The 72 Hour Cabin started as an initiative by Visit Sweden and the Tourist Board West Sweden. The idea was to offer nature experiences in Sweden to a foreign audience—a project that required a beautiful place and exceptional accommodation. The choice of location fell to the province of Dalsland with its magical forests, lakes, meadows and mountains.
Timber has a unique charisma. It was, after all, once living, which makes each piece unique. The timber’s organic origin is visible in its appearance and texture. The visual and tactile qualities relate to the design principle of The 72 Hour Cabin, and to harvest these qualities, exceptionally skilled carpenters were consulted. Robert Fridh, from Fridh & Hell’s Bygg in Bengtsfors, was tasked with building the prototype.
