Located at the vibrant Hötorget in central Stockholm, Haymarket by Scandic is a hotel where the glamour and optimism of the early 20th century meet contemporary urban life. Housed in the historic PUB building, the hotel draws inspiration from the golden age of cinema, fashion, and grand social gatherings, creating a richly layered and theatrical atmosphere.

Made Specific delivered bespoke lighting solutions designed to support the hotel’s distinctive identity and cinematic character. The lighting was developed as an integral part of the interior concept enhancing both the preserved architectural details and the hotel’s modern, cosmopolitan expression.

In the guest rooms, custom-made bedside lamps provide warm, focused light that creates an intimate and restful atmosphere. Carefully balanced between function and mood, the lamps allow guests to read, unwind, or simply enjoy the ambience of the space. Their refined finishes and understated design complement the deep colour palette and tactile materials used throughout the rooms, adding a subtle sense of luxury.

For the hotel’s conference and event spaces, Made Specific developed bespoke lighting solutions that respond to the rooms’ flexible nature. The lighting supports a wide range of uses, from meetings and presentations to larger events and social gatherings, while maintaining visual comfort and a cohesive aesthetic. Soft, even illumination enhances the architectural framework and ensures that the spaces remain adaptable without compromising atmosphere.

Through tailored lighting design, Made Specific has contributed to a cohesive hotel experience where light plays a key role in storytelling. At Haymarket by Scandic, illumination becomes more than a functional necessity—it helps shape mood, highlight history, and frame moments in a setting where classic elegance meets contemporary city life.
