The design of the entire floor is a work of Virgile and Stone Associates - a London based multi-disciplinary practice of interior designers, architects and graphic designers. The contemporary design is completed with Catellani & Smith light fixtures, Minotti furniture and Romanian inspired artworks.
A Romanian young artist, Daniel Stancu, provided the new Club Lounge with its three fine artworks called “The children’s fortress”.
A special attention was put into picking the decorations. A London lady artist, Jo de Pear, approached by Virgile and Stone, created an original work with a local authentic approach:
“The original work created specially for the InterContinental Bucharest reflect extensive research on Romanian Arts and Crafts and Jo de Pear has based her contemporary approach to prints on founded pieces of Romanian lace and other textiles material collected from craft museums and old antique markets. The concept has achieved a high level of originality and creativity by taking these traditional patterns but making them feel modern and in tune with the spirit of the hotel’s 21st Floor” says Carlos Virgile, from Virgile and Stone.
