Swedish subway stations or hallucinatory flashbacks to a 1975 shopping mall?

Andrew Coyne linked to this set of photos of Swedish subway stations saying “Good LØRD. Who was their designer, Willy Wonka?”



I shared the link with Jon, my former virtual landlord, who responded:

Tonight’s nightmares are going to leave a mark.

I can only imagine what the flashbacks must be like for you, though. I suspect that these stations look remarkably like Sherway Gardens did to you and your friend after you guys went drinkin’ at the Steak’n’Burger.

If there is a 1970’s-era Sherway Gardens in Hell, this is what it looks like.

I had a similar reaction to the photos . . . strikingly ugly where they’re not just flat-out disturbing. But what else could we expect from publicly funded artists selected by public transit officials?
