Hotel Fox gets a makeover

2
April 27th, 2010

I absolutely LOVE the decor of this hotel!! 

For the launch of the Volkswagen Fox, 21 international artists from the fields of graphic design, urban art and illustration turned Hotel Fox in Copenhagen, Denmark into an exciting and creative lifestyle hotel (with fantastic results I might add!)

There are 61 rooms in total, and each room is an individual piece of art – from graphic design, fantastic street art and Japanese Manga to spaced out fantasies.

Amazing don’t you think?  Not sure I could actually get any sleep with some of the designs, though!

Mosaic

This is a classic ‘why didn’t I think of that?’ design idea, which I was talking about in a recent previous blog!  The art of creating a mosaic has been practised for centuries but Italian company Mosaico+ has brought the technique right up-to-date.  With every colour under the sun available, any pattern is possible!

above:  the wall in itself is a work of art so frame it (top right)!

 

above: the transition from matt to shiny is perfect

 

above: a small section of mosaic can be just as striking, if not moreso…

 

 

above: form contrasting patterns using the same colourway to create or emphasise depth

Ok, so today’s post isn’t technically on travel, but I just had to share these images with you!  Some of the maps are actual wallpaper, some are a DIY job, but all look fantastic, don’t you agree?  Certain to give you the travel bug!!

I’d love this in my office…wall mural by Environmental Graphics

 

old maps in neutral colours give a classic look…
