Informally called "the lipstick" by the local, it features a viewing platform (Götheborgsutkiken) at 86 metres, which offers great views over the city.
The Lilla Bommen, commonly referred to as Läppstiftet, is an 86 m, 22-floor building housing office, networking and restaurant spaces in Gothenburg, Sweden, named after the surrounding location of Lilla Bommen. The building's distinct post-modern architectural style, popularly referred to as "The Lipstick" due to its distinctive red-and-white colour schematic, was erected on the banks of Göta älv in 1989 by Skanska Property West AB. The 32000 sqm office space which houses over 900 office workers, is a popular tourist destination for its top-floor lookout, Götheborgs Utkiken and restaurants such as the Restuarang Läppstiftet, has contributed to the landmark status of the building in the Central Gothenburg skyline.
