New Hotel, Athens





New Hotel was designed by Brazilian designers Humberto and Fernando Campana. I think I've mentioned them when I came back from Milan in April. They are the amazing talent behind EDRA Designs (some of them). These armchairs - "Leather Works", were designed by them.


"Favela" armchair was also designed by the Campana Brothers for EDRA.



I really like the idea with photos on the wall.



Love the design of this freestanding washbasin. It would though look so much better with a different type of flooring.


"Walls in the reception and restaurant are covered in a jumble of wooden scraps like those used for the designer’s famous Favela Chairs, which can be found in some of the bedrooms."

These are some pictures I took back in April at Salone del mobile, also from EDRA Collection:


"Scrigno" by the Campana brothers


"Cabana"  by the Campana brothers


"Grinza" chair by the Campana brothers


"Alice"  by Jacopo Foggini

Aren't the Campana Brothers just amazing?!  Such an inspiration for any designer.

The New Hotel came out very unusual and unique, as all of their designs. I hope one day to achieve what they have.
