The story of Lux

Lux occupies one of the old workshop buildings on Lilla Essingen. The building dates from 1916 and was put up for Aktiebolaget Lux; it later served as the staff canteen for Electrolux and is now a listed building.

As Lux Stockholm, the restaurant was run by chefs Peter Johansson and Henrik Norström together with their wives. Dagens Industri named it its business restaurant of the year in 2003, and it held a Michelin star from 2004 to 2013.

In 2013 Lux Stockholm closed and reopened as Lux Dag för Dag, a bistro without the luxury trappings, cooking from whatever is in season. In summer there are tables on the veranda looking out over Lake Mälaren.

Times look wrong, for example because the terrace is on the other side of the building? Fix the location in OpenStreetMap and Stoligt will follow at the next update.

How Stoligt works it out

Every ten minutes we draw a line from each terrace toward the sun and check whether a building or hill is tall enough to block it. Building heights come from OpenStreetMap and ground heights from Lantmäteriet, the Swedish mapping agency. The times assume a clear day, so clouds are not included here. They are on the live map, which shows today's weather.

Trees, parasols and awnings are not in the model, and we don't know exactly where on the pavement the tables stand. Treat the times as an educated guess, often accurate to within ten minutes.
