Portal

”Finally, I was able to bring life to a holistic gastronomic concept for Portal - a dream of mine. The new, open kitchen and spaces for gathering make everything meld together in a living, intimate way among chefs, serving staff and guests. It offers another realm of socialising and inclusion. We can take care our guests in a much better way, from the minute they come in, takes a seat at the bar and eventually leave the restaurant. The open kitchen enables us to demonstrate the artistry that goes into our cooking.”

Portal is owned and run by Klas Lindberg. When he started the restaurant in 2016, the starting point was that it would be a timeless, accessible and sustainable concept with well-cooked, uncomplicated food where the taste is in focus. And he has succeeded. Stolab's chairs Hundranian and Miss Holly bar stools have been there since the start.

”My thought from the very beginning was to bring the same high demands we impose on our food into our interior design. Therefore, we have put such an emphasis on selecting sustainable materials and timeless design. We want to be characterised by continuity through time. Wood and natural stone are used consistently on our premises. In addition to expanding the premises, we have also updated the original restaurant for even more comfort and wellbeing. Here we have kept Stolab’s furniture. Stolab’s Hundranian chair is an excellent fit for our restaurant. It is easy to move and stack, which is an absolute necessity as we are constantly moving tables and chairs to suit our bookings. And despite many years of use, these chairs still look great.” / Klas Lindberg, owner Portal
