What about the new Starck hotel in Venice?

Emanuele Garosci + Philippe Starck + design hotel group = Palazzina Grassi

The new 5 stars hotel open in Venice, with 16 bedrooms & 6 apartment suits a cosy private members-only club and a stunning restaurant.

You can recognize the Starck style: White colour, backlit mirrors, onyx furnitures, object hijack... the idea was to make field venetian the guest and break with the venetian style. We love the transparent glass wardrobes on the middle of the apartment suit.

Emanuele Garosci says: “There was a need in Venice for something new, to go against the traditional way of thinking about Venice – Starck was the answer. Palazzina Grassi is more like a private club, a combination of a hotel and very unique spaces where guests can live as a Venetian.”


The restaurant, we can find soft lighting and unique pieces of Venetian glass, Napoleon's style chairs, on the ground floor PG’s restaurant and bar offers a masterpiece in art and design in the form of two seven-metre long monolithic dinner tables, one made of marble and the other of mirrored glass and a show kitchen. Throughout the hotel visitors will find valuable books, antique pieces, mahogany and unique artworks.

Nice job again...

Underwater hotel

This Hotel be supose to open this year in Istanbul, Turkey. The rumor is it's called "Poseidon" and it will be a 7 stars hotel. Developed by Tarnriverdi for a budget of $ 500 million.
The room will be 550 square feet (51m2). It sounds like the first of these Poseidon Resorts is due to open in Fiji $15,000 per person for 6 nights, becarefull for 4 nights on a beachfront room and 2 night in the underwater room.

Personnaly I wonder:

- Is the security and accecibility law is the same under the sea? Who can advice and control? To my opinion stairs sould be an obligation.
- Will people will be reimburse if they realise that they couldn't spleed with dolphins looking at them? Are dolphins paid to watch people?
- If you can close shutters? (hihi ;)) No in fact what is the luminance in the underwater, a fullmoon night for example?
- If you can see your neighbourg? thanks to the picture you can.
- What about the claustrophobia?
- What is the real satisfaction to be on a "incredible" place if you just... sleep?
- Ok it's a fantastique project... but they can have a interior designer, they have to.

When art meet hotel

Calligraphy? A medieval practise? When friar were writing during hours to make a book. Not exactly, today you know it's better to speak about "Graffiti"... Even is it's wall and not books, it's made by hand!

Graffiti, do you mine the illegal fact to write something anywhere in the city? Yes, not everywhere, only the best place to be seen by more people possible. This practise appear in the 60 thank to the apparition of aerosol paint. (In fact I prefer to say that it exist since Lascaux caves (approximatly -16 000 before JC).



In fact that horrible criminal are in fact great creator and today graffiti is considerate to be art. (See the Agnes B gallery, or the last year "Tag" exibition in Grand Palais, Paris.
