Creators Only

I'm sure you've been to a lot of store-in-stores and pop-up stores these days, but have you heard of a hotel-in-hotel? There is one called Creators Inn by Elvine and the hotel-in-hotel is inside Hotel Scandic Malmen in Stockholm. It's not just a hotel room for anybody, it's only opened for a limited time- from August 1 to September 13, and get this, it's free, if you're a designer of some sort! You have to register for it and explain what kind of creative things you'll be doing during your stay how you can benefit from this trip. I would imagine that it's not easy to be selected for a free stay since it's only open for a few weeks. Let's take a look at the room:

It's not just a room, it's the size of a nice hotel suite, with a living room, a study, and a bedroom. The decor is cozy, simple and fun, kind of like the Ace Hotel. I really like the rugs in the living room.

The hotel also provides a list of contacts that you can call up if you need someone to go out with. There are also clothes and bike rental available for use. Great ideas!!! I would love to see this concept appear in other cities soon, even if they charge for the room, it would still work and be in high demand.

The Shoreditch House

To continue with my Tom Dixon Craze, I need to mention his recent project, the Shoreditch House. An extension to the successful member's only club the Soho House in London and New York, the Shoreditch House is designed by Dixon. You can see that most of the rooms are furnished by Dixon's ultra-cool and innovative designs, he transformed a warehouse in London's hottest and edgiest neighborhood into an eclectic and luxurious private club featuring a bowling alley and game room, old-fashioned fun!photos: Shoreditch House
