“Flight routes”, created by LED in combination with fiber-optic decorates the hotel’s entrance and the lobby is transformed into a transit hall featuring a 9 meter long sofa shaped as an airport baggage belt. 100 “light” suitcases hanging from the ceiling adds to the atmosphere of being on the move as well as details such as key cards, drink list and dinner menus.

”I’m very proud and regard this opportunity to be seen at Nordic Light Hotel during Stockholm Design Week as a challenge. I have always been fascinated by the hotel milieu and I wanted to create an exhibition that links us to the physical setting. The hotel is a temporary home when you’re on the move. At the same time it’s a venue for new meetings between people, each with their own story and personal situation in their baggage,” says Alexander Lervik.

The installation is being constructed in partnership with Johanson Design, Finnish SAAS Instruments and Belgian Dark.
