Utsikten: MYCKET

A TrollTivoli has taken shape at Utsikten – an amusement park for trolls and all their friends. The flying swings, the prize wheel and the carousel spin and creak – all built from old elm trees, bicycle wheels, scrap and imagination.

But the TrollTivoli is far from finished. Perhaps a catapult for the pixies is still needed? Or a rollercoaster for the gnomes? This summer, children and their adults are invited to help expand the trolls’ world. Join ArkDes’ free activities – or play and explore the site on your own.

About Utsikten

Utsikten is ArkDes’ outdoor space where children can build, test, play and develop ideas at full scale. The initiative is part of ArkDes’ long-term work to support the creativity of children and young people through co-creation in architecture and design.

In 2024, the art, architecture and design collective MYCKET was commissioned to design Utsikten together with a group of children from Filosofiska, a school in Skarpnäck. The result was a magical space: a giant troll’s ear filled with greenery, water and life – for mythological creatures, animals and children alike.

For summer 2025, MYCKET has returned to continue the story of the trolls – this time with Year 1 pupils from Bergsundsskolan in Stockholm. Together, they have designed an amusement park for tiny and big beings of fantasy: a TrollTivoli that will continue to grow throughout the summer with the help of ArkDes visitors.

MYCKET ↗ was founded in 2012 by artists, designers and architects Mariana Alves Silva, Dr. Katarina Bonnevier and Thérèse Kristiansson. The group work with equality, social sustainability, and the more-than-human within art, design, architecture, and public spaces.
