Artipelag

After the buzz of Stockholm, we retreated back to the calmer waters along the southern end of Boo and along some of the prettiest channels through to the beautiful setting of Artipelag on the island of Värmdö
Artipelag is an international place of art, culture, design and good food.
Björn Jakobson, founder of the renowned company BabyBjörn, envisioned creating a beautiful venue for art and cultural experiences in the Stockholm Archipelago combined with his deep appreciation for nature with his wife Lillemor’s background in art and design after many successful years in Swedish business , Artipelag is the result of their vision.

A beautiful mix of art, culture, architecture, and Swedish design, and it's very relaxing.
Johan Nyrén was tasked with designing Artipelag. His fundamental idea was to include four elements: fire, earth, air and water. Well, he certainly nailed that idea.

The long coastal boardwalk is completely in harmony with nature, with tree trunks having carefully been cut around along the way.

On reaching the large building and stepping inside the architecture is special. Nature's influence throughout with roof top terrace and flowering beds with beehives . Fantastic views and perfectly positioned sculptures. Staircases and restaurant worked around the massive Gneiss rock face or ’båda’ in local archipelago-language that emerges out of the floor structure has been eroded to a beautiful rounded shape by the ice age .

Open air sculptural artworks are dotted around the large area of land. Right down to the seafront.

Solar Egg sculpture perched by the water edge at Artipelag was much larger than I thought it would be, even though it could be seen a long way off on the approach to the island. We both admired it, although both wanted it to be named the Golden Goose Egg.

Whilst I got to go and immerse myself in the world of couture, Ron headed back to Whisper.
Having lived out of a bag and a handful of clothes for about a month, it felt even more like an alien world.Baca lagi
