A heart in wood

Ashort 12 miles away from central Stockholm lies a 54-acre space for art, nature and events. The idea and execution by Björn Jakobson, founder of a baby equipment design company, and now also the founder of Artipelag. Artipelag first began in 2000 and it took twelve years until the gallery opened in 2012. The name ‘Artipelag’ was derived from the words art, activities and archipelago. Jakobson’s vision for the place is combined within its name, showcasing his vision and intention for a place to enjoy art, activities and nature. On site is also a flexible event studio called Artbox, rigged with professional standard equipment within a 12m high space of 13,000 square feet space. On the rooster of Artbox are conferences, product launches, opera performances, television broadcasts, banquets, and unique art exhibitions...
