When you blog about interiors and what is happening in your particular field of hospitality interiors some things become inevitable. I have reached an inevitable point and that is " at some point you are going to write something about
Philippe Starck " The Starck Industry is extremely dynamic and as a consequence ubiquitous. The dynamism I think is fantastic the ubiquity less so but it really only applies to product and furniture.The man and his studio still produce interiors that delight and inspire. His latest offering is the reworking of a Parisian Classic Le Royal Monceau.
The all red Fumoir
Haute couture dressing room
The Long Bar which doesn't actually have a bar.
Drinks are instead served from what could be an over sized cocktail cabinet.
40's inspired bedroom suite
The Hotel closed two years ago with a demolition party where guests apparently trashed the hotel
to a DJ soundtrack. All that was preserved were the central long room, the central staircase and the hotels collection of chandeliers.
Also I want to thank all of you who visit here and especially those who leave comments. It makes it all worthwhile.

Sally-Anne Bennett, love the idea of a |"trash the olace party"!! place is pretty cool too
Sterrin Hennrich Hi Ronan, tried to write on your website but didn't work (which is surely my fault). Starck also designed one of my Yacht projects. Have a look at the link. Surprisingly I found some Interior photos which is rather rare for private Yachts. The hotel looks really cool. I must say I like his design. It looks flashy but is cosy and comfortable at the same time. He uses similar materials and especially suppliers of lights and furniture for all his projects. But why not?
