Norweigan designer Daniel Ryabakken installs the Shelter Pavilion, which is a roof structural form that rests on top of cold waters surrounding Stockholm. This is meant to symbolize the plight of refugees that are around the world. It features a simple look and rests on top of steel columns as the supporting foundation and boasts light installed under it for an illuminating look.
It celebrates Fridtjof Nansen, a Norwegian explorer, humanitarian, and scientist. Ryabakken speaks about the design to Dezeen, stating "I wanted to create a contrast between the shelter of the roof and the coldness of the water, then combine it with this very bright light. It's about creating light in the darkest of times."
