The incredible French artist and designer Antoine Wygand has teamed up with architect Ronald Toupet to design a room at the Swedish Icehotel of Jukkasjarvi. They have (appropriately) named the room "Diamond genesis" as they worked the ice into shapes playing on the prism of a diamond's gloss and transparency. They carved the room out of a shell of ice and even made the bedframe and furniture out of ice - incredible! The room is stark and cold, and I could never have it as a full-time thing, however the idea of a night (or two) in a room and hotel made of ice is so cool! Have you ever stayed at an ice hotel? I would love to hear what that is like!
Wow - that is straight out of a James Bond movie
ReplyDeleteThis is incredibly cool, although I'm not sure if those ice age temperatures can encourage intimacy .. regardless of the furry throw :-)

The pictures look really stunning and cool and so it's definitly worth a visit ... but I'm not quite sure about staying over night there.
