Sean Bidder (UK) stayed at Creators Inn by Elvine at Scandic Malmen in Stockholm.
Who are you and what do you do?
Sean Bidder, creative director for The Vinyl Factory and editor of FACT magazine, passionate about all things creative in music and art and spend my time trying to fuse the two in exciting new ways.
Do you consider yourself creative and if so, in what way?
I guess so, though I don’t think about being “creative” too much. I’m always coming up with ideas and scribbling them down on my pad. If I couldn’t find a way to realise them I guess I’d be sad and frustrated, but I can – much of the time – so it’s all good.
How did you like the room, and what do you think about the Creators Inn by Elvine concept?
Very warm, welcoming and cool. Great bathroom – the underfloor heating was a touch! Love the record player – naturally – and found myself playing Madonna a bit too much. The concept is an inspiration, what a great idea providing a place for guests to stay free in cities all over the world. One thing the room could benefit from would be a fridge.
Any tips and recommendations for future guests? Did you include anything on the map?
My tips would be Roxy bar in SoFo, and eating fresh fish from that health food place nearby, Pet Sounds record store, and strolling round SoFo’s shops on a Sunday. And not swimming in the river/lake in Winter!
What’s creativity to you?
Never stop dreaming up new ideas. Don’t let practical problems hold you back, you can always find a way.
What’s next?
Working with two incredibly exciting music acts – The xx and Grace Jones - on new art projects.
Anything else you want to add?
Thanks again!
