*루머 호텔 [ Chemical Spaces ] The Rumor Hotel

트렌디한 디자인 경향이 객실내부를
가득메우고 있다.
강한 듯 하지만 조화로운 다양한 재료와
색의 조합은 객실에 거주하는 투숙객들에게
다양하고 색다른 공간감을 안겨준다.

지금과 같은 디자인 성격이 강한 공간을
보고 있으면서 문득 들은 생각인데,
참신하고 개성있는 신진디자이너들과
경영난에 힘들어하는 호텔이 만나
호텔은 공간을 제공하고 디자이너들은 그곳을 디자인하여
자신을 어필하는 프로젝트를
기획하여 진행하여도 좋을 것 같다.
상업공간의 최대 목적은
최대이익 창출 아닌가?
그것을 위해 우리 디자이너들은 적극적으로
팔리는 물건을 만들어야 하고....

Design consultant, founder, and president of Chemical Spaces, Mark Tracy, has established a reputation that precedes him – part in thanks to his eye-catching designs.  Based primarily out of Las Vegas, the Rumor Hotel owners made the call to designer after seeing what had been accomplished at the Hard Rock Hotel Las Vegas.

The vision was not always as clear as day, as the originally Tracy found his way to design via studying pharmaceuticals in college.  Once the painting of apartments and small art pieces started in 1988, there was no looking back.  Twenty years later, he has accumulated over 200 projects and numerous awards and recognitions including Best Designer at the 2008 HEIDI awards.

The owners of the Rumor Hotel only one word for what they wanted for their Fantastic Four suites, and that being – color!  “I wanted the rooms to provide a complete party atmosphere,” he says, also adding that his firm fabricated all the drapery, art, paint, and case goods for the project.  Beds are found in the living space, and the bathrooms boast 18-feet-long lounge benches and five-person showers.

For a little shock factor, the biggest eye-opener is the wide range of mysterious and seductive images, many of women. For instance, the black room is rich in sex appeal thanks to crisscrossing mirror strips and black-on-black tones with silver accents that are further enhanced by an image of a woman’s corseted torso in the bedroom and one of her pulling off her panties in the bathroom.
