There’s something about awards juries that fascinate me. Every year as our judges

for the HD Awards convene, I watch with enormous interest as the group of fi ve

become one. Most of them don’t know each other, and if they do it’s most often

casually. Over the day, however, a kinship develops, born from the intensity of

the task at hand. Each group takes the assignment incredibly seriously and if the

consensus they achieve isn’t to each member’s satisfaction, they have developed a

respect for one other that overcomes whatever dismay they might have over the

fi nal decision. (I’m also intrigued that many times projects that have been lavishly

awarded elsewhere don’t fi nd similar favor

with our judges, while others ignored

elsewhere are lauded here). Juries are

unpredictable and often inscrutable, and

that’s why I’m fascinated.

So many thanks to our singular crew:

Michelle Agnese, Riscala Agnese Design

Group; Wid Chapman, Wid Chapman

Architects; Lisa Simeone, Simeone Deary

Design Group; Philip Koether, Philip

Koether Architects; and Chris Sheffi eld,

SLDesign.

As for the awards competition itself,

project manager Jana Schiowitz has reason

for optimism: “This year, we received over 50

more entries than last. It’s great to see that

funding is being put towards the completion

of projects both big and small, both here in the U.S. and abroad. The entries came

from around the globe and truly showcase the themes of design today: simplicity,

cultural awareness, and versatility. These pages will bring you on a journey starting

from upbeat cities like Miami and New York to faraway places like Florence and

Puerto Rico. We hope you enjoy looking at these very deserving projects.”

On another note, we learned recently that designer Cheryl Rowley is closing

shop and heading north to be full-time with her family. Cheryl has always been a

class act as well as a wonderful designer, and I’m sad that we won’t be seeing any

more of her terrifi c work…at least for awhile. As she says in her candid interview on

page 66, she’ll always be a designer, so we’ll hope for the best. Until then, we’ll miss

her artistic sensibility in the magazine and her effervescent demeanor at HD events.

Have a wonderful life, Cheryl…but please don’t be a stranger.

Well it’s show time, so you know what that means: Things are pulling together

like a well-orchestrated production on Broadway, and there aren’t enough hours

in the day. As I write this, HD Expo is three weeks away and I am once again

marveling at how strong my team is in putting every aspect of the expo together

without missing a beat. By the time you read this letter it will all be over, but I

would love to hear the comments from those of you who joined us in Las Vegas

about what you experienced, what you liked, and what inspired you most.

Last month, I talked a bit about sustainability and what we can all do to live

and work as “green” as possible. This month

I want to introduce you to someone I fi nd

inspiring.

Steven Spann spent 10 years in the

fi nancial world before he decided to do what

he loves most—create art. Trash=Art is the

name of the series of paintings and artwork

he has produced using recycled materials such

as burlap, fabric, cardboard, broken chairs,

and Styrofoam. You can see some of his work

on his website stevenspann.com, but if you

had come to HD Expo, you could have seen

him “live” creating art from the detritus that

was accumulated throughout the show. His

appearance was sponsored by Integra, and

proceeds from the sale of his art benefi tted the

Susan G. Komen for the Cure breast cancer

foundation.

Looking forward, I am eager to tell you about some of the new things we are

bringing to HD Boutique in Miami this year. Most notably we’ll be celebrating

the 10th anniversary of HD’s Wave of the Future. Not only will we be honoring

our industry’s most promising rising stars, but we will also honor many Wave of

the Future alumni. Save the date: September 13 and 14. But for now, it is on with

Vegas!

Until next month.

Best,

Liz Sommerville

MODERNLUXURY.

Robert Allen Contract features DwellStudio’s signature aesthetic, a modern twist

on classic motifs, in the first DwellStudio Hospitality Collection.Fabric:Headboard: Glazed Linen, ShaleDuvet and Sham: Dotted Frame, CharcoalThrow and Pillows: Mini Honeycomb, ShaleAdditional Pillows: Deco Dot, Pearl

The up-and-coming neighborhood of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, has seen a slew of development in terms of condos and restaurants in the last year. Now it is about to get its fi rst full-service, luxury boutique hotel: the Hotel Williamsburg & Residences. “I fell in love with the neighborhood—it’s not fully gentrifi ed but still has a lot of amenities,” explains Ben Graves of Graves World Hospitality, the developer of the hotel.

