Hötorget

15 mins1950s tiles & 90s neon

Hötorget preserves its original 1950s aesthetic with classic teal bathroom tiles and vintage signage. In 1998, artist Gun Gordillo added twisting neon light installations across the ceiling. This creates a distinct visual contrast between practical mid-century design and 90s art.
