Recycled Swedish Barns

Hermit Cabin

The Swedish architect Mats Theselius has, together with the Swedish company Arvesund Trä, created the both beautiful and simple Hermit cabin.

The cabin is made of logs and boards from old Swedish barns that no longer have owners or a healthy life. Instead of turning into a pile of old wood old barns can now instead turn in to wonderful cabins or furniture.

The Hermit cabin is made for one person and can be placed where ever and the use is up to you. Your personal think tank or studio in your garden or why not on your city parking lot.
