrift stores, they created a next-to-no-cost hangout that's all about summer ease. Here's how to get the look.
Above: Life on board revolves around the living room and kitchen. Almost everything in it was given to the group—often by houseguests—or sourced inexpensively. But the space works so well because Sophia and Honora came up with a plan: "We wanted to keep things coherent, so we went with a palette of white and orange, wood and glass," says Sophia. Photograph by Douglas Lyle Thompson for Remodelista.
Above: Sophia (who works at a nonprofit art studio for people with developmental disabilities) and Honora (a housewares buyer and social media manager for Eli Zabar) painted the bar themselves using masking tape and watered-down gray house paint—"we didn't even bother to measure." The hammock came from a friend who had no use for it in his apartment. As for the rug and ottoman: "I spent a lot of time searching for rattan on Craigslist," says Honora. For a full tour of the houseboat, go to Rehab Diary: The Ultimate Houseboat in NYC. Photograph by Douglas Lyle Thompson for Remodelista.
Furnishings
Above: A Round Jute Rug is available in six- and eight-foot sizes; $179 and $299 at Pottery Barn.
Above: The cotton rope Natural Comfort Mayan Hammock is $85.49 (down from $94.99) at Novica.
Above: The Studio One Jute Garden Chair is $295 at Lost & Found in LA. For more ideas, see 5 Favorites: Rope Chairs.
Above: Alseda, a banana fiber stool from Ikea, can be stacked to create an ottoman/side table like the one on the boat; $29.99.
Above: Made for canoeing and camping, the Folding Cane Seat is $89.99 from Chesapeake Light Craft. Oak Orchard Canoe Kayak Experts sell a similar design for $99.
Above: Honora found the houseboat's vintage stools on Craigslist, and trekked to New Jersey to retrieve them. For a similar wrought-iron design, consider the 25-inch-tall Monticello Counter Stool from Timeless Wrought Iron; $265.
Accessories
Above: Houseboaters Gabe Cohen and Jolie Signorile own the design company Fredericks & Mae, which makes this magnetic birch Travel Backgammon Set; $160. See more of their game reinventions in our post Good Sport.
Above: The kitchen is accessorized with orange Pyrex mixing bowls that Sophia and Honora have been gathering one by one from thrift stores. Burnt orange and other classic shades of Pyrex are widely available on Etsy and eBay.
Above: Fishs Eddy's 10 1/4-inch Diner White Dinner Plates are $7.95 each; other sizes and pieces available.
Above: The enamelware Fuji Red Tea and Coffee Pot from Zingerman's is made in Japan and holds 20 ounces; $65. It's also available at Labour & Wait in London for £48.
Above: This Whale Cutting Board by Sir/Madam makes a good wall decoration; $124 from Burke Decor. (For a look at the Sir/Madam line, go to Perfected Tableware from the Past and The Wooden Spoon and Other Staples, and see the owners' antiques-filled apartment in Cool and Collected.)
