LYDMAR HOTEL TAKES THE INTERIOR TO A NEW LEVEL

In conjunction with Lydmar Hotels 10-year anniversary in October last year an extensive makeover was initiated for all 46 hotel rooms and common areas together with interior design studio Nude Ateljé. The makeover was completed gradually taking one floor at a time whilst keeping the rest of the the hotel open for business. It has been little over 10 years since Lydmar Hotel opened its doors at Blasieholmen for the first time and the result of the work over the past years and the last intense eight months of refurbishments are truly Elegant, Cultured and Bold. Slightly Different to say the least.

All hotel rooms have been completely restyled by architect Eva-Lotta Axelsson, founder of Nude Ateljé. The new fearless concept was born when Nude Ateljé in February 2017 completed the World Citizen makeover in Lydmar Hotels signature suite. The new style shows an eclectic approach in a mix of personally customized designs combined with selected pieces. In a unique setting she explores new creative angles by blending small scale and local craftmanship with international design into an idea born and driven by the values of Lydmar Hotel. Several of the pieces in the hotel are one-off items designed by Eva-Lotta Axelsson and carefully handmade to the highest quality in order to create spaces with a unique, personal and inspiring feeling.

I am so grateful that Lydmar Hotel gave us such creative freedom. Lydmar dared to believe in us and opened their doors - to all of the rooms in the hotel actually - and gave us the trust to shape 45 unique rooms and 4 living rooms based on the concept "the World citizen". The idea was formed together with Lydmar Hotel´s General Manager, Maria Maruska, around a narrative of a modern traveller, a woman collecting unique items from all over the world bringing them back to her own home, and we wanted the experience in the hotel to be Elegant, Cultured and Bold.

All work completed by Nude Ateljé is strongly connected and based on the values of the client. The new concept came to life by identifying and analyzing what Lydmar Hotel stands for. In close collaboration, Eva-Lotta Axelsson and Maria Maruska CEO at Lydmar Hotel agreed on the key values Elegant, Cultured and Bold to describe the modern & timeless furniture, the fearless & unique art and the contemporary & fashionable fabrics wrapped up with layering with a warmth feeling of home combined with relaxed, excited, aggressive and pleased colour theory. 

- I am very glad to announce our new fearless rooms and the atmosphere created in collaboration with Nude Ateljé. We wanted to create an exceptional experience for our guests and I feel that the key values Elegant, Cultured and Bold really interpreted our unique DNA throughout the process. For us it was important that our regulars recognize their Lydmar, we wanted to keep the soul and heart of Lydmar hence we have preserved some furniture and selected objects but placed them in a new context and environment, says Maria Maruska.

The new hotel experience will be open for scheduled visits starting from the 22^nd of May. For personal appointments please contact Cecilia Björklund at cecilia.bjorklund@lydmar.com or at +46(0)8 22 31 60
