Boutique Design 2010 №03-04

New York: Boutique Media Groupl, 2010. — 52 p.Boutique Design Magazine focuses on hospitality interior design, specifically new hotel, restaurant, spa and nightclub designs, and speaks to the interior designer of these spaces to find out how they created their design.In recent weeks, I’ve had the pleasure of overseeing the Boutique Design Awards program for a second time and attending the second annual Boutique Design New York interiors trade fair. In both instances, I was exhilarated and inspired by the creativity of the participants. I hope that holds true for you, as you take in our coverage of the same. First up, on page 8, is our review of the most recent BDNY, which was held in November in the Javits Center North. That show delivered on its promise of providing attendees with a carefully curated selection of new products, all offered up in small-scale displays that engendered one-to-one connections. Just as impressive are the winners in this year’s Boutique Design Awards. Our coverage of that competition kicks off with a profile of Designer of the Year Lauren Rottet (page 20), a true industry pioneer whose accolades include being the first woman to be elevated to Fellow by both the American Institute of Architects and the International Interior Design Association. Then, starting on page 24, we cover the 12 spectacular winning projects in the year’s competition, an all-star roster that includes the Dream Downtown, the Waldorf Astoria Shanghai, the Hard Rock Hotel Punta Cana and the Yotel New York.
