During this fall, Prince Carl Philip Bernadotte and his colleague Oscar Kylberg has designed and built a suite in Icehotel 365. This is the first time that the award-winning design duo has taken on a project consisting entirely of ice and snow.

Winter is finally here and Icehotel will soon open the doors to this year's hotel. 32 artists from all over the world have traveled to Jukkasjärvi, 200 km north of the Arctic Circle, to complete this year's art suites and ice rooms. Two of these artists are Bernadotte & Kylberg.

During the autumn, the design duo has been in Jukkasjärvi, where they, together with the hotel's creative team, florist Per Benjamin, lighting designer John Pettersson and Charlotte Tentau, and sound designer Jonas Karlberg have created their suite in Icehotel 365, the hotel's year-round building. The suite is called "A midsummer night's dream" and will bring the visitor's mind on a journey to Swedish midsummer.

- The idea is that the hotel's both Swedish and international customers will experience something that is unique to Sweden and our heritage in a slightly different way. By alluding to midsummer, we create a frozen moment that the guest will get to experience. - Says Carl Philip Bernadotte and Oscar Kylberg.

For the first time in the hotel's history, a material that is not ice or snow has been used, namely flowers and plants. The flowers permeate the entire furniture, for example in the form of an ice block around the bed with birch leaves and a ceiling lamp in the form of a flower wreath. Everything in the room is reminiscent of midsummer, one of Sweden's most beloved traditions.

- We hope to be able to convey the Scandinavian feeling of nature and this unique tradition in our own artistic way. We wanted to create a concept that was based on taking in the Swedish flora and making it available all year round with the help of ice, nature's own conservation technology. - Says Carl Philip Bernadotte and Oscar Kylberg.

In addition to the art of ice and flowers, the duo has also developed a concept for sound playing in the form of buzzing bees, whistling winds, and violin playing. The sound designer Jonas Karlberg has then created a soundtrack with the aim of emphasizing the suit´s design. This together with carefully selected lighting will enhance the experience of this mysterious midsummer night filled with myths and legends.

The Bernadotte & Kylberg suite is now open and can be booked specifically, on the website or through the hotel's booking service. Some of the proceeds for this room will be donated to charity.