For the design, Graves turned to New York-based Studio Gaia for the public spaces (including a pool terrace, cocktail lounge, and rooftop bar) and the 64 guestrooms (PleskowRael Architecture handled the sunken restaurant). “It’s bold and strong with geometrical lines and shapes,” explains Heaohn Lee, Studio Gaia’s senior designer. The hotel’s orange travertine stones at the entrance lead guests inside, where the lobby is done in a beige, black, and orange color palette paired with materials like glass tiles, charred wood, and stainless steel for “a modern, yet industrial version of Williamsburg”; and the center of the lobby is defi ned by an underfoot trickling river of water punctuated by a fi replace, which is all refl ected in the mirror-fi nished ceiling. Upstairs, guestrooms bring the nearby park indoors, thanks to a wall photograph of trees, organic leaf-shaped orange chairs, and bamboo fl oors. “The area needed a modern destination for tourists to stay in and the locals to hang out,” Lee says.

“We didn’t want it to be too slick. It really has a neighborhood feel with elements of nostalgia,” Graves adds, pointing to guestroom keys being housed in boxes behind the check-in desk, and guestrooms featuring vintage record players.

IN THE BURG

Designer Kim Deetjen of Burlington, Vermont-based TruexCullins Architecture and Interior Design has created a niche for herself: suites. Her newest is the remodel of 22 cottages and suites at the Casa Madrona Hotel & Spa in downtown Sausalito, California. “Since 1885 this historic hotel, including a Victorian mansion and the cottages, has been a symbol in the area that has a strong

nautical and artisan community in� uence,” she explains. “We wanted to incorporate the property’s history and location, as well as embrace green design concepts.” Since the spaces were small, she viewed it like designing an interior of a boat, where every inch was carefully programmed, out� tting them with wood � oors, clean lines, and a color palette that complemented and framed the breathtaking views of the San Francisco Bay. “One thing that is mandatory for a suite, unlike a guestroom, it must be multifunctional. In addition to the ultimate bed experience, both in comfort and aesthetic, the suites must have a lounging area that is a comfortable place for the business traveler to work as well as a relaxing space for vacationing families,” she says.

suite life

YOTEL, the innovative UK brand that made a name for itself with its airline cabin-inspired guestrooms, is set to open its � rst city center location—stateside. Designed by Rockwell Group in collaboration with UK-based design � rm Softroom (most famous for their work with Virgin Atlantic Airways on both the Upper Class Clubhouse at Heathrow Airport and the Upper-Class cabins on board their trans-Atlantic � ights), YOTEL New York at Times Square West, brings the ef� ciency, � exibility, and forward-thinking technology of its London and Amsterdam airport properties into an innovative, urban hotel. “Designing an environment that is transformable from the second you enter a space immediately creates a unique, modern experience for the guest,” says David Rockwell. “By focusing our design for the brand’s � rst U.S. � agship on the concept of convertibility of space, we were able to bring a dynamic experience to travelers and New Yorkers alike.”

“A key design challenge has been to develop a personality that strikes the right balance between ef� ciency and warmth,” says Softroom director Oliver

Salway, “It’s more like product design on a giant scale. Every detail contributes towards the comfort and convenience of the guest, while at the same time being elegant and emotionally appealing.”

Highlights in the 669 guest cabins include a bed that transforms into a space-saving lounging position at the touch of a button, a Techno Wall that houses a � atscreen TV and storage components, and a sleek, modern bathroom wrapped in glass; 19 � rst cabin suites, some with private outdoor terraces and jacuzzis; three VIP two-cabin suites equipped with

rotating beds to maximize the unparalleled views of the Manhattan skyline, three-sided cube-like � replaces, a billiard table, and wraparound terraces.

The property will also be home to FOUR, a partnership between YOTEL and chef Richard Sandoval that boasts close to 18,000 square feet of transformable public space, including Dohyo, a 110-seat restaurant created in the size and scope of a traditional Japanese Sumo wrestling ring, with a hydraulic-controlled � oor that

can be raised and lowered, a lounge and bar with DJ booth, gym, studio space for events and cinema screenings, and a 4,000-square-foot outdoor terrace, the largest of any hotel in New York City.

