Together with Skuggan Arkitekter, HAHA Studio was commissioned to design a series of chandeliers for Boqueria restaurant in central Stockholm. Reflecting the restaurant’s Spanish-inspired identity and Gaudí-influenced aesthetics. The collection includes a large Gothic-style centrepiece (Ø130 cm) and four smaller chandeliers.

Process

The main challenge was to develop the internal structure in a way that would support rather than distract from the chandeliers’ outer form and visual character. Equally important was balancing the light distribution, ensuring it harmonized with the restaurant’s dim, atmospheric interior. The project included:

  • Four smaller chandeliers and one large central piece with Gothic influences, measuring nearly 130 cm in diameter.
  • Custom amber-tinted acrylic, specially produced in Germany, featuring a unique texture that diffuses a warm and inviting light.
  • An exclusive bronze lacquer with a textured finish, accentuating the handcrafted details.

Result

The result is a set of handcrafted, technically refined luminaires that are not only visually striking but also structurally innovative, balancing aesthetic expression and functionality. They define the entrance space and contribute to Boquerian’s warm and welcoming atmosphere.
