The return to Stockholm. What started as a birthday had evolved into something with real purpose. Lussoirée II marked the shift from celebration to curated social networking, bringing together an even stronger guest profile: founders, creatives, and cultural leaders from across Scandinavia, Europe, the US, and beyond. The cake stayed, though. Some traditions are worth keeping.
The night opened with an exclusive VIP dinner at Villa Pauli, Sweden's most prestigious members club, a 1907 waterfront estate in Djursholm designed by architect Ragnar Östberg, with one of Northern Europe's finest wine cellars. From there, VIPs joined the wider guest list at Sophie's inside Bank Hotel, Stockholm's landmark 1910 former bank headquarters turned luxury hotel. The venue was spectacular enough that most guests assumed this was the event. But on one of the doors, a mysterious countdown ticked away. When it hit zero, the door opened. Guests descended a staircase through a fog-filled corridor and emerged into La Voûte, the building's original bank vault. This is where the real Lussoirée began.
Every Lussoirée features a competition that brings the entire room together. For Lussoirée II, the game was to toss a ring onto the neck of a 30L Armand de Brignac champagne bottle.
The prize: A Rolex
The winner: Kaleb Basele
Villa Pauli, Sweden's most prestigious members club, for the intimate VIP dinner. Then, Bank Hotel for the main event. Built in 1910 as Stockholm's grand banking headquarters, the building still carries its original bronze doors and Art Nouveau detailing. Guests arrived at Sophie's, Bank Hotel's stunning venue, spectacular enough that most assumed this was the event itself. But on one of the doors, a mysterious countdown ticked away. When it hit zero, the door opened. Guests descended a staircase through a fog-filled corridor and emerged into La Voûte, the building's original bank vault. This is where the real Lussoirée began.
Guests could enjoy a blackjack tournament, a fortune teller, caviar tasting, ring toss, live tattoo artists, a magician, and much more. Every corner of the evening designed to delight and draw people in.
The community grew stronger. Entrepreneurs, creatives, and visionaries from across Scandinavia, Europe, the US, and beyond, every guest personally invited or carefully vetted. A room where every introduction led somewhere worth going.
Arlin debuted tracks from his 8am album, layering deep house that filled the room without demanding it. The kind of sound that made conversations deeper and the night feel longer.
