Transatlantic architect and designer Thierry Despont has become the figure of choice for intelligent reinventions of beloved period buildings, such as the Paris Ritz. Dominic Bradbury talks art, culture and diplomacy with the master of making it new

RENAISSANCE MAN

The architect and designer Thierry Despont has cancelled his ticket to Patagonia. That would have been his place of exile, he declared, if his $450 million restoration of the Ritz, in Paris, had been a failure. So many guests, so many commentators, feel that the Ritz belongs to them as much as to Mohamed al-Fayed, who took the decision to close the hotel for four years to push ahead with the most comprehensive restoration and update since César Ritz first opened the palatial hotel in 1898. This one-of-a-kind project was a challenge “People love this building and everybody has a proprietorial sense of what the Ritz should be or should not be,” says Despont, who completed the extensive commission last summer. “We wanted to bring it back to life,

because it was tired, so we gutted the place and did everything. But I hoped that people would say, once it was all done, that they recognized the Ritz they have always loved and that it was better than ever. Fortunately it has been very well received. People love it.” Despont was a shrewd choice for such an ambitious project, which combined the introduction of modern services and systems behind the scenes along with the subtle re-imagining of both public spaces and private suites throughout. A Frenchman with a New York office and an international reputation, Despont fuses architecture and interiors within one seamless design philosophy, while drawing upon a wealth of transatlantic experience. More than this, Despont is a skilled diplomat in the world of design, determined to respect the history, context and provenance of a building rather than impose a signature look. In this way, each of his projects is unique. “With projects such as the Ritz and others we are working on I very much enjoy the process of research and going back into the history of the project,” Despont says. “That’s why I find it so interesting. There is so much history there and you have to know it and understand it. At the end, it’s “ We wanted to make almost like going back to a the Ritz better but family home and when you go back you want to recognise it make sure that the and treasure your memories. We wanted to make the Ritz memories are better but make sure that the still there” memories are still there.”

Despont grew up in the town of Limoges, yet knew that he wanted to broaden his horizons from an early age. His father was an architect and so his choice of profession seemed natural, with Despont enrolling at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Here, he was taught architecture but was also able to indulge his love of drawing, painting and sculpture; today, he continues to work as an artist, exhibiting both paintings and sculptures. Despont continued his studies at Harvard University, concentrating on urban design. After graduating, he finally received his national service call-up papers, taking the option to enroll in the French equivalent of the peace corps. He found himself in Tehran, collaborating on development plans and travelling around the pre-revolutionary country. There, he was fortunate to meet the English architect Richard Llewelyn-Davies. “Richard was a marvellous man, who took me under his wing,” says Despont. “His practice was doing a large project in Tehran so I worked with them there for six months and then they asked me to move to the New York office in 1978. But when he died in the early 1980s, everyone in the firm went their separate ways, and I found myself in New York. I thought I would open my own practice because I had nothing to lose.” Despont started off with two house projects and a small apartment. A combination of fortune and talent saw the practice grow quickly as he picked up a sequence of extraordinary clients, who commissioned private houses. They included Conrad Black, Oscar de la Renta, Calvin Klein and, later, Bill and Melinda Gates. Increasingly Despont began to combine architecture and interiors, seeing them as part of the same design process. “Residential architecture is the last refuge where the architect is, as much as possible, free from constraint,” says Despont. “But I always say DCCH.CO.UK

“ I am like a sponge. I absorb anything that I really like. That’s what I love about what I do” that I am here to give shape to my clients’ dreams and that’s what I love doing. It’s like playing tennis with a good partner. You push them and they push you so the game becomes better. If you play tennis with someone who doesn’t know how to play then it gets boring very quickly.” Despont’s reputation for intelligent sensitivity surged in the mid-1980s with a unique commission: the restoration of the Statue of Liberty. It was, in a way, the perfect commission for a Frenchman in New York, given that the 1886 statue – designed by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and Gustave Eiffel – was originally a gift from the French people to America. The success of the project led to a series of high profile projects focused on the restoration and renaissance of landmark buildings. In New York, key commissions have included the recent restoration and reopening of the Cartier Mansion, another great Franco-American romance. A glorious neo-classical villa on Fifth Avenue, the house was given to Pierre Cartier in 1912 as payment for a legendary pearl necklace, becoming the third Cartier flagship after Paris and London. Despont’s challenge, as with the Ritz, was to preserve the essential character of the building while gently guiding it into the 21st century; the architect has just been appointed by the company to undertake a similar task with its Parisian headquarters. Despont is also working on a powerful triptych of Manhattan residential skyscrapers. They include the conversion of the famous Woolworth

