Art Exhibit King

The Art Exhibit King rooms are unprecedented compositions created by eight Finnish artists. These rooms are unencumbered by traditional rules and familiar formulas. Come and experience each of the uniquely designed rooms yourself and see how freedom of expression and interpretation have been put into practice. The only thing these wildly different rooms have in common is a soft but sturdy bed and a bathroom. Only you can make the final interpretation of the room.

Enjoy the best night’s sleep of your life. The luxurious and fluffy down duvets and pillows are the finishing touches on the ultimate sleep experience.

The high-quality modern bathroom is brought to life by a pattern designed by Stefan Lindfors along the tiles, echoing the breathtaking and experimental spirit of the hotel. The rooms come with delightful Ecologiq Diversity bath products, made using sustainable, eco-certified ingredients and eco-conscious methods. The packaging is made from recycled materials, and the products are not tested on animals. The rooms also have hairdryers as standard.

The rooms have a kettle, coffee and tea for those moments when you simply cannot wait until breakfast or you need a pick-me-up in the middle of the day.

Additional services can be pre-ordered depending on availability. If you need to leave early, you can pre-order a take-away breakfast. Please, place your order before 8 p.m. the previous evening.

The artists behind the unique art rooms

Nina Roos

Nina Roos is a Finnish painter and one of the pioneering Nordic artists of her generation. Nina Roos’s works transcend stylistic boundaries and her work is characterised by strong variations in the means of expression. Nina has worked as a professor of painting at the Academy of Fine Arts from 2001 to 2004 and was awarded the Pro Finlandia medal in 2007.

An impressive and wondrous hotel experience awaits you in a room designed by Nina Roos, come and experience!

Martti Aiha

Sculptor Martti Aiha’s oeuvre includes large-scale public works and his style combines craftsmanship, carefree automatism and the use of building materials. Aiha was awarded the Finnish Art Society’s duct prize in 1982 and Pro Finlandia in 1993.

Let the unique room designed by Martti Aiha accompany your memorable stay and come stay overnight at AX!

Jussi Niva

Visual artist Jussi Niva deals with distances, space and their paradoxes in his works, transforming two-dimensionality into three-dimensionality and vice versa. Jussi Niva and Nina Roos arranged a joint exhibition at the Sara Hildén Art Museum in 1994, and the Finnish Art Society awarded Niva the William Thuring Prize in 2009.

Admire Jussi Niva’s work of art in his room and feel refreshed in a whole new way during your hotel stay!

Riikka Puronen

Sculptor Riikka Puronen’s works are made up of very different materials, from concrete to plastic and from polystyrene to aluminium. Puronen graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts with a Master of Fine Arts degree in 1996 and her works can be found, for example, in the Finnish State Art Collection and the Art Collection of the Jenny and Antti Wihuri Foundation.

The memory of a German hotel room served as the first step in the room design process.

There were large pillows in the room.
Through one of the pillows ran a sharp crease.
A chocolate confection had been laid on the crease.
The combination of the mangled white cloth and sticky chocolate.
Where is that sword with which the pillow was so perfectly creased?

Pekka Jylhä

Sculptor Pekka Jylhä is one of the foremost artists in the Finnish art scene, whose best-known work of public art is the monument to Urho Kekkonen near Finlandia Hall in Helsinki. Jylhä has designed several well-known public works, such as the My Way dartboard at a roundabout in Lempäälä, the golden deer in Siilinjärvi and the monument to J. V. Snellman in Kokkola. Jylhä is a full member of the Association of Finnish Sculptors, and in 2007 she was awarded the Pro Finlandia medal.

“A room for all five senses. In my room, I have tried to have a very holistic atmosphere, like sleeping safely in the lap of the forest, among real trees, under carrots and surrounded by potatoes.” Carpenter Matti Söderkultalahti has turned the carrots and potatoes.

Step into a completely different, experiential and wonderful world and now stay in a room designed by Pekka Jylhä!

Jan-Erik Andersson

Visual artist Jan-Erik Andersson was one of the first artists in Finland to start using digital tools in his art in the early 1990s. Andersson’s goal is to spread positive energy, imagination, rich colours and better interaction to people through his works. In his works, Jan-Erik Andersson moves freely between different art forms. Andersson graduated as a Doctor of Fine Arts from the Academy of Fine Arts in 2008.
