ART SUITE NÄCKEN

DESIGN TJÅSA GUSFORS & SAM GUSFORS | ICEHOTEL 35 | AVAILABLE DECEMBER 2024 - APRIL 2025

You are invited to a meeting with the magical underwater world of the Nixie.

The Nixie is an aquatic creature, living next to streams and dangerous bodies of water. He appears as a beautiful young man, and a certain sign of his presence are waterlilies. With his seductive violin-playing and supernatural force he can lure both children and young women down into the deep waters, singing and playing his magical songs.

Fall asleep in a bed surrounded by waterliles and parts of the Torne River. Let yourself be rocked to sleep by seductive music created by the artists of the suite.
