GINNUNGAGAP

PLEASE SWEEP INTO THE SKY OVER GINNUNGAGAP

Looking at Swedish Lapland from the sky, one is struck by a strong presence of lakes and a mountainous topography. Here, traces of earth's several evolutions and of glacial melting are particularly noticeable. We would like to highlight this vast nature for the Icehotel 32.

Ginnungagap miniaturises a part of the surrounding Arctic landscape into a room. It tells us a story about the origin of our environment. While walking in a cave surrounded by frozen rivers, lakes and mountains, architectural creatures can be discovered. Each one offers various possibilities of interactions. Feel free to try.

Based currently in Paris, the studio experiments a playful and relaxed style of spatial interventions that at the same time investigates structural and symbolic aspects of primitive architecture. For the construction of the room Ginnungagap, Noël Picaper architect is working with Louis Lair de la Motte, a french cabinet maker based in Laval, and with Marion Jamault, an illustrator and film director. The three have already collaborated on several projects in the past.