And even jaded New Yorkers passing by can’t help but be intrigued by YOBOT—a theatrically lit robotic baggage drop-off machine whose inner workings are exposed to create a mechanical performance for the guests as it loads and stores their belongings.

Hilton Hotels & Resorts is re-thinking its lobby experience, part of a three-phase $40 million renovation of the Hilton McLean Tysons Corner in Virginia. “When I joined Hilton, one of our � rst mandates was to become a design-driven organization, so we set about working with the brands to create a

refresh plan of attack,” explains Larry Traxler, Hilton’s senior vice president, global design services. “We are feeding the lobby with adjacent energy centers, making it iconic and memorable, and making it a space that you would circulate to instead of through.” For this, the Hilton team worked with Atlanta-based TVS on the McLean property, and Toronto- and New York-based Yabu Pushelberg on a design narrative/DNA document, a manual that

enables other hotels and owners to incorporate the principals as guidelines.First, a lot of effort went into opening up the building façade. “Lobby

design doesn’t start when you walk into the lobby, it starts at the street,” Traxler says. The imposing reception desk is no longer. Instead there’s a

residentially inspired piece of furniture sized appropriately for one of two people backed by a signi� cant piece of art. Meanwhile, an 18-hour bar acts as the anchor, greeting guests as they walk into the hotel, which features a sculptural light element that transforms throughout the day. (There’s a “magic” glass cube that hides grab-and-go breakfast and lunch items to get ready for cocktail hour.) “We wanted to activate the lobby space throughout the course of the day by transforming architectural elements,” Traxler says.

Besides various seating areas suitable for ad hoc meetings or those traveling alone, there is a technology lounge out� tted with work stations and a communal table. And as the name implies, Hearth, a new spin on a three-meal restaurant, features � replaces and � re elements throughout, many at the front of the space to “draw guests in, like a moth to a � ame,” Traxler says.

Next up: a re-concept of the Hilton guestrooms.

With luxury today being more about personalization and experience, chartered yachting vacations are on the rise. “Yachting is exclusive in a way which even the best hotels and villas can’t match—tailor made holidays with a dedicated crew available 24 hours a day and a world of destinations, many of which can be enjoyed only from a

yacht,” explains Charlie Birkett, co-founder and CEO of YCO, which specializes in such vacations. “It sounds surprisingly simple, but time is a precious commodity and our clients recognize the value in anything which improves the quality of that time.”

The most sought-after boats: sailing yachts. Take Elena, restored to look like the original boat of the same name, one of the best performing racing yachts in the early 1900s. And Birkett says they’ve seen an increased interest in destinations that are off the beaten track. “New luxury is about exclusivity, but also about being unique and smart,” he says.

Famed Chicago architect Louis Sullivan surely would be proud that the last signi� cant building he designed before his death in 1914 has become the � rst luxury hotel in the city’s Loop since the Palmer House was constructed in 1873. JW Marriott Chicago opened its doors in November in Sullivan’s historic Continental & Commercial National Bank Building. The $396 million redevelopment overhauled the building’s � rst 12 � oors and added 610 guestrooms, a restaurant, spa, and pool, while retaining and restoring the building’s classical marble, ballrooms, and original domed ceiling. DiLeonardo International was hired to design the interior, updating it yet maintaining Sullivan’s architectural motifs; the landmark has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 2007. “It was refreshing to work on an elegant, classic design after working on so many fresh, contemporary designs around the globe,” says DiLeonardo’s Robert Macaruso. “The classical order of the interior architecture de� ned the spaces and provided a backdrop for an elegant, and still current palette.”

To revamp its Monaco brand across its Chicago, Denver, and Salt Lake City properties, Kimpton brought in Intra-Spec. “We wanted to incorporate the local allure of the city into the design,” says Susan Caruso, president of the Marina Del Rey, California-based design � rm. “For Salt Lake City we feature modernized classic patterns and a boudoir pillow with a salt shaker sprinkling snow on a mountain range for a bit of fun. For Denver, big bronco cowboy country, we have a bronco on the boudoir pillow and a pony throw on the bed, as well as horse-themed modern artwork, and lots of bold, adventurous color. Chicago is more architecturally inspired, with a white faux leather

chaise and an intricate headboard that envelops an oval mirror. The window seats are a great addition; you can actually lounge in the window seat and enjoy the amazing city views.”

