proyecto fox

hotel fox


Este proyecto patrocinado por volks wagen para lanzar el modelo fox de su línea de automóviles compactos.
Se creo un equipo que llevara el proyecto. la idea era crear un hotel en el cual se diera el espacio para que jóvenes diseñadores y artistas ambientaran cuartos del mismo hotel.
De alrededor de 3000 participantes 30 fueron elegidos, para trabajar de manera libre en la propuesta de diseño y decoración desde el tapizado de las paredes hasta el mobiliario.

El resultado sobrepaso las expectativas del equipo y es todo un éxito.
Para mi infortunio el hotel esta en Ámsterdam... así que solo espero poder verlo en vivo y en directo algún día ...

AMADORI



Birgit Amadori - Germany: The German illustrator Birgit Amadori has developed a rich fairytale world all of her own. Her influences range from the 19th century Czech illustrator Alfons Mucha to Japanese mythology and history as well as the Manga style. Her images uniquely combine a western and far eastern visual language in colours, patterns, planes and spaces. She recently moved to Redondo Beach in California and her work is featured regularly in international design and beauty magazines.

ANDREAS MINDT



Precise and dynamic curving lines run throughout the entire room. Fine lines become large areas, then disappearing into a counter curve. It is reminiscent of the psychedelic wallpapers of the 70s or modern “tribal tattoos”.
Vehicle details are only discovered at second glance – tail lights, wheel arches, wheel housing are visible. Sharp contrasts are mirrored in the surface of the body, therefore highlighting the reflections which appear on the car. The flow of these highlights is a benchmark for the design quality.
The type of representation is typical of computer programmes which are used to analyse the vehicle shape. It was used here to develop a seemingly two dimensional graphic of the VW Fox which then allows the third dimension to appear on closer view.
The oversized representation of the highlights opens up new ways to access the vehicle design and shows the love of detail behind the VW Fox.

SHINYA CHISATO



Kinpro – Japan: The Japanese illustrator Shinya Chisato creates little fantasy fairytale worlds with a minimal palette of harmonious and discrete forms. The symmetry and balance to be found in her work is very much part of the great graphic tradition of her country. Kinpro designs primarily for magazines and the advertising industry. She has worked for Nike and designed wallpapers for the Maxalot Exposif collection. She is perhaps best known in Japan for her Curione character for The Hokkaido Shimbun Press.

SIMONE LEGNO


Positive change. Simone is a great traveller and also loves the nomad life so he is happy to be working on hotel rooms that he himself would like to stay in and hopes too that his guests will wake up in them with a smile in the mornings. “tokidoki means ‘sometimes’ in Japanese. I chose ‘sometimes’ because everyone waits for moments that change one's destiny. tokidoki is the hope that gives us the strength to face a new day and dream something positive – that something magical will happen to us.”


tokidoki– Italy: Simone Legno, aka tokidoki, was born and grew up in Rome and now lives in L.A. It is not hard to see from his illustrations that he is a big fan of all things Japanese and has got the sexy girl imagery down to a “T”. “I love Japan,” he says, “I love everything from the ultra modern happy face of Shibuya to the serious magic silence of Kyoto.” tokidoki’s clients include MTV, John Galliano, Telecom Italia and the Central Narcotic Bureau of Singapore(!).

EIKE KÖNIG AND MARTIN LORENZ FRANKFURT



Boxed in. Hort see creating a hotel room as a responsibility: “Someone is going to live in this room for a while, they are going to breathe the atmosphere more intensely than someone just visiting like at an exhibition. This is an artificial world that will surround the hotel guest from top to bottom. This room is something that can be visited again and again – like a children’s book. There are lots of little stories in the landscape waiting to be discovered.”


Hort – Germany: Eike König and Martin Lorenz Frankfurt design team Hort has evolved over the past few years into one of Germany’s most successful design agencies internationally. Their particularly “German” style covers surfaces, textiles, photos and computer graphics and their work for the music industry and cultural institutions reflects a continuous process of reinvention. They feature regularly in the likes of Creative Review, Arkitip and This Is A Magazine and have collected a whole host of ADC awards.
