Lars Åkerlund
I am a driven serial entrepreneur who devotes my entire professional life to the creation and operation of new companies and operations, both within Sweden and New York. After 15 exciting years as founder and CEO of the Swedish cafe chain FIKA, I have built up a network of contacts all over the US, and through this network have been able to assist several companies in establishing themselves on the American market. I help my clients with everything from finding the ultimate venue, contract writing and building engineers, as well as navigating current laws and regulations and the many permits that are often required. With my solid experience in scaling and streamlining companies in the F&B industry. Today I mainly work as a consultant but also as a Tenant Rep for several Swedish companies in various industries.
My strength lies in helping companies of different sizes understand how to maximize their capacity, the importance of constantly adapting to deal with different challenges, as well as how to build a strong brand and establish a concept with the intention of national or international. My passion is simply to find and choose the right path in all the challenges, opportunities and adventures an entrepreneurial life inevitably offers.

FABRIQUE
ARTISAN BAKERY
Natural materials, soft textures, and a restrained palette create an atmosphere that feels both refined and welcoming, allowing the products and everyday rituals of the space to take center stage. The design balances Scandinavian-inspired simplicity with the vibrant character of the neighborhood, shaping an environment that encourages slowing down, gathering, and experiencing the bakery beyond the act of purchase.
Careful attention was given to the relationship between functionality and atmosphere, creating a spatial experience that feels intuitive, calm, and authentic. Subtle lighting, tactile surfaces, and thoughtfully composed details work together to support both the operational rhythm of the bakery and the sensory experience of its visitors, resulting in a space that feels timeless yet deeply connected to its urban context.