Building, originally designed by Cass Gilbert and completed in 1912, which was the tallest building in the world until the arrival of the Chrysler Building in 1930. There are also the luxury apartments at 220 Central Park – a skyscraper designed by Robert Stern – plus the residential interiors of Jean Nouvel’s new tower next to the Museum of Modern Art. “They represent a whole range of projects, which is really what I like,” says Despont, who now heads an office of 50 architects and designers. “We are creating apartments that befit the Woolworth Building, then 220 Central Park is more classical with really grand apartments and the MoMA tower has the most innovative new apartments in town. That’s what I love about architecture. I don’t really understand architects who get stuck in one style.” In New York, Despont walks between his house, office and art studio in Tribeca, all within a few blocks of one another; there is also a house in the Hamptons, shared with his partner Barbara. His busy travel schedule has included monthly trips to France in recent years, over the course of the Ritz project, which has also allowed Despont to spend a little more time at his French home on the Île d’Yeu, off the coast of the Vendée. London is another great love, with past projects including Claridge’s and a Kensington mansion for steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal and his family. Despont hopes to announce another major London commission very soon. “People always ask me, what’s my favourite project and I always say that it’s the next one,” says Despont, who brings an open mind and a wide range of influences – both historical and contemporary – to every project. “Really, I am like a sponge. I absorb anything that I really like. That’s what I love about what I do. Philip Johnson used to say that you cannot practice architecture if you don’t know your history and I think that’s very, very true.”

BAR

HOTEL LOBBY

Heritage buildings always need to be considered carefully: the furniture, palette and lighting help to amplify, rather than compete with, the significance of the surroundings. To capture the atmosphere of the famous bar at the Paris Ritz, designed by Thierry Despont, (p32) introduce an art deco screen covered in ‘Mishima’, a subtle wallpaper from Fromental in relief and gold leaf. Well-considered pieces like this ‘Wyatt’ alabaster stone lamp from Nicholas Haslam Ltd, ‘Petworth’ lantern from Vaughan and ‘Norton’ sideboard from Decorus can add a subtle metallic gleam. The sinuous lines of Ceccotti Collezioni’s ‘Hypnos’ chair in solid cherry wood will provide an elegant place to sip your martini.

Situated in the heart of the Netherlands’ diplomatic capital, the Hague Mariott hotel offers plenty of places for guests to relax, work and socialize. To get the signature look of its Greatroom (p46) created by ara Design, first impressions will count. Introduce bold block colours like ‘Harrow’, a peacock green cut velvet by Jim Thompson at Fox Linton or ‘Moss’, a full-grain leather by Edelman Leather that is both rugged and refined. Give your scheme the edge with statement pieces like the ‘Jazz’ cabinet from Armani/Casa and Decorus’ ‘Lazzaro’ console, alongside a ‘Tourmaline’ table light in slate from Donghia at Rubelli/Donghia. Underfoot, the ‘Range’ rug in gold from Tufenkian Artisan Carpets will delineate the space.

PENTHOUSE

LUXURY YACHT

According to Kit Kemp, the creative force behind Firmdale hotels, every room tells a story. If you want to recreate the look of the rooms in her highly individual hotels, including The Whitby in New York (p53), a playful, mix-and-match approach to fabric, texture and colour will conjure up an inviting space. Shown here are ‘Abanico’ fabric (02), a new collaboration between Lizzo and Italian painter Elena Carozzi, and Tai Ping’s ‘Flash’ rug, which has an abstract aesthetic. A comfy ‘Ana’ meridienne sofa from Christophe Delcourt at GM Interiors can be juxtaposed with ‘Areso’, a linked hexagon fabric on a textured ground from Jim Thompson at Fox Linton. The ‘Bouble’ lamp from Porta Romana and a ceiling light from Wired Custom Lighting add a final flourish.

The sleek interiors of Attitude (page 58) are contemporary, comfortable and streamlined. To get the look, muted colours, curving shapes and exciting finishes should be a hallmark. A ‘Round Sculpture’ mirror in ombre from J. Robert Scott or a circular coffee table from Decorus with a bespoke finish would be a good starting point. Meticulous detailing is key to achieving this understated, luxury look. ‘Belle Coquille’ mosaics from Ann Sacks have a subtle herringbone pattern, while the soft greys of ‘Royal Hide’ from Edelman Leather, the ‘Trillion’ counter chair from Donghia at Rubelli/Donghia and a white ‘Paula’ cabinet from Birgit Israel keep to the pale palette.

