Hotel Designs

Design

Raised on a platform and framed by bold red and green pillars, the ‘Day Bed’ structure feels at once playful and monumental. A fusion of sharp lines and organic shapes, the installation is industrial yet sumptuous. Low stools and benches in bright, Crayola hues are scattered across the tiled courtyard, inviting visitors to pause and take in the scene. With its bold palette of Plaza red and garden green, Uchronia has transformed the Hôtel Plaza Athénée courtyard space into a contemporary cubist exhibition, where – like a strange dream – a geometric bed awaits sleep outside, encased within the white walls of historic Paris.