Throughout the properties, rich mahogany and silverleaf-accented casegoods with black glass tops feature surprising pops of color inside; chic accent wallcoverings set off each of the three custom headboards; and Caruso used lots of sexy cut velvets, damasks, and geometric detailing.

Caruso says working with historical buildings (all three properties date from the early 1900s) was a double-edged sword: each had a story of its own, but making the rooms all function with so many different layouts was a big challenge. “Although the designs are quite different, they all share a luxurious modern sensibility with lots of international touches,” she says.

triple threat



For Mamoz, a new 5,000-square-foot bar spanning the top two fl oors of the Cubus building in Hong Kong, design fi rm Gettys was inspired by one of Italy’s greatest wines: Barolo. “That lush, velvety sensation that you get when you take your fi rst sip of wine; we wanted to translate that taste sensation into the interiors,” says Ariane Steinbeck, managing director of the Gettys Hong Kong offi ce. “And hopefully project the feeling that one glass may not be enough.”

One of the highlights is the 26-foot-long handcrafted bar made from Indonesian timber. “The uneven but smooth edge recalls the texture of the vine itself, and its length, the long rows of vines in the vineyards,” says Steinbeck.

With a mix of textures and materials, including bronze and leather furnishings with soft upholstery and walls swathed in damask-patterned leather, a double-height decorative screen uniting the two fl oors, fl oor-to-ceiling windows boasting views toward the city and Victoria Harbour, and self-proclaimed naughty unisex bathrooms, Gettys created a space that Steinbeck describes as more Catherine Deneuve than Lindsey Lohan. “We wanted the environs to be sophisticated and timeless—not desperately screaming for attention as so many bars do.”

In his almost 50-year career, Sol Kerzner, chairman and CEO of

Kerzner International Holdings Limited, has opened more than 50

resorts across several global markets, founded both of South Africa’s

largest hotel groups, and was recognized by Queen Elizabeth II for

outstanding contributions made to business and communities in

the Bahamas, achieving Royal Knighthood this past December. Not

to mention that the hotel and gaming entrepreneur was recently

honored several times over: receiving the ILTM UltraTravel Lifetime

Achievement Award for his dedication to travel in Cannes; the

Variety Club Children’s Charity’s Lifetime Achievement Award for

raising money for sick, disabled, and disadvantaged children; Cornell

University’s School of Hotel Administration’s Hospitality Innovator of

the Year Award; and the Hospitality Sales and Marketing Association

International Albert E. Koehl Lifetime Achievement Award. There’s

no stopping the 75-year-old—he frequents the Kerzner properties,

spends time between his four homes, and continues to reinvent

the resort industry one brand at a time. Here, Kerzner sheds light

on believing in the power of social media, what makes the perfect

destination, and determination as a lesson learned.

HD: You were recently

honored with several lifetime

achievement awards. Did

you ever think you would

come this far?

SK: When I started working

in hospitality in 1962, I wanted to do one thing: blow away the

customer. Forty years and over 50 resorts later, this philosophy

remains the core value of Kerzner International. To create something

so spectacular, so unbelievable it feels like a living fantasy. When

people go on vacation, they want to escape their everyday lives and

it is my job as a hotelier to imagine and create a world where they

can do just that.

HD: What kind of sacrifi ces have you made along the way?

SK: Time on the road and away from my family. I’m 75 now and

still working as hard as I did when I was 30. The tough economic

conditions over the past few years have required my team to work

harder than ever before. I have never known tough trading conditions

like we have lived through recently and this adds a lot of stress. I love

what I do and always have. I tend not to think of things that I need

to do for work as sacrifi ces.

HD: What is the key to staying innovative

and successful?

