Boutique Design New York opens its doors on 14-15 November 2021, revealing new trends in a sector that has had to reinvent its approach in our unprecedented times. With highly acclaimed companies from all over the world and the visions of a contemporary condition that has radically altered design codes, BDNY narrates the quintessence of hospitality in two days, bringing together designers, architects, buyers, hoteliers, developers and producers.
Co-located with ICFF (International Contemporary Furniture Fair) + WantedDesign Manhattan, as well as HX: The Hotel Experience Powered by AAHOA, the strategic selection of interior design elements unfolds through various product categories: Amenities, Architectural Materials, Art & Accessories, Bath & Spa, Beds/Bedding, Electronics, Fabrics, Floorcoverings, Furniture, Lighting, Outdoor, Signage, Surfacing Materials, Tabletop, Wallcoverings and Window Treatments.
The fil rouge is the evolution of design culture, narrated by innovative products presented by companies like Bernhardt Hospitality, Gloster, Crate&Barrel, Florida Seating, Interiors from Spain with the brands Kriskadecor, Marset, Grato, RS Barcelona, Sancal, Nanimarquina, iSimar…
Innovations in the world of hospitality, also conveyed through a series of talks, round tables and site-specific installations such as Designed Spaces, where design becomes the protagonist of refined lounges, exclusive cafes and convivial places. Every display has been formulated by an important team of sector professionals, and furnished with products from the exhibitors of BDNY: Hyatt, for example, presents “Unapologetically Thompson,” a setting to reflect on the modern, sophisticated aesthetic of the New York brand, amidst daring features and sculptural shapes, brutalist inspirations and soft forms. Voyage into… by Jeffrey Beers International – the partner Nikoletta Stagias explains – “reflects JBI’s embrace of project-specific narratives in combination with our current thoughts on our present situation.” In a landscape of deep waters, with colorful organic forms, visitors are immersed in a sensory experience conveyed by furnishings, works of art and lighting design.
Villa Le Meridien by Marriott International and Saguez&Dash is like an elegant New York penthouse wrapped in a “French glamour” atmosphere, an authentic oasis of the imagination that can be transformed: a café during the day, a cocktail lounge in the evening. “The concept was originally inspired by the photography of Slim Aarons and the idea of hosting a chic house party,” says Linda Laucirica, senior director for design and project management of Marriott.
Finally, Bijou by Sims Patrick Studio is like a “treasure chest of curiosities” contained in the concept of a futuristic New Age speakeasy. A closed box, apparently anonymous, where you can cross the threshold and plunge into a world of discovery and wonder: a surreal monochrome shelter featuring interactive artworks, organic forms and linear geometries, 1920s graphics and a touch of the avant-garde.
On 15 November, during the eagerly awaited gala of the Gold Key Awards in collaboration with Boutique Design New York, the winners will be announced in the oldest and most prestigious honors of the hospitality sector – finalists also include the Splendido Mare hotel in Portofino – along with the Judges’ So Cool winner, the Designer of the Year and unexpected special events.
