My friends at Next Century Modern have teamed up with Swedish streetwear brand Elvine on a project called Creators Inn, free accommodations for creative in hip Gothenburg. Not a shocking project for socially minded Swedes, but a bit prophetic given the current worldwide financial meltdown.

"Partnering with different local independent organizers Creators Inn by Elvine offers visiting creators short-term accommodation during their stay in Gothenburg. Totally free. No hidden fees. The fully equipped room is located on the top of a hill with a balcony overlooking Gothenburg city. The centre is only a 10 min walk away."

Not only do you get a free place to stay, but, given Gothenburg's a hot bed of designers and artists, you're guarateed to meet all the coolest people in town, which means getting all the ins on what to do and where to go.

So simple, so genius. Now for the rest of the world to follow suit, especially overpriced cities like New York, Tokyo, and London.