At Savoir Beds, each bed is hand-made from start to finish by a single person. The company has nurtured relationships with superstar designers, who bring fresh eyes to the design process

esign Centre, Chelsea Harbour is a is an anthology of stories about designing and making – but many of those tales are untold. And while not everyone wants to know every last detail about how something is made, for many interior designers, that journey of discovery – unearthing a new talent, or finding out about an unusual method of manufacture – is one of the most rewarding parts of the job. Designers pass those stories on to their clients, imbuing the finished project with more emotional charge. “If I’m going to invest in something – be it a handbag or jacket or something for my home – and I know that a person has put their heart and soul in to it, I’m much more likely to respect and appreciate it,” says Bernie de Le Cuona of textile makers de Le Cuona. “I think that’s where our industry is moving. People have become so used to having things

immediately, but when they actually see something that has a lot of care invested in it, they value it. That idea is becoming more and more important.” De Le Cuona’s second floor showroom is a new recruit to the Design Centre. It is best known for its Kashmir-made reversible paisleys (the Victoria & Albert Museum even has an example in its collection), which are so finely woven that it takes a day to make three metres of fabric. The development process is painstaking. “Each paisley has at least 12 different colours, and changing one thread can make a huge difference, so just getting one sample after another can take a long time,” says de Le Cuona.

independent designers and artists to push their collections to new creative heights. Lewis & Wood has worked with artists such as Andrew Calkin, Andrew Davidson and Alexander Hamilton. Rug maker Tai Ping casts its net widely, working with everyone from floral artist Jeff Leatham to fashion designer Han Feng, their experiences in different industries always adding a fresh twist. Savoir Beds include top US textile and interior designer Madeline Weinrib and celebrated Korean designer Teo Yang. “The most important thing about any collaboration is that the designer has a passion and a feeling for the brand – you don’t want them to draw something on a piece of paper, send it through and that’s it,” says Savoir Beds’ managing director Alistair Hughes. “The key thing is to get them in to our bedworks in West London and see the product being made. If they understand the craftsmanship that goes into it and the way we work, then it directs their design.” Savoir Beds’ products are handmade using materials such as horsehair and lambswool, each one manufactured from start to finish by a single individual. It’s a great manufacturing story in itself, but the way that designers take these raw materials and make something totally unique makes the narrative even more compelling. Asking a designer where that first spark of inspiration came often elicits a fascinating reply. “Our inspiration is drawn from many different sources, ranging from websites like 1st Dibs and Pinterest, interiors magazines, the Design Centre, clients’ houses, hotels, architecture 42

and antiques…it is endless.” says Alexandra Davidson of Davidson, who has just added a new console, ‘Montagu’, to its collection. For Ariane Dalle, design director for Manuel Canovas and Larsen, inspiration “starts from a beautiful landscape, a trip somewhere, a book I’m reading, an amazing movie… I’m always very surprised by the power of our imagination, because an idea creates another idea, and sometimes the end result is far from where things started.” For Larsen’s spring

“Telling the stories behind the product is increasingly important”

2017 collection, Dalle was inspired by German photographer Hans Silvester’s images of the Bench people of southern Ethiopia, and the vibrant graphic style of painting that adorns their homes. Overseeing two brands, Dalle’s challenge is also to make sure the two remain distinctive, retaining an essential design DNA throughout all the collections. “Larsen is the ‘architectural’ textile brand, which uses traditional techniques for a hand-woven, crafted look, while at the same time using innovative technology for graphic, contemporary designs,” she says. Manuel

Canovas pays homage to Canovas himself, “the prince of colours. It is a highlight when I have to compose the colours of each fabric. It’s like music – vibrations and harmonies made with yarns and painted paper.” The design of some textiles can be deceptively complicated. Take Zoffany’s ‘Antheia’ fabric, part of its latest Boleyn collection. Made in India, it involves multiple techniques: a plain linen is embroidered in three types of thread (cotton, viscose and a blended yarn), before paper is laid on top and laser-cut to create a damask pattern. The fabric is then spray dyed, so that not only is the dye resisted by the paper areas, but where the dye hits the embroidery, it is taken up differently by each types of thread, giving subtle tonal differences. “I went to India and it was amazing to see the production going through,” says head of design Peter Gomez. “I counted nine men holding the fabric in one place just to keep it in register – and that was just for one part of the process.” Less technically advanced but just as beautiful is ‘Boleyn’, whose technique is ancient – blockprinted, using palm-sized woodblocks. Telling the stories behind the product is increasingly important for Zoffany, says Gomez. “Increasingly, we are trying to get across the value of the product, and the amount of work that has gone into it. And for the person whose home it ends up in, they are that little bit closer to it as a result. It’s not just about saying, ‘I saw this in a magazine and put it up’; it’s about knowing why it looks so beautiful, and saying ‘I fell in love with it, and I can see the value in it.’”

EXCEPTIONAL

The world’s best interiors must have it all: beauty, functionality and craftsmanship, delivered seamlessly. Emily Brooks reports on how designers rely on the ingenuity and professionalism of Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour’s showrooms to create them

