The Hedonist was conceived as a miniature ad-hoc homage to the architecture of Mies van der Rohe overlooking the River Neckar, built with timber pallets, wood beams, corrugated fibreglass and steel scaffolding.
The Hedonist was designed by Portuguese architects Nuno Pimenta and Frederico Martins for the Hotel Shabby Shabby event at Mannheim's Theater der Welt 2014 festival
In the event, selected entrants from around the world were asked to build temporary cabins in unexpected locations around the city using found or recyclable materials and a strict €250 budget.