SK: I have always believed that to

be successful in the hotel world you

must be able to adapt and reinvent

yourself. Always take into account the

fundamentals like natural assets and the

destination. Entertainment has always

been a key component of the Kerzner

resort product. Sometimes we do this on

a smaller scale, like having a great band

in a restaurant, and other times, we do

it on a much larger scale like the many

events we stage at our resorts, such as

the Atlantis LIVE concert series with

musical artists such as Justin Bieber, Katy

Perry, and Taylor Swift; Battle 4 Atlantis,

an eight-team pre-season men’s college

basketball tournament; the Miss Universe

pageant; etc. In both Atlantis properties,

the Bahamas and Dubai, we have built

facilities for conferences that also serve as

venues for entertainment events.

This is especially true when talking

about social media. I must admit, even

no slowing down

perspectives interview: sol kerzner

I was a skeptic at fi rst. How

could something like Facebook or

Twitter change the landscape of

the travel industry? It just didn’t

seem possible. And yet, here I

am today, believing in the power

of social media. Atlantis and

One&Only are able to be part of

the online conversation and in

turn, gain some valuable insight

on our own product. We quickly

determined that to be successful

in this new world, a resort must

remain authentic and relevant. By

doing this, our fans become the

brand ambassadors. Today our

posts range from seasonal deals

to updates on the marine life at

Dolphin Cay. Word-of-mouth is an

incredibly powerful force and we

are fi nding that the younger and

more tech-savvy audience relies

on these crowd-sourced reviews like Twitter and Facebook to make

their travel plans.

HD: Your career spans more than 45 years. What is the most

important lesson learned?

SK: My determination and persistence to never give up and to get

things done is the best way I can describe what I have learned. Some

people call it courage. I don’t really know what to call it. In this

competitive world, some people get the lucky breaks and take risks

that pay off and others don’t always get it right or have good luck. It’s

the way the world works fortunately or unfortunately—depends on

where you are and what you want.

HD: What does the idea of a perfect destination mean to you?

SK: With Atlantis, Paradise Island, in the Bahamas I had an

ideal climate, increasing airlift into the destination and the

local government’s support of tourism. You should research the

competition and see how they are doing in the market. Make sure

there is the potential to create something unique that the customer

will respond to. For instance, with Atlantis, the Palm in Dubai, there

was nothing else that existed like that hotel in the current market-

place. Be sure you can deliver great service. Always factor in the

people and resources that will be required to train. And fi nally, take

a hard look at the local business culture.

HD: How do you go about choosing locations for your properties?

SK: I always try to stay current with world trends and ideas. I like

to know what’s going on. In briefi ng my teams, I try to give them big

ideas or the ‘essence’ of the concept we are trying to create. I fi nd

that if you have chemistry with a group of talented people then the

creative process usually fl ows well from there. Finally, you have to

watch the competition very carefully. Not only in

your specifi c sector, but also in related businesses

like food and beverage, entertainment, music, and

fashion.

HD: The One&Only brand is known for its

one-of-a-kind, luxurious accommodations and

personalized services. Why are these elements

so important when providing a unique guest

experience?

SK: The One&Only formula for success can be

simplifi ed into fi ve basic concepts: added value, personal details,

engaging programming, authenticity, and service. In order to remain

top-of-mind, we have implemented a more comprehensive returning

guest communication strategy that highlights these values. Our

team has aggressively sought out like-minded partners to increase

brand awareness and create innovative offerings for our guests. For

example, we entered into a partnership with Physique 57, a workout

system in New York City and Los Angeles, to create exclusive retreats

at One&Only Ocean Club and One&Only Palmilla.

HD: During the last few years, your brands have expanded even

more so across the globe. Why did you choose new markets like

Dubai?

SK: I read a lot of periodicals and follow current affairs to learn

about what is new in the world. For instance, when we were looking

to expand in Dubai, we took into account that the Dubai Tourism

Authority actively and effectively promotes the destination, not to

mention Dubai has one of the best airlines in the world. We continue

to watch and search for new emerging markets to destinations that

provide attractive offers and incentives.

HD: How is One&Only the Palm different from its sister properties?

SK: We believe the government’s continuous commitment to

developing tourism in the region combined with all the destination

has to offer and its easy international access makes it the perfect

place for us to expand the One&Only portfolio. One&Only the Palm,

which opened in November, is comprised of just 90 keys and four

private beachfront villas. It is Dubai’s fi rst true beach resort and acts

as a private residential-style escape for guests to enjoy spectacular

views of the city skyline in a chic and very boutique setting.