hy an interior is not just great, but exceptional, comes down to a multitude of factors. First, there’s functionality: is it comfortable? Is it fit for purpose? A sense of place is often important, expressed through material, colour and form. Then of course, there’s sheer quality of craftsmanship, and the inclusion of hand-made, bespoke elements to make a space feel truly one of a kind. Throw in the needs of the clients, short lead times and an intractable budget, and the interior designer’s challenge becomes clear. It takes an army to deliver a flawless creative vision – and Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour is where help is at hand, whether the requirement is for furniture, lighting, rugs, tiles, trimmings, fabrics or wallcoverings. “They take away the pain and make our lives easy,” is how Alex Holden, managing director of interior design firm Oliver Burns, sums up the service that his team receive from the showrooms. “They have an understanding of what we’re going through, and know the expectation of what we’re trying to deliver to our clients.” When the benchmark of quality from your suppliers is sky-high, then you are much more likely to be able to deliver those exceptional schemes. The proof is in some of the wonderful projects from around the world that have been completed lately, from superyachts to iconic hotels. “We always look to create one-off pieces so we can add a little touch of ‘us’ and give each project its own distinct look,” says Siobhan Farley, director of in-house design and build at Soho House, which recently refreshed the interiors at Babington House in Somerset. Farley commissioned a bespoke colourway for Lewis & Wood’s ‘Alhambra’ wallcovering for The Playroom, its largest suite, and the bar. “I think the pattern is great, soft but sophisticated, and it adds something without dominating the space too much. It looks so different in each, a bit more modern in the bar and pretty in The Playroom,” she says. Soho Home (Soho House’s retail arm) is bringing its much-admired look directly to the Design Centre. It is partnering with Turnell & Gigon to transform its pop-up showroom into a suite featuring walls wrapped in Schumacher’s floral ‘Ursula’ fabric, with upholstery fabrics including luxurious wool and silk velvet from Clarence House and linen from Neisha Crosland. Many designers agree that a layered approach is the key to success – a room where the eye is always stimulated without being overwhelmed, and where the more you look, the more you see. “When it comes to elevating design from great to exceptional, the magic lies in the detail and the layering of exquisite materials, whether that be a silk carpet from Tai Ping, a lapis lazuli patterned tile from Ann Sacks or handwoven horsehair from Alton-Brooke,” says Holly Beazley, senior designer at Morpheus London. “It is the continued research and dedication into finding such exquisite materials that enables interior designers to add layer upon layer of luxurious finds into their schemes, resulting in highly detailed and ever-changing original design.” She describes

how, for a penthouse apartment in St John’s Wood, her client wanted “a luxurious feel without it feeling too over embellished or over the top” and this layering of beautiful materials, from stone to silk, is a way of achieving that balance. There’s lighting by Porta Romana and Vaughan, a dramatic fluted headboard in a fabric from Jason d’Souza, and further textiles courtesy of Lizzo, J. Robert Scott and Chase Erwin, among others. Designer Beata Heuman comes to the Design Centre to source for her projects, and says that “to get that layered look, you can’t just rely on one or two suppliers. There’s so much under one roof, so it’s so easy to find lots of different things. And with time, the showrooms learn what your style is and what you like, so the service become more and more tailored to you.” Pierre Frey’s Le Manach brand is one of her favourites, not least because customcoloured versions of its weaves can be delivered in a couple of weeks. “When I design someone’s home I always try to give our clients something no one else has, so that it really feels like it has been worthwhile for them to hire us. Those bespoke colour combinations are a good way of doing that.” “Many of the showrooms frequently go above and beyond to help us achieve our design ambitions for our clients,” says Morpheus’s Holly Beazley. “For example, one fabric supplier supplied 1,000 metres of the same fabric in a bespoke colour range, with a turnaround of two weeks.” This is not an isolated feat, as Lewis Taylor, design director at David Collins Studio, will attest. “Our work is about details, and we think it is this – uncompromising attention to detail, and going the extra mile to achieve it – that turns interiors from great to exceptional. For instance, working for weeks on end to create that exact colour of leather upholstery with amazing suppliers such as Edelman Leather, where we have often created custom embossing patterns and bespoke colours that become iconic elements in the interiors we create.”

Closer look: Frankfurt airport’s smart business club

With a ‘work anywhere’ ethos now the norm, executive travellers have high expectations of airport facilities. In Frankfurt, a major hub for European business, the Airport Club has recently reopened following a €3m modernisation. Berlin-based Reina Mehnert of Perfect Raumdesign was responsible for the scheme on behalf of the club’s owners, Kofler & Kompanie: furniture from Giorgetti was specified for the reception area, a working lounge, smokers’ lounge, conference room and restaurant. Pictured are ‘Mobius’ and ‘Caddy’ chairs, upholstered in leather in subdued colours described by Giorgetti as ‘neo retro’ that complement the gentlemen’s-club styling, with panelled walls and floor lamps. Art from the club’s private collection adorns the space, creating an atmosphere that feels far more personalised than the usual faceless airport business facilities.

BOTTOM RIGHT: The Playroom, Babington House’s largest suite, features a custom-colour version of Lewis & Wood’s ‘Alhambra’ wallpaper.

