More info
Hobo will offer its guests a new challenging, exciting and inspiring world – an on-trend design experience. Authenticity, sustainable design and shared realities that enable personal relationships in a social hub are the conceptual basics of studio aisslinger’s design for Hobo. A sense of connection, whether it be to the hotel itself and other guests or to the city and its locals, is what will shape a stay in Hobo Stockholm.

Hobo wants to give travellers the feeling of freedom and easiness – the feeling one would have touring the continents with a vintage Volkswagen camper and making stops to prepare food at a campfire. The Hobo guest seeks adventures and loves nature, pure materials, community, good talks and of course music. Hobo Hotel is an open-minded place with curated art, organic food, and special installations like a farming-aquaponic installation or the barbershop and the DIY repairment corner. These storytelling elements, together with the design details, create a friendly and emotional place for all guests from all over the world as well as locals from Stockholm.

Designwise Hobo plays with open loft-like spaces and easy accessibility to all public areas as well as communicative and inviting seating areas. The design is quite casual, easy-going and collage-like: studio aisslinger curated materials and colours to achieve a mix of warm, natural textures like stone or wood together with tiles, wallpapers, metal finishes like brass, all connected with colourful fabrics and a cosy lighting concept. All design pieces are carefully selected and designed by studio aisslinger in collaboration with high-end design brands around Europe. To name the most exciting: a luminaire range with the famous Swedish brand Wästberg and seating and sofas designed with Italian manufacturer Cappellini.

Hobo is the evolution of urban hotels – the next step to connecting guests in a social lobby and communal bar area, with a design that mirrors the lifestyle of curious and broad-minded urban travellers.

The unique rooms are defined by the central and freestanding bed, orientated towards the window which is framed by a wooden funnel construction emphasizing the 1970ies horizontal elements. The bed is connected to a steel frame structure, a construction that connects to a desk and also serves as a place for hanging lamps or personal objects. The room’s unusual atmosphere is shaped by a long red or green mirrorball and the big glass window separating the shower area. All furniture such as wardrobes, cork stools and bedside tables are editions of studio aisslinger.