Patrick Jouin is a man of many talents. Since starting his Parisian

fi rm in 1998, he has mastered the art of elegantly marrying form and

function, creating products for the likes of Alessi, Ligne Roset, and

Bernhardt, and spaces for industry greats such as Alain Ducasse. And

that’s just the beginning: he had a hand in Paris’ bicycle system and

designed the city’s public toilets. Most recently, 10 years of his product

work was on display in New York (his fi rst exhibition stateside) at the

Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) which showcased the likes of his

much-copied cascading glass bubble chandelier for Leucos; a spatula

that has a notch so it can rest on a jar instead of on the counter; and

chairs made with a new technology called stereolithography, where a

laser beam makes the object, turning liquid

resin solid. “My practice is going from

craftsman to high-tech, from hospitality

to big industry like cars,” he says. We

caught up with the prolifi c designer in New

York, where he talked design as theater,

communication as a key to success, and his

dislike of things that are fake.

HD: What did you want to showcase with

your MAD exhibit, Design & Gesture?

PJ: I showed my work a few months ago in

Paris, and it was more about the process of

design—the relation of the fabricator, the

client, but there was a lack of something.

This [exhibition is] to understand why it

was designed this way. It’s the gesture, the

beauty. It’s not only form and function,

which is already not easy to achieve, but

it’s also to design a gesture and the beauty

of a gesture. Design is not a shape; if it is

only a shape it doesn’t work. If it is only a

function, it’s the same. We are trying to go

beyond that. Every time I try to fi nd a trick

with the object. It is not super obvious; it

has to be elegant. It’s always an organic

way to mix gesture, usage, technology,

brand in one thing.

HD: You are in town for another

exhibition called Set in Style for Van Cleef & Arpels at the Cooper-

Hewitt Museum, which you designed.

PJ: The Cooper-Hewitt is at the Carnegie mansion, this beautiful

house. The mansion is beautifully crafted, more than 100 years ago,

and Van Cleef was created at the same time. I really tried to make

them speak together, so when you enter, architecture reveals the

jewelry and jewelry reveals the architecture. It is natural. The idea

is to do something that is a beautiful

souvenir, but at the same time, create an

emotion. It is not easy to understand this

kind of beauty; it needs a lot of sensitivity

and you have to be weak and open to be

sensitive. I always try to make an emotion,

so you open your heart, your mind, your spirit. The same goes for

a restaurant. Maybe you have lost something, you are unhappy

with your day of work, and today is a bad day, you are in bad mood.

You open the door and I have to change your mood. The exhibition

is like this.

HD: How did you get involved with the

exhibition?

PJ: I have been working with Van Cleef

for years. I designed the original store

in Paris. [The company] is very close to

my spirit: I like this idea of enchantment,

fantasy, and femininity. Van Cleef is a good

fi t for me.

HD: Hospitality-wise, what are you working on?

PJ: We are working on the Mandarin Oriental in Paris, two

restaurants and a bar for chef Thierry Marx, his fi rst restaurant in

Paris. With a chef like this, who is very creative and cutting edge,

that is what we have done with the design. It has to be a beautiful

moment, but I don’t want guests to be uncomfortable. And I want to

surprise them at the same time, so they can understand

what Thierry Marx is doing.

HD: The restaurant industry, especially fi ne dining,

is evolving. What’s your take on the restaurant

industry today? Are chefs asking for anything

different?

PJ: Here [in New York] it is really incredible—

restaurant design has become theater. You make

a project and two years after it is gone. I had a

restaurant with Ducasse called Mix. It was a beautiful

project, but it wasn’t the right street, so it is gone. It was

on 58th Street—it should have been in the Meatpacking

District.