Closer look: a tailor-made penthouse in St James’s A location at the heart of traditional British retailing was the starting point for the interior scheme for the Brummell Penthouse at Beau House. Jermyn Street is particularly known for its shirtmakers, shoe-sellers and barbers, and so the interiors pay their respects to this gentlemanly heritage. The three-floor penthouse tops off the wider redevelopment of the building (a project by Dukelease), with Oliver Burns creating the penthouse interiors. Herringbone flooring and fabrics, hand-stitched oversized headboards and decorative upholstery make understated reference to the ‘tailoring’ theme, and products from the Design Centre feature prominently. The open-plan kitchen-dining-living space features side tables by Decorus and Bella Figura lighting. A Davidson dining table epitomises the project’s discreet sense of luxury: in sycamore with ebonised inlay, the distinctive ripple of the sycamore brings gentle texture to the scheme. “We asked Davidson to redesign the base of one of their existing designs so it would work better with the dining chairs,” says Oliver Burns’ managing director Alex Holden. “At the Design Centre, people are always happy to work with you to create exactly what you want – Davidson are very willing to either create a fully bespoke piece or tweak something existing.”

David Collins Studio recently unveiled the New Bond Street showroom of luxury jeweller De Grisogono, a life-size jewelbox with curved walls, timber walnut marquetry panels and a separate, sumptuous salon for relaxation. “The client wanted to use bold and unexpected fabrics for the upholstery so we used vibrant red and green Dedar velvets, which was a challenge for us,” says Taylor. “The De Grisogono customer is a well-travelled, well-informed individual who understands luxury, and the vibrant colours reflect the brand identity.” In-house manufacturing can be a fantastic resource for designers, streamlining the process of having something made from scratch. When Campaign Design was seeking a supplier that could digitally print its own design on to fabric for the fitting rooms at Selfridge’s Designer Studio, they approached Creation Baumann – one of the few companies that could print on a 3m-wide fabric – ensuring that the 13 fitting-room curtains were seamless. “We understand that there can be time restrictions, and because we have our own mill, we can turn things around very quickly,” says Vivienne Griffin, Rubelli/Donghia’s UK director. The showroom works with some of the world’s finest hotels, including, recently, the Visconti Palace Rome, the Grand Hyatt Amman and the Hague Marriott, all by ara Design. “It’s the second time I’ve done the Grand Hyatt Amman, and it’s nice when people come back. Over the years you develop relationship with the client and they come to trust you on what you’re going to do for them. That’s really important, especially with hotels,” says Griffin. She refers to herself as “the nuts and bolts of the design industry” although it’s much more than that. “Designers tend to go for something from an aesthetic point of view, but we’ll also look at the practicality of it. And if a fabric is needed in a more durable or a Trevira version, we can do that.” She has an encyclopaedic knowledge of the design guidelines of the various big hotel groups, each having subtly different rules for matters such as fire-resistance – what designer wouldn’t be comforted know that this side of the job was being competently addressed by a supplier? Designer Katharine Pooley says that the Rubelli design team “are unsurpassable in their product knowledge and helpfulness,” and recently sourced from there for her prestigious Ennismore Gardens residential project, in addition to a number of other Design Centre suppliers. “We knew that for a timeless and sophisticated take on opulent glamour, Samuel and Sons create beautiful tiebacks and trimmings in contemporary colours, and the Hermès range of interior fabrics stocked by Dedar includes some beautiful mid-size patterns – perfect for statement cushions as in this interior,” she says. Designers of new developments always have to be at the cutting edge, especially when it comes to anticipating and reflecting changing lifestyles. As home working continues to rise, more attention is being lavished on an appropriately luxurious home office space, for example. At Berkeley Homes’ multi-award-winning Goodman’s Fields penthouse in London’s Aldgate, The BOX66 Group turned to the bespoke capabilities of Gallotti&Radice to create a library-like space. An ‘Elle Plus 10’ boiserie was made in custom dimensions for an exact fit, with an ‘Air’ desk 1 in smoked ‘grigio Italia’ glass and a suspended ‘Air’ unit that cantilevers out from the wall. BOX66 has created a scheme that is detailed and dramatic but doesn’t shout, exactly what the Italian furniture brand is known for. “Gallotti&Radice has an attention to detail and flexibility unrivalled by many,” says Fiona Ashford, BOX66’s architectural and creative director. “They have been very accommodating, and that goes such a long way to cultivating good relationships with manufacturers. If they get it right, it leaves the designer, at the end of each project, wanting more. Gallotti&Radice did that for me.” Then there’s the sheer convenience of having everything in one place, and the corresponding time-savings – not to be underestimated. “When we start on the decorating side of a new job, we always take our clients there, and they can’t believe it,” says Tor Vivian of Tor Interiors. “We spend half a day there, and by the end they’ve chosen almost everything and you never need to go back again. Their whole house is done in that one visit.”

