How about a Visit to the Pantone Hotel?

The new Pantone Hotel in Brussels has definitely caught my eye.   I don’t know if the exuberant color schemes would promote a relaxing stay, but it certainly looks like a fun novelty.  I think this hotel would be a real hit if you were traveling with children and teens.

Each level of the Hotel’s seven floors offers a different color palette.  The palettes evoke certain moods and you choose your color scheme based on your frame of mind upon arrival.  You may choose from seven color schemes such as  “fresh and eager”, “daring and fiery” or “earthy-rich” depending on your state of mind.   I think I would go for “fresh and eager” after a long day of traveling.  How about you?

Karbon Faucets from Kohler

These Karbon faucets from the Kohler are like nothing I’ve ever seen before.  The style is industrial chic and the functionality really stands out.  The faucet is  designed with multiple, movable joints that allow you to position and lock water flow exactly where you need it.   The multifunction spray-head offers a gentle spray for grooming and a more forceful spray for cleaning.

The faucet comes in both a deck mount and wall mount options that will work for both under-mount and vessel style sinks.  The two finish options are chrome and brushed nickel and you have the option of a metal or black tube.

Don’t you think these are handsome?

The Kohler Karbon line is also available for the kitchen with even more finish options.

Z Tables from Hellman – Chang

Another item I fell in love with at the ICFF was the Z Table from Hellman – Chang.  The Brooklyn, New York duo Daniel Hellman and Eric Chang have won accolades and awards for their beautiful z tables.  The design comes in variations for dining, end tables and consoles.  The self taught duo specializes in contemporary design grounded by earthy materials.  I think the Z Table is a modern classic. What do you think?
