The Icehotel in Jukkasjärvi, Sweden has introduced its lineup of 2018 Art Suite designs. This winter will mark the 28th anniversary of the hotel’s inception, which originally started out as a gallery to display local art and now doubles as a hotel for adventurous guests. Crafted entirely from ice and snow, each of the specially designed accommodations will melt into the Torne River at the end of the season.
To craft the 2018 lineup, 28 artists from 11 countries were chosen from hundreds of applicants to provide designs. The suites and their respective designers are:
Space Room from Adrian and Bois Pablo Lopez; Daily Travellers from Alem Teklu and Anne Karin Krogeveoll; Cumulus from Anna Katrin Kraus and Hans Aescht; Follow the White Rabbit from Anna Sofia Mååg and Niklas Byman; King Kong from Lkhagvadorj Dorjsuren; Queen of the North from Emilie Steele and Sebastian Dell’Uva; White Desert from Timsam Harding and Fabián Jacquet Casado; LIVQ from Fabien Champeval and Friederike Schroth; A Rich Seam from Howard Miller and Mugh Miller; Wandering Cloud from Lisa Lindqvist; Hang in There from Marjolein Vonk and Maurizio Perron; Radiance from Natsuki Saito and Shingo Saito; Monstera from Nina Kauppi and Johan Kauppi; Last Faberge Egg from Tomasz Czajkowski and Eryk Marks; and Ground Rules from Carl Wellander and Ulrika Tallving.
