Warkentin Associates is a design studio working between Los Angeles and New York, specializing in interior architecture and decoration across luxury hospitality, commercial, and residential projects.
Alma is a five-story members’ club in the heart of Stockholm, designed as a hub for creatives. Housed in the former site of Beckman’s design college, the space balances Scandinavian minimalism with a layered, lived-in sensibility—an environment that feels both refined and deeply personal.
Nathan Warkentin led the brand identity, art direction, and wayfinding, ensuring a cohesive visual language that seamlessly integrates with the club’s interiors. Nearly every piece within Alma was handmade or commissioned from local artists and craftspeople, from furniture to custom textiles and ceramics. The design direction builds on this foundation, with hand-drawn figures and organic forms echoing the nature of ideas in process—imperfect and evolving.
