The official hotel partner of FutureDesignDays is Nordic Light Hotel, which is one of four Swedish hotels belonging to the distinguished international network Design Hotels. The network celebrates its 15th anniversary in 2008 and as a part of this, they’ve just recently released the book “Design Hotels Yearbook 08”.

In this comprising book the more than 160 hotels in the network, situated all around the world, are presented. Claus Sendlinger, founder and CEO of Design Hotels is happy about the book: “We are proud to present the expanded portfolio in this 2008 edition. Each page of the Yearbook tells a different story, accenting what makes each property so exemplary and one-of-a-kind. It is a compilation of outstanding design, but also reveals conscientious building methods, novel uses of high technology, interactive as well as emotional environments and individualised service.” The book also includes parts where Karim Rashid, members of FG Stijl and Richard Hassell of WOHA, share their ideas for future and progressive hotel design.
