Designers on Holiday is a summer camp in Gotland, Sweden, for 20- and 30-something creatives. The brainchild of designers Bobby Petersen and Tom Gottelier of LA- and Oslo-based Petersen & Gottelier, the getaway was conceived when they acquired a 3.5-acre parcel of farmland from a friend’s mother. Take a look at the tents, micro-cabins, saunas, and shower towers, all with a focus on “sustainable, off-grid living in a modern, luxurious, and design-conscious way.”
"We specialize in simple, minimal design that heightens and deepens the outdoor experience
,” says Gottelier.
The same duo made this Wax-On Tent of waxed cotton and Swedish pine.
The newest addition to the “spa area,” the Sauna 002, is an upside-down triangle with rooftop lounge seating.
The DOH Studio Micro Cabin, with a door of ripstop sail fabric, is designed to be easily movable on the back of a tractor.
Inspired by World War II dazzle camouflage on ships, the Dazzle Cabin is composed of a flatpack cube that sits atop a wooden deck.
