NOT A HOTEL x NIGO
Japanese hospitality newcomer NOT A HOTEL has collaborated with the prolific fashion icon NIGO to creative direct their highly anticipated exclusive property, perched on a cliff overlooking the Tokyo Bay with direct views of Mount Fuji on a clear day.
Under the creative direction of NIGO, NOT A HOTEL TOKYO brings an ethereal cliffside getaway from the Tokyo Bay. The ‘hote'l’ is located off the coast of Futtsu, Chiba, only a short 45 minutes drive from Haneda Airport and approximately a one hour journey from downtown Tokyo.
NOT A HOTEL TOKYO will be the first residence that is located in a more metropolitan area, their other properties reside in the snow fields of Rutsutsu, Hokkaido, Ishigaki designed by Sou Fujimoto, and at Setouchi in Hiroshima designed by non other than Danish architect Bjarke Ingels.
NIGO was appointed as Creative Directory to curated the entire NOT A HOTEL TOKYO experience, as well as the overall concept down to the smallest of details.
As a fan of NIGO, his influence on this project is paramount, This combination of art and architecture creates a living space and communal space that is, luxurious inspiring and comfortable.
The integration of NIGO’s extensive art collection within the residence adds a unique cultural dimension to the stay. Each room is thoughtfully decorated with artworks that reflect NIGO’s eclectic taste and artistic sensibilities. From vintage Jean Prouvé porthole doors to Prouvé dining chairs and Pierre Jeanneret Chandigarh furniture pieces fill the space. With a dining room that seats 12, including a full kitchen equipped and a prep area perfect for hosting friends and family; because this ‘hotel’ is rather a vacation home for enjoying with your closest companions.
Those of you who are familiar with “Human Made” by NIGO will immediately notice a giant inflatable duck; the signature brand motif floating inside the indoor swimming pool. Contrasting with the playful duck is a giant KAWS statue on the roof looking out to the bay area.
Speaking of amenities, The ‘hotel’ features multiple bedrooms, sleeping pods (modelled off NIGOs own design), a sauna, gym, wooden Japanese bath, traditional tea ceremony room and music room which features speakers from Kaws and NIGO’s good friend Devon Turnbull’s HiFi brand OJAS. The assignment is a true collaborative effort.
