Singapore Hotel Unveils Chanel & Warhol Inspired Rooms

image

When the worlds of contemporary art and high-end fashion collide you know the result is going to be high-octane and glamorous.

Earlier this year, luxury hotel Naumi in Singapore spruced up its guestrooms with Coco Chanel and Andy Warhol inspired themes.

The chic 73-room hotel, which is located slap bang in the middle of Singapore’s central business district, is a stone’s throw away from the Suntec Convention Centre, the Formula One Track and a myriad of inner-city shopping centres.

With chic monochrome and pale green hues, both rooms are decked with designer furnishings, featuring an origami pendant lamp. Artistic interpretations of Coco Chanel’s iconic flower the Camellia grace the walls, alongside lush floor-to-ceiling silk curtains.

The stylish rooms also feature large bathrooms with a powerful rain-shower, and a smokescreen bathroom glass panel that switches from clear to frosted at the touch of a button – how cool! We love the colossal freestanding bathtub.

If high-end fashion is not your thing then the equally glamorous art inspired rooms may just tick the right boxes. A combination of quirky and fun, the rooms bring a playful and urban ambiance.

“Art is what you can get away with,” said Andy Warhol. And artistic license reigns in the Andy Warhol inspired rooms, Eden and Nirwana. Decadently and stylishly designed, with standout furniture featuring the Andy Warhol themed rooms feature interesting shapes and dramatic pops of colour. Specially commissioned artwork by Olivier Henry of the Singapore skyline and Thai artist Pariwat has been sourced to make the rooms standout. Decked out to resemble a swanky New York penthouse, the oversized bed takes centre stage, with a fabulous circular bathtub hidden behind a revolving screen.

Other designer furnishings in the Coco Chanel and Andy Warhol themed rooms include Apple TVs, toiletries by Malin + Goetz, high-speed WiFi and Apple’s AirPlay Mirroring.

The luxury hotel’s Coco Chanel and Andy Warhol inspired rooms are fun, stylish and ideal if you’re looking for a special experience in the heart of Singapore.

Amazing Portraits Recreated With Recycled Materials

Jane Perkins is a UK artist who uses found objects and recycled materials to create something new. She recreates famous artworks and portraits using found objects in an ongoing series called Plastic Classics.

Perkins gets most of her materials from charity shops, boot sales and the recycling centre in Exeter; along with donations from friends and neighbours. Each piece usually takes about three weeks and she initially uses a glue gun so she can play with the layout and move objects around. Once satisfied, she paints the whole artwork with a layer of diluted PVA glue.