Closer look: Grosvenor House’s sumptuous Royal Suites Hotel design commissions are rarely more prestigious than Park Lane landmark Grosvenor House, part of JW Marriott’s storied portfolio. GA Design International has already redesigned several areas of the hotel, and these projects have now been joined by two 170 square metre Royal Suites. Fit for royalty in their sumptuous attention to detail, the suites feature fabrics from Lelievre in the shape of ‘Miroir’, ‘Nabab’ and ‘Sultan’ gracing the sofas and chairs. The brief was “to bring the history of the building and the location together as a narrative, and the Hyde Park/Park Lane location and wonderful heritage gave us lots of scope for creativity,” says Steffi Backhouse, GA Design’s senior FF&E designer. “Lelievre’s rich and fresh-toned velvets and satins suited the grace of the period.” A sense of place has been instilled via the palette, inspired by the natural colours of the park in spring and autumn: “When the guest looks out of the window to park beyond, they are surrounded by an underlying layer of that within the room,” says Backhouse.

Luxury hotels are undergoing a creative revolution, with bespoke concepts and a sense of individuality that mirror their locale, writes Lucia van der Post

here was a time, strange to relate, when hotel chains considered it a good commercial move to impress their own brand so strongly upon their customers (or “guests” are they are now universally referred to as if there no cash connection between them at all) that they could leave having little notion of which country or city they had stayed in, so heavily did the imprint of the “brand” weigh upon them. From Chicago to Beijing, from Sao Paulo to Singapore they made sure there were the same

logos, the same bed and headboard, identical lighting, amenities and books beside the bed. This, the thinking went, made the “guest” feel at home, reassured that they were safe in the hands of brand “X”. Somewhere along the line thinking changed. Canny hoteliers began to notice that actually “guests” wanted something infinitely more interesting – an authentic sense of place, a bit of history if possible and a back story to give added interest but on top of that they wanted interior design that was intimately connected

to the aesthetic and cultural background of the city or surrounding area. That wonderful hotelier Kit Kemp of Firmdale hotels, sensed it way back in 1996 when she opened The Dorset Square Hotel, a converted Regency townhouse in Marylebone overlooking the site of Thomas Lord’s first cricket ground and brought to life a grand English house, full of oil paintings, swish curtains and cricket memorabilia. Even earlier, in 1978 Anoushka Hempel with Blake’s redefined the modern boutique hotel when

she imbued it with an almost outrageous glamour, making every bedroom different, each conjuring up a perfectly conceived atmosphere, ranging from oriental voluptuous and grand Country House to cool modernist. They both perceived that creating the sort of hotels that people fall in love with depends upon compelling story telling. Hotel rooms and settings, after all, are not, like our own dear rooms, designed for permanent living. They’re places where we seek more than a good night’s sleep and some decent nosh – more and more we want a bit of visual drama, we want the eye to be pleased, the soul to be touched. It was probably Adrian Zecha with his Aman group that first pioneered the idea that hotels should aesthetically reflect the indigenous culture of the country they were in. If you were to arrive at the Amanpuri on Phuket, for instance, by sealed space container, it would take only a nano-second for you to realise you’d landed in Thailand. Turn up at the Amandari in Bali and the curving roofs reflect the Balinese culture, the reception rooms and bedrooms are filled with Balinese details that remind one where one is and at night the light plays on the series of infinity pools outside and a local musician plays the gamelan whilst you eat beside the water – it is powerful theatre that never fails to create a memory that lasts forever. Then there’s the Four Seasons. A large and much admired collection of some 104 hotels, they pride themselves on the fact that each and every one is different. Stay in the Four Season in New York and you just know that its aesthetic, its menus, its service, every detail down to the typography is viscerally connected to the culture, way of life and spirit of that great city. But go to its resort in Northern Thailand and what you get is lush tents, bush chairs, paddle fans and hand-hammered copper baths, whilst all around the jungle throbs. And then there’s its hotel in Florence, inserted into the 500-yearold Palazzo Scala Della Gherardesca, it’s all baroque statues, busts in alcoves, colonnades,

rooms with original friezes and frescoes and quiet – the nearest most of its guests will ever come to staying in a grand Florentine home. Its latest hotel Ten Trinity Square was once the headquarters of the Port of London authority and its designers have firmly anchored its interiors in its nautical history. The huge central rotunda, reminiscent of St. Paul’s, reminds one of nothing so much as a vast, enlarged compass, marble columns feature a twisted rope-like design, the walnut panelling in the old boardroom have been brilliant restored and kept, the bedrooms have carpets which subtly echo fishermen’s nets, some of the headboards feature seashells…you get the picture. Nobody who stays could fail to imbibe the history of this grand and wonderful beautiful building. Meanwhile Kit Kemp, ever with her finger on the button, has just brought to life the Whitby Hotel in upper midtown Manhattan which opened at the end of February. She has drawn on the city’s well-known love of contemporary art and design. “Each and every 54

