OKKO Hotel By Patrick Norguet | Hotel Design
Designer Patrick Norguet along with Olivier Devys came up with the concept of OKKO hotels which is all about an all-included package of best location, best service, and best price. This is how the idea of the contemporary and urban four star hotel OKKO was developed. The designer wanted “ a place unaffected by time or trends and where the notions of service and comfort are essential; to be able to work, dine, relax, be waited on or use anything freely, any time of the day; to feel like being home away from home. The high-end amenities and services in the modern and relaxing Okko room and in the vast and convivial Club room make the Okko hotel a unique place that combines aesthetics and comfort.”

Materials the architects focused on were stone and wood, and that’s what gave the house the charm it has.

The New Balenciaga Flagship Boutique in New York | Retail Design
To create Balenciaga’s new Manhattan flagship , brand creative director Alexander Wang, who was appointed as artistic director only a year ago, collaborated with interior designer Ryan Korban.
The boutique is characterized by its large area, high ceilings, and deep green Verde Ramegiatto covering 5400 sq.ft of the space.
“This color green was the very first thing I thought of when I started thinking about the store. It’s regal and aristocratic but also not so obvious.” said Wang. Shelves are a rich green similar to the marble, but covered in soft suede. The polished limestone-and-marble floor add to the luxurious yet real nature of the space.

The new collection is like none of the previous ones, with a focus on brass details, curved edges, exquisite materials, and a really wide variety of newly introduced pieces. it is uncommon for such luxury brands to launch such a large number of newly designed furniture during one fair. Thierry Lemaire’s influence in the collection has been mainly in the sculptural elements, such as the Artu seating shown above and the Star dining table shown in other photos.
