Claesson Koivisto Rune

Fittingly, the artistic theme chosen by designer/architects Claesson Koivisto Rune for the hotel and its facilities is “fog.” The word aptly describes the hotel’s soft color scheme, enchanting maritime surroundings and peaceful atmosphere naturally lending itself to contemplation. Surrounded by white light and solid colors, many guests report Skeppsholmen’s calming affects upon their senses, while Swedish natives view the islet itself as an urban oasis in the middle of their capital.

Celebrated and award-winning designer & architect trio Claesson Koivisto Rune where the first Swedish architects ever to be exhibited in the international section of the Venice Architecture Biennale (2004). Among their commissions are houses such as the Sfera building in Kyoto, interiors such as the Operakällaren gourmet restaurant in Stockholm, as well as designs for manufacturers like Cappellini and Iittala.
