Ett Hem Hotel, Stockholm

Ett Hem, the beautifully designed boutique hotel in Sweden, was created by Studioilse.

The 12 bedrooms are decked with natural earth tones and soft flowing linen. The interior of the rest of the hotel is sophisticated and comfortable clearly illustrating that the space is a continuation of the bedrooms.

Ruschmeyer's, Montauk

The people behind King & Grove recently renovated a lakeside woodland lodge dating from the early 50s. It reopened this summer as Ruschmeyer’s, a hotel that evokes feelings of a grown-up summer camp.

Understated nautical details feature throughout, but particularly in the Electric Eel where walls are lined with sails and drawings of boats. Simple wooden furniture ensures a modern yet warm atmosphere.

The 19 guestrooms that are dotted around a central garden are kept simple, with panelled walls painted white and curtains strung like sails. Chairs come in the shape of hammocks and beds are finished off with wicker-threaded headboards and fine linens from Frette. Details like unusual bronze lights and nostalgic imagery enhance the feeling of escapism that the rooms envoke.

Mondrian Miami Review By B3 Designers

Marcel Wanders designs for Morgan’s Hotel Group

Although Marcel Wanders previous work includes other hotel design work (such as the Lute Suites), the Mondrian Miami is his first full scale hotel project. Conceived as a ‘Sleeping Beauty’s Fairy Castle’ by the designer, the interior has a surreal contemporary baroque touch; chic but playful.
The interior design features opulent furniture in painted and upholstered in bright red, chandeliers encased in large golden bells and flowery motifs on walls and floors. The surreal quality is visible in the columns which look like over sized turned table legs and a large black staircase which spirals through the building. The staircase balustrade is made from fret cut black metal which allows this imposing structure to still look quite delicate. The hotel rooms feature many of Wanders own designs and continue the chic, playful baroque scheme.
