Detail from a classic Stockholm building at Smålandsgatan. Built in 1899, designed by Ludvig Peterson. He was inspired by Venetian architecture. The property was owned by a society of famous artists at the time. KB was short for Konstnärernas buffet. The artist's buffet. Also known as Konstnärsbaren. At first, they served only sandwiches, but when the artists got bored with that, they decided to open a real restaurant. Ten well known painters helped out with the interior design. One of them Isaac Grünewald. Owners have come and gone. Today, part of a group that operates five well-known eateries around Stockholm.
