The 25th Icehotel features a wide spectrum of art and design, with ideas ranging from Eastern European folk art, through to suites inspired by clock works, the Baroque and Gothic architectural eras.
“Time Piece” looks like the inner cogs and wheels of a clock, while “Prime Mate” transports the guest into a lush rainforest. In the suite “Hot Type”, guests will sleep in the midst of the printing process. A commemoration to the art of printmaking, at the same time a play on the words “Hot Type” and “Cold Setting” used in traditional printing technique and a reminder of a craft that has much been taken over by the digital world.
