STAMBERG AFERIAT ARCHITECTS Stamberg Aferiat Architects were tasked with the reinvigoration of a tired Scottsdale hotel by developers the Sydell Group. The Saguaro takes its inspiration from the flora and fauna of the surrounding Arizona desert as well as the brightly coloured artworks of pop artists such as Victor Vasarely and Yaacov Agam.

202 CLAUS SENDLINGER


Design Hotels™ founder Claus Sendlinger has recently relocated his family from Berlin to Tulum on Mexico’s Riviera Maya, where he and his team have collaborated with Berlin-based creatives Kater Holzig and mamapapacola to create Papaya Playa – the world’s first pop-up resort project.


TILT French graffiti artist Tilt is one of several artists invited to design a room at Au Vieux Panier hotel in Marseilles. Half of the room is painted a pristine white, whilst the other half has been vibrantly decorated in Tilt’s signature style – a colourful riot of tags, drips, ‘throw- ups’ and ‘bubble’ style lettering.