What has changed is that now chefs are more conscious—for the

chef, it is very important to work with a designer, with an architect,

with a lighting designer. It has become a whole experience. Now

everything is designed, which is making everything better, and at the

same time, it is harder for a designer. The consumer knows much

better, and is much more of a critic. When you are a professional,

you try to make things perfect, but at the same time, the touch of a

chef, a chef ’s personality, can disappear. You can have the right mood,

the right fabric, the right thing, but it is not the chef anymore, and

that’s not good. There is a devil in every project, you just have to fi nd

it. I spend a lot of time with the chef, not ‘I like blue, no I like green,’

but to really understand what he is trying to create—the kind of food,

what a waiter is for a chef, what a knife is for a chef. It is a team

project. Context is important. I was lucky to work with Ducasse. He

is an incredible professional. He has traveled all over the world and

has absorbed so much information. A great teacher.

HD: Is there a restaurant fad that you would like to do away with?

PJ: I don’t really like the restaurants that look old that are brand

new. They are well done, but they are fake. When you arrive in a

little restaurant in the middle of Paris or New York that has not

changed in the last 100 years, you say, ‘this is so great.’ It’s like when

you see someone with an old car, you think they’re nice, even if they

aren’t. It’s the same for a restaurant.

HD: Are you working on any cool non-restaurant hospitality

projects?

PJ: We are doing an incredible project for Swatch in Shanghai, the

Swatch Art Peace Hotel. One level is for Swatch shops—Swatch,

Omega, Breguet, Blancpain. After that you have levels where there

will be artist studios—artists are coming from all over the world,

and Swatch is giving them a lodge where they can create for three

weeks or six months. One level has three incredible hotel suites. And

another has a restaurant and terrace.

HD: What is the design concept?

PJ: If you were coming there, you don’t even

want to take off your coat, you just want to

start to work. We made a place that is raw and

at the same time, well-designed, but if your paint

gets on the fl oor, it’s okay. So it’s like a New York

loft feeling, but with Shanghai energy. There are a lot

of books, a lot of places for artists to meet together, the idea

of cooking is very important. Inside the studio they have a place to

shower, a bedroom, but they can also open everything up and be

linked with other artists.

HD: What are some of your recently completed projects that you

are most proud of?

PJ: The free toilet system of Paris—400 toilets. [We wanted] to make

a little pavilion in the street. The women were afraid to use them, so

we tried to make something where you feel secure. We are working

for Ubisoft, making electronic games. We are working for Alessi,

designing a new fruit bowl. We are also working on the taxi sign for

Paris. We have changed the system, so when a taxi is free it is green,

and when they have someone it’s red, and you can see it from far

away. Before it was white, but it was impossible to understand.

HD: You have designed so many products, but what do you love

about hospitality?

PJ: It makes us think a lot. Empathy is very important, so we don’t

design things for us. When I design something I will use it and see

if I like it. But that’s not enough [for hospitality]. You have to think

about everyone. That’s incredible. When you do a hotel or restaurant,

you have one shot, one prototype, you can imagine one moment—it is

almost the opposite of industrial design. It is an experience, and you

share this experience, this thought or this dream that is unique, with

someone else. It is an incredible human experience.

HD: What is the key to a successful collaboration?

PJ: Communication. Some chefs are not used to looking at drawings;

their emotion, they don’t know what to say. They will say ‘oh it’s

great,’ even if they don’t like it. You have to fi nd a way to speak

together so everyone is happy at the end. It will cost the same to

make it well or not. I try to be very sensitive. Every time it is a

different story. You have to reinvent yourself—you don’t want to copy

yourself. That is the fun part.

to new places.Flooring created for step take...every you

After 25 years with your fi rm, and 38 years in the business, you are retiring, or as you say, reinventing yourself. Why now?I went from being a senior designer at James Northcutt, to starting my � rm in the basement of my house with one employee, to a staff of 40. It’s hard not to get big when opportunities present themselves and there’s exciting, global work. I found myself, even though I was designing all the way to the end, getting further away from that, from where I started, which was a boutique company with small projects. The recession was an opportunity to look at my business and personal life. My family has been up in British Columbia—my husband for � ve years, daughter for two years. That was really the impetus. Should I continue to ride this out and build the business again or does that make any sense?

So what’s next for you?Even though I am closing my LA of� ce, I am still a designer, and always will be a designer; it’s part of who I am as a human being. I am keeping the business name, and expect I will be doing design up in Canada. First I want to take a break and regroup. There are some things I need to do personally—I own a home up in Canada, and I want to get outside and work in my garden.

