5 ways design can contribute to financial success
In a distinct departure from my previous wordy articles, I thought the best way to present this subject is to graphically show examples that truly demonstrate the power of dramatic, high quality design. Some real eye candy:
1) Design can add “the” point of difference
Armani Hotel, Dubai, Giorgio Armani Designer
Commune by the Great Wall (Kempinski), Beijing, Kengo Kuma and various designers
2) Design can make the venue a “destination”
Ku De Ta, Bali, unknown designer
Hakkasan Restaurant, London, Christian Liagre
Flying Fish, Sydney, Dreamtime Australia Design
3) Design can add “points of action”
Bar, One&Only Palmilla Resort, Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, Adam Tihany Design
Water Garden, Bvlgari Hotel, Bali, Antonio Citterio Design
Fireplace, Whitewater Restaurant, Sydney, Dreamtime Australia Design
4) Design can target markets
Sky Bar, Mondrian Hotel, Los Angeles, Philippe Starck
Grammercy Park Hotel, New York City, Julian Schnabel
5) Design can make or break your business
(just look at those average rates!)
North Island, Seychelles, Silvio Rech/Lesley Carstens
One&Only Royal Mirage, Dubai, WATG /Wilson Associates
Taj Rambagh Palace, Jaipur, Amit & Shalini Gehlot, ASA Design
Have a creative week!
