Treehotel Sweden impresses through architecture and design

P1040116

In our feature on last week, we took you on a tour of room 7, the most recent room designed by Norwegian architecture firm Snøhetta. There are, however, six more stunning structures built deep in the birch forests of the Treehotel Sweden. Let us take you on a magical tour of these architectural masterpieces.

First up is Mirrorcube, designed by Bolle Tham and Martin Videgård. The structure is entirely clad in mirrored glass, giving the impression of seeing stairs that lead nowhere.

The Dragonfly room is the second largest room at The Treehotel, which can accommodate six guests. The structure is entirely built-in wood with a corten steel facade giving a nice worn look. The design is by Finnish architect firm Rintala Eggertsson.

Right next to it, you can see a bright red room standing out through its simplicity. The room is a traditional wooden construction clad with pine shingles and painted bright red. The design is by architect Thomas Sandell from SandellSandberg.

The Cabin is shaped like a capsule floating between the trees and the first room you see when walking up the slope to the other rooms. The design is by Mårten and Gustav Cyrén from Cyrén & Cyrén.

The UFO is the polar opposite of a room like the Mirrorcube, which is perfectly blending in with the surroundings. A floating UFO is the most unexpected thing in a forest but a crowd pleaser and highly popular with guests. The design is by Bertil Harström, who also designed the bird’s nest room, which is the perfect camouflage for staying unnoticed.

In conclusion, if you have time left on your Sweden trip, then you should definitely consider a trip up North. A stopover at Treehotel Sweden will surely remain one of those unique memories which you can’t stop telling your friends about.

It is no secret that Paris has been the capital of fashion since the seventeenth century. The city has been the playground for prestigious designers and couture brands like Chanel, Dior, and Saint Laurent. Today the Parisian style is not only an aesthetic choice but a philosophy. It embraces elegance, timelessness, and slow responsible fashion. The focus is on the cut and the quality of the materials. No fluff or excessiveness with a less is more approach. And what better way to understand Parisian fashion than to visit a museum dedicated to it.

For more than 70 years, the house has been crafting magical couture pieces in their atelier at 30 Avenue Montaigne in Paris. Christian Dior has made this location a legendary address since the first collection in 1947. Behind its new flagship, the House of Dior inaugurates a permanent exhibition in an extraordinary gallery, independently of its boutique. Mr. Dior wanted to be an architect; the building and the museum pay him a beautiful tribute today.

The staging is astonishing. A circular staircase at the entrance showcases 452 dresses and 1,422 accessories, all 3D printed. Bags, shoes, perfumes, and small objects: so many testimonies of the Dior style materialized to elaborate this Diorama.
