ICEHOTEL
Made of ice from the pure waters of the Torne River, the ice hotel in Jukkasjärvi is built every winter and melts every summer. At Icehotel everything is made from ice, from floor to ceiling, from the beds to the bar and even the glass you drink from. You can stay in the hotel itself or in the one of the nearby cosy cabins. Outside the hotel is a myriad of activities for you to enjoy; a wilderness safari on dog sleds and snowmobiles and, if you are lucky, you might see the magical, magnificent Northern Lights. One of the delights of Lapland is its cuisine. The fells, forests, marshes, lakes and rivers of the Arctic Circle offer venison, ptarmigan and wood grouse, as well as salmon and grayling. All of which can be enjoyed at the Icehotel restaurant. The Icehotel is spectacularly and wonderfully unique and you will never forget your stay here.

Swedish design

It’s almost like the “d” in “Swedish Design” should be a capital letter given its renown the world over.

Visiting Sweden, you’ll find great Swedish design all around you. On buildings at Stadshuset, the Stockholm Library on Odengatan, the Turning Torso building in Malmö, in shops, on street signs, on road signs (the strolling elk set against a yellow background, within a red triangle) in hotels, on buses and trains and the clothes that people wear. There is much to celebrate about Swedish form and design, from the ‘Falu red” cottages of Dalarna, to the art glass and crystal of Orrefors. A visit to Sweden will inspire new ideas and you might just find yourself redecorating your home on your return.

For cool designer clothes look out for Swedish brands Odd Molly, Filippa K, WE and Björn Borg and if you want to buy jeans with a conscience check out Cheap Monday.
