Looking for the ultimate experience in scandinavian design? Well this new hotel will get you close! Clarion Hotel Sign just opened its doors at the beggining of the month. All 10 floors (and 558 rooms, making it the largest hotel in Stockholm’s largest hotel, by the way) are decked out in scandinavian designer themes. For example, floors 6 – 10 are complete with furniture by Arne Jacobson, while the 3rd floor is a collaboration of works between Bruno Mathsson and Gunilla Allard. And don’t forget about the exterior! Swedish heavyweight Gert Wingårdh was responsible for the architecture.

Another thing that Gert Wingårdh was responsible for was the huge order of carpets (seen in the two middle pics) from China, with exactly the same pattern as a famous pinstripe patterned carpet from Swedish rug company Kasthall. To decorate a design hotel with copies is quite outrageous, don’t you think?
