Penguin's Era



Art Suite 306

Egle Saladziute & Erika Irmler

Penguins, one can't think of penguins without a giggle, a smile and a little skip. Penguin's Era brings another perspective to this ancient wise creature; one of respect and contemplation. Within a moment you also can't help but feel such serenity. Calmness comes over you as you are wrapped in crisp, pristinge white snow walls. Penguin eggs that have been sculpted from ice enveloped with snow and lit from inside produce a warm glow. Nestle into your penguin egg bed and allow your inner self to glow - just like other eggs.

Egle Saladziute, who lives in Ireland, and Swiss resident Erika Irmler also provoke giddiness mixed with sincerity. These first timers to ICEHOTEL bring their playful multitalents: Egle her fashion and furniture design while Erika brings her filmmaking and photography.

ICEHOTEL may take risks, but inviting Egle and Erika was certainly not one of them.