What design opportunities would pique your interest?Maybe I will take on projects in keeping with what I used to do: more local, smaller, intimate. I am a child of the ’60s and ’70s and really a hippie at heart. I want to get back to doing things with my hands.

What are some of the milestone projects of your career?Personally, a huge project for me was the Hotel Hana-Maui. I started it with Northcutt and it was where I learned my chops in construction management and the essence of what good hotel design is all about. We had a fabulous client in Rosewood, particularly Bob Zimmer. That gave me the opportunity to start my own business—my � rst projects were capital improvements for Rosewood. After that was my early work for Kimpton, the Beverly Prescott in Los Angeles. That was the break out project for me—at the time everything was beige, and we put coral and ivory striped wallcovering in the guestroom, the � rst time that had ever been done. And the last big project I worked on is still in construction: the Four Seasons in St Petersburg, Russia. It is a highlight of my career.

What are your greatest lessons learned?I think listening, being a really good listener. Trying to understand not only the client and where they are coming from, but also the intrinsic nature of a project. Equally important, you cannot underestimate the amount of detail you have to pay attention to. Lastly, be out there in the world and take it in. Travel and open yourself up to different cultures, smells and tastes, experiences. And be appreciative of people. The hardest thing is saying goodbye to all the amazing talent I have had the opportunity to work with. I can’t say thank you enough.

Having an obsession with lighting

is not a bad thing as Niche Modern

founders Jeremy Pyles and Mary

Welch learned. “Jeremy would

constantly adjust the lighting,”

explains Welch, Pyles’ wife and co-

founder of the Beacon, New York-

based lighting company, adding that her

husband would also study light and light beams and take pictures

while doing so.

But Pyles, a graphic/packaging designer, and Welch, an offi ce

manager, never set out to start a lighting company: after a post-9/11

hiatus from New York took them to a barn in Cape Cod, the couple moved

back to New York in 2003 to reinvent themselves. “We were processing

a different reality and both of us were shifting gears,” says Welch. They

shifted into retail, owning a shop where Welch sold everything from

accessories to tabletop items in the front, and Pyles did design work in

an offi ce in the back.

While looking for lighting for their new store and coming up empty,

the duo came across a glassblower who helped them create their own

line of lighting. “From the minute we opened, people wanted the lights,”

explains Welch. “This was really just an experiment,” says Pyles.

An experiment-turned-bustling-business once the two became

proactive in their advertising and marketing efforts. Now their lighting

can be seen in restaurants like Twenty Five Lusk and Press Club in San

Francisco, and globally at the W Hong Kong. The company continues

to grow with the launch of the Spark Modern Chandelier collection

inspired by illuminated candles; a new glass studio being built right in

their backyard; and a venture into the furniture world. “My biggest goal

as a designer is to create products that pass that test of simplicity, that

have that real, simple beauty,” explains Pyles.www.nichemodern.com

sweet singaporeSingapore wasn’t always a center for arts and culture. Thanks to a mid-’90s push by the government to raise its design caliber, and the resulting opening of the Esplanade performing arts center, several high-end hotel and resort projects, world renowned chef-driven restaurants, and the annual Singapore Arts Festival, the Southeast Asian country is now home to many product and fashion designers, as well as landscape, interior design, architecture, and branding � rms. At the same time, many Singaporean designers and companies are gaining recognition in some of the industry’s largest tradeshows like the iSaloni in Milan, representing one of the few Asian markets at the show. Local manufacturers are also teaming up with designers (take Singapore designer Cilicon Faytory collaborating with Eurosa for example) to launch new hospitality collections. Here, we look at � ve of Singapore’s most sought-after manufacturers, whose in-house design teams are producing goods for hospitality projects around the world.

Eurosa Furniture Co (Pte) Ltd, maker of bedroom, dining, living, of� ce, and upholstered furniture, offers modern, contemporary, and more traditional styles. The company’s newest dining table and chair collection, Julia, is shown here. www.eurosafurniture.com

Materials like stone, metal, and beveled glass and customized selections give Cheng Meng Co Pte Ltd unlimited options for its hospitality furniture offerings. A guest bathroom at a Citizen Hotel, shown here. www.chengmeng.com
