Autumn Agenda
The Things and Places to See This Season.
Words by Bella Sundström
This article contains adlinks
The season of falling leaves, scented candles and cozy evenings at home is here. So often this season becomes a stark contrast to the social and exciting time that is the summer. We bundle up in knitted sweaters and barricade in bed to binge-watch TV. We stay at home, thinking that the dark and cold mean that we can’t explore and try new things.
Meanwhile, autumn is one of the most exciting times of the year. New restaurants open and become the talk of the town, design collaborations finally landing in stores and new art exhibitions opening at galleries & museums across the Nordics.
The Nude Notes team have gathered some things we think you should keep your eyes out for this autumn. Hoping to fill this season with new experiences and new favourites. These are the things and the places to see.
1. Emberlin, Restaurant, Stockholm
Opening: end of 2026.
Multi-Michelin starred chef Björn Frantzén is opening a new restaurant in the heart of Östermalm, Stockholm. Emberlin will focus on open-fire cooking and a curated cocktail menu in the bar. Promising late nights with fire touched food and strong drinks, we will be sure to book a table as soon as they open. Perhaps for a warm date night in the cold of winter?

2. TAMBO, Restaurant, Copenhagen
Opening: end of October 2026
Former head chef of the adored Atelier September, Bernardo Consantino, is opening a new hot spot in Copenhagen. Partnering with interior designer Tilde Emborg Fossum to create a dining table that will sit at the heart of the restaurant. Communal seating, open fires and Danish produce. Is it a new jewel on the crown that is the Copenhagen food scene? Time will tell.
3. Vinbageriet, Restaurant, Stockholm
Open: Mon-Sat every week
The newly opened Vinbageriet in Stockholm is placed just behind the Hedvig Eleonora church in Östermalm. The name translates to Winebakery, quite telling of what the place aspires to be. Open from morning, serving baked goods and breakfast, to late at night serving wine and small plates of delicious Swedish contemporary food. Come for the bread, stay for the warm atmosphere. It is truly a place one can spend the whole day at.

4. Marje, Dining Experience, Helsinki
Open: Only October 2026
A restaurant that only will exist for 16 nights. Sounds like something from a fairytale. Marje is a unique dining experience that will happen in Helsinki in October. Chef Sirly Ylläsjärvi takes over the historic Meilahti Manor. A tribute to Ylläsjärvis Estonian grandmother Marje, the dinner will take place at a communal table with the aim to show that food is love. Book now before the chance is over.
Autumn Must Haves
5. Iconic Collaborations, Exhibition, Sven-Harrys Konstmuseum, Stockholm
Open: 15 October 2026 - 4 April 2027
Sven-Harrys Konstmuseum in Stockholm is opening an exhibition called “Iconic Collaborations”, bringing together some of the most talked about collaborations between international designers and H&M, showcasing the democratization of fashion. With pieces from collections designed by the likes of Karl Lagerfeld, Maison Martin Margiela and Stella Mccartney we are excited to see this exhibition with our own eyes.
6. Arcana Borealis, Exhibition, Ateneum, Helsinki
Open: 23 October 2026 - 28 February 2027
Ataneum, an art museum in Helsinki premiers a new exhibition called: Arcana Borealis – Northern Women and Esotericism. Featuring 50 female artists from the nordics the exhibition explores the spiritual side of art and art making. Combining world famous artists like Hilma af Klint with lesser known painters to show the broad spectrum of esoteric art created by women through history. It will surely be a powerful experience seeing these paintings in one place.
7. MUTE Sports, Brand Launch
Newly launched
Mute is a welcome addition to the activewear scene. Combining sport with fashion, filling a gap in the market for us who enjoy looking fashionable while working out. Founded by the couple Johanna lager, formerly Head of Brand at ATP Atelier, and Simon Freed, CFO at eyewear brand Chimi. Having strong experience in many parts of the fashion industry they have managed to create something entirely new. You will definitely see me wearing the Bedford Lace Trousers this autumn.
8. Alace, Brand Launch
Newly launched
Stockholm based creative consultant, stylist and writer Alice Ekberg Betts recently ventured into the jewelry business. The brand Alace specializes in pearl necklaces that have popped up everywhere in our feeds lately. Each necklace is handcrafted with freshwater pearls. The launch was so successful that they sold out. Thankfully they are now back in stock and I must hurry and buy them.
9. Iittala x Byredo, Design Collaboration
Launching: October 2026
The LJUS collection combines IITTALA’s impeccable glass production with BYREDO’s fine tuned eye for style and quality. A poetic collection of glasswork that is designed to work with BYREDO’s candles and incense. The collection aims to explore Nordic light as both material and subject, the result, something beautiful we want to have in our homes this autumn and winter.
10. Artek x Hender Scheme, Design Collaboration
Launching: October 2026
Bringing together the design tradition of Finland and Japan, Artek and Hender Scheme, unveil a new collection on the tenth of October. With a focus on raw materials and vegetable tanned leather, they have designed both furniture and accessories. Beautiful design and beautiful material can only result in something incredible, thus we will add the tenth to our calendars. We don’t want to miss this.
