The 1,200 sf Tribeca Grand Hotel Lounge, curated by Surface Magazine’s Richard Klein, tasked us with designing a space incorporating 18 top Spanish designers and manufacturers—including BD Barcelona, which represents original Dalí furniture.
Drawing inspiration from Dalí’s surrealist work (epitomized by "The Persistence of Memory") and his core theory of "softness" and "hardness," the lounge embraces a theme where time feels irrelevant, mirroring the artist’s melting watches.
This vision shaped a sultry, dark atmosphere with soft-shaped pieces: Dalí sofas forming intimate islands, two-person chairs, sofas with inserted lamps, face-adorned vases, and hollow low tables.
Luxurious patterned wallpapers, indirect voluptuous lighting, and metallic screens enhance the surreal vibe; the bar features dark plum leather, while the lounging area showcases Nani Maquina’s gorgeous patterns—creating a space Dalí would embrace.