bedroom is different and scattered throughout the hotel is an enviable collection of modern and contemporary art whilst the building itself is full of fun and colour.” Over in São Paulo, the Oetker Collection’s latest hotel, the Palácio Tangará, due to open this summer, has a wonderfully romantic story for the designers to tell. Built by a lovelorn and very rich Brazilian, Baby Pignatari, as a magnificently romantic gesture for his wife in the late 1940s, it was surrounded by lush greenery and had the great Oscar Niemeyer as the architect and Roberto Burle Marx as the landscape designer. As his love and marriage died so did his plans for the Palácio. Now the Oetker Collection is turning this romantic relic into a grand modern hotel, with every one of its 59 suites overlooking Burle Marx’s park. The aim is to capture in the designs something of the buzz and excitement surrounding São Paulo’s thriving art scene. Whilst old, romantic buildings have an enduring appeal, Patricia Urquiola in her scheme for Serena Lago di Como has sought to escape

what she perceives as “Faux Renaissance and Neo Classical designs that dominate the area” (of lake Como where the new hotel is placed). Here she has made the views and the natural surroundings the star, creating a highly contemporary hotel, made largely from natural materials, using wood, stone, wool and other fabrics. But whether carved out of old, romantic buildings or spankingly new visions of modernity, storytelling, it seems, is where hotel design is at. Those who stay want to feel they’re a bit player in a compelling narrative – it needn’t be grand, it just needs to be interesting. Whether it is the Colombe d’Or, with its wonderful artistic heritage and its refined sense of simple luxury, safari lodges in the African bush with their ethnic cultural emblems, inspired minimalist interiors inserted into romantic forts, such as Deogarh Mahal in India’s Rajasthan or cute little metropolitan boutique hotels, what the modern visitor craves is something different, authentic something with a soul and a spirit that reflects exactly who and what they are.

THRILL Charlotte Abrahams reveals the latest superyachts and private planes that exude individuality and a spirit of adventure

uxury is a given in the rarefied world of high end private transport. These days if you want your yacht or private jet to stand out, then you need to go a stage further. “Luxurious environments are no longer enough,” says Pete Cullum, CEO and founder of Cullum Bespoke, a company specialising in tenders for superyachts. “Owners are looking for more – we’re seeing superyachts increasingly being geared towards exploration for example.” The superyacht Cloudbreak is certainly more adventurer’s playground than traditional cruising ship. Built last year for a private client by the German shipyard Abeking & Rasmussen, this 72.5m yacht boasts a helicopter deck and ski room (designed, along with the rest of the supremely elegant interior, by Parisian design house Christian Liaigre) to ensure the owner can indulge his passion for heli-skiing from the comfort of his boat, while the integral wave breaker and ice belt mean that Cloudbreak is fit to explore almost any waters. Italian superyacht company Rossinavi is also picking up on this trend, linking it to the emergence of a younger consumer. Inspired by research carried out by its marketing office showing that the median age of superyacht owners is set to move down from 45-55 to 35-45 over the next 20 years, the company has just released models of three new yachts, Attitude, Project I-Tron and Mark 48, specifically designed with this younger, more thrill-seeking client in mind. American designer J. David Weiss, owner of design consultancy Designova Creative, takes the concept furthest with Mark 48. The yacht is still in development, but according to Rossinavi’s

COO Federico Rossi, the finished vessel will “allow for a truly new and exceptional lifestyle on board, [with] features [that] allow for tasting the outdoors in more high-energy ways that will be appreciated by those who love adventure sports and life on the edge of possibility.” There are, however, still plenty of superyacht owners who prefer to push the edges of possibility in an aesthetic rather than a physical sense. Bespoke has been a buzzword in high end land-based interiors for some time and now the demand for yachts designed to precisely meet the owner’s personal tastes and needs is growing fast. Jayne Alexander, whose Dovetail Agency works with The World, a residential ship consisting of 165 privately owned residences, has noticed owners asking for dining rooms that can morph into cinema rooms, while Pete Cullum has seen a spike in demand for tenders which match the main ship, both in terms of design and functionality. “Things are definitely hotting up in this area,” he says. “Traditional go-to tenders offer a time-proven but dated approach. First impressions count and a tender can be someone’s first experience of the mothership so demand for truly high-end and bespoke tenders is most certainly on the rise.” Cockwells’ new 9.m Limousine is leading the way. Built by the Cornish boat builder for a 88m superyacht, this sleekly elegant tender with its warm wood interior recently scooped the Tender and Support Vessel Design award at the prestigious 2017 ShowBoats Design Awards. The bespoke trend also has taken off in the private jet market. Savannah-based company Gulfstream now offers its clients the opportunity to customise every detail of their jet, from

