A new version of the bright blue coat worn by last year’s Eurovision winner, Nemo, has been created as Malmö’s symbolic gift to the next host city, Basel. The coat is crafted from flags and decorations that adorned the official event venues in Malmö last year. The coat features hand-printed words such as "democracy", "creativity", and "re:used citydress" — values important to Malmö.
Signs of the approaching Eurovision week are now visible in sunny Malmö - flags, decorations, stage construction and lots of people on the move. Making Malmö feel inviting and welcoming is important for the city's hosting. Many Malmö residents are involved in creating experiences and a beautiful and sustainable decoration.
