Philip Starck just did it again !!
Philipe Starck's creativity and his capacity to dream never ceases to amaze me .I am absolutely captivated by him .He has created an amazing univers of icons...a dreamy parallel universe where you have the feeling of entering another reality. I would like to take a glimse into his mind I bet it would be like walking through a surrealist whimsy.
"When I design, I don’t consider the technical or commercial parameters so much as the desire for a dream that humans have attempted to project onto an object". — Philippe Starck

In 2008, the famous hotel closed after a memorable "Demolition party" which attracted artists from all over the world and the luxury hotel, designed by Philippe Starck, reopen last 2010-12-22 with a unique formula dedicated to art ....Art is everywhere in Le Royal Monceau
The starting point of his inspiration was the 1930s, a magnificent period for Parisian luxury hotels There are hints of Cocteau and Dalf in some of the details àosen by Philippe Starck.

"Le Royal Monceau is a project which has made real a dream of creating somewhere different: somewhere nourished with its own history and vibrations, as well as with Paris; a sentimental space woven from encounters, sensations and emotions, inhabited by the French spirit, impregnated with culture, and dedicated to the sole genuine elegance: that of the heart.It all started with the desire to remodel the classic codes of luxury hotels and so project them into a new dimension.
