Hotel Fox

Imagine this: Volkswagen plans to reveal its new Volkswagen Fox in the spring of 2005 in Copenhagen. Rather than let the auto-industry journalists that would be covering the event stay in your everyday, run-of-the-mill hotel room, Volkswagen creates Hotel Fox. After taking over the Parks Hotel in downtown Copenhagen, Volkswagen brought in 21 designers, illustrator, and urban artists to completely makeover the joint, in turn, giving birth to Hotel Fox. Needless to say, each room is a unique piece of art, worthy of a gallery space… but one that allows you the freedom of walking around in your underwear…

(Thanks again Aaron!)

    You cannot deny the raw awesome on display with Joel Trussell’s Flash animated, Viking-imbued music video for Jason Forrest’s War Photographer. Set the speakers to Spinal Tap for maximum…

    I wonder if this is a nod towards the Hotel Des Arts in San Francisco.

    Very nice. Brings back fond memories of the really wonderfull graphics and art I saw as a child in Germany. I have to ask why it is that large clients (in the U.S. at least) seem to understand the importance and value of beauty in illustration and design, but smaller clients cut corners to a circle avoiding the use of any art, let alone being creative. In any event, I want a Fox already.

    I’ve seen this coverage on Interior Design magazine. They have few pictures on the hotel’s rooms. They are all awesome!

    and during Singapore Design Festival Nov 2005, The Gallery hotel in Singapore was doing something like this too, but it was for a competition among designers to decorate the hotel’s rooms.