the configuration of rooms to the style of hand stitching on the upholstery. “Anything is possible, just as long as we can get it certified for flight by the aviation authorities,” says Tray Crow, the company’s director of interior design. “We have mounted art on the cabin bulkhead, for example, and woven fibre optic lighting into a carpet.” Demand for this level of personalisation is so strong that Gulfstream has recently opened its first Sales and Design Centre outside of America. Based in London’s Mayfair, it allows clients not only to see the options, but to see them in-situ courtesy of some very hi-tech 3D visualisation software. “Gulfstream spends a lot of time discussing the mission of the aircraft with its customers so we can be sure they get an aircraft that meets their needs for range, speed and performance,” Crow explains. “The same is true for the interior. In fact, the aircraft interior is highly personalised and most reflective of the customers buying and using it.” Eddie Sotto, founder of US-based experiential design and brand studio SottoStudios/LA agrees. “Aircraft manufacturers are now beginning to 58

see more customers expecting bespoke options in their interiors that go beyond the typical catalogue finish selections,” he says. His response has been a jet interior featuring seating in which every last detail, right down to the saddle leather seat belts, is fully customisable.

“Customers expect bespoke options in their interiors that go beyond the typical” SkyRanch, as the project is known, is adaptable to a variety of aircraft and, as the name suggests, the interior’s spirit of relaxed elegance was inspired by land-based ranches. Natural materials feature everywhere – burlap and wood on the walls, lots of soft, supple leather upholstery and even a bison horn beer tap – and since no ranch is complete without

a view, he has incorporated Brazilian airplane manufacturer Embraer’s exclusive portraitscale window. “It’s the biggest [window] in aviation history,” Sotto says, “because we wanted to create that open feel you have on the latest yachts.” Superyachts and private jets are growing ever closer in design terms. Cloudbreak’s curved and lacquered cabin walls, for example, take their inspiration from aeroplanes, while Eddie Sotto’s previous jet interior, SkyYacht One, was directly inspired by the 1939 motor yacht Thunderbird, designed for the American tycoon George Whittell Jr. With its hand painted, tromp l’oeil mahogany hull/underbelly and planted and pegged bulkhead walls, SkyYacht One is an exquisitely crafted celebration of the excitement of travel. And that, really, is what it is all about. The interiors of the finest superyachts and chicest jets may be becoming ever more refined and ever more like a highly personalised home from home, but the overall aesthetic of a luxury ship or a private plane is still driven by its primary purpose – to enable its passengers to explore the open sea or the open sky.

The pick of the most exciting new products this season

New to GLADEE LIGHTING is US furniture company Oly Studio. This season it seeks inspiration from the natural world: the capiz-shell finish of this ‘Serena’ cabinet adds a unique textural quality. NOBILIS has teamed up with chic Paris-based architect and interior designer Sarah Lavoine. The Apostrophe collection debuts bold panoramas that reflect her instinctive style, passion for colour and ability to surprise.

Africana is a huge trend this season, appearing in new collections from Cole & Son and Gastón & Daniela at Abbott & Boyd. Check out ROBERT ALLEN’s ‘Carob’ fabric, which gives a nod to the intricate beauty of baskets woven by Zulu and Fulani tribes of the sub-Sahara.

This carved plaster wall sconce from NICHOLAS HASLAM LTD pays homage to 1930s artist Serge Roche. See more of their impeccable taste in a new book, ‘Signature Spaces: The Well-Traveled Interiors of Paolo Moschino & Philip Vergeylen’, which profiles their individual approach to design.

Blur, TAI PING’s latest collection, was inspired by vintage photography techniques. Its abstract aesthetic manages to be both dreamily nostalgic – evoking memories of an era before the arrival of smartphones – and refreshingly modern.

GETTING AROUND Resembling hand painted and patterned tiles, ‘Porto’ by fashion designer Jean-Paul Gaultier is inspired by the Portuguese city’s traditional tilework. It’s just one of the patterns from his typically maverick first wallcovering collection for LELIEVRE.

PROVASI champions luxury furniture, rooted in Italian artisan traditions. With a deep knowledge of designs from bygone eras, hand carved pieces in wood are created with particular attention paid to precious detailing, rich finishes and proportion.

With its irregularly spaced legs and bright orange lacquer finish, the ‘Ybu’ table by Christophe Delcourt takes a more daring approach to design. See this new arrival by the French designer at CHRISTOPHE DELCOURT AT GMR INTERIORS in Design Centre East.

No-one does bespoke hand-made cabinetry like CHRISTOPHER PEACOCK, and its longevity – 25 years in the design business – is a tribute to its success. The detail that goes into each scheme repays close attention, so head to Design Centre East to see the craftsmanship up close.

Japanese paper mixed with banana fibre gives this wallcovering from BRIAN YATES a loose, collage-like appearance – and as no two sections are the same, every room it’s used in will be unique.

Craftsmanship is a forte at Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour. These handmade beauties from VIA ARKADIA (TILES) are just right for bringing an eclectic, ‘new bohemian’ feel to an interior.

Its slender frame was originally inspired by the shape of a walking stick, and the Progetti collection has matured gracefully, too. To celebrate 30 years since the design was created, GIORGETTI is introducing a series of limited editions, starting with a version in beech, giving a new visual lightness to its elegant profile.
