Art Sets Centurion Apart

Known for its smart airport lounges, American Express sought to evolve into a true private members club within urban locations. Art became a key element to the experience, helping attract clients away from traditional competitors.

A Salonniere's New York

Drawing inspiration from the New York, the salon celebrates the city’s vibrant art scene and its legacy as a dynamic hub of creativity and cultural exchange.

We imagined the spaces as a contemporary interpretation of a modern day salonnière’s home, a gathering place where art, culture, and conversation come together. The art collection features a mix of established and emerging artists, across different mediums, and styles, all rooted in New York as their point of origin and influence.

Bridging Urban to Oasis

Our challenge was to connect the new development to the original hotel built in1887 across the harbor, while navigating the atmospheric differences between the storied urban hotel and the new resort typologies. Hanabi: Art And Artists curated and provided all artwork in the public areas and guest villas, reinforcing the Raffles tradition of subtly linking past and present through art.

Connecting to Context

The unifying concept for art in this project was to extend the natural world into the built environment, blurring the lines between indoors and outdoors. The goal was to offer guests moments to pause, wonder, and reflect, much like nature itself. Through a range of artistic techniques and perspectives, we showcase nature’s diversity. Each piece presents a distinct interpretation of the serenity found in the natural world, from realistic depictions to abstract forms.

Escaping the Obvious

The Moxy brand is provocative, irreverent, and a bit reckless. Those who choose to stay downtown lean into California’s dark and stormy side rather than its sun and palm trees. We reimagined California through the eyes of a modern desert nomad setting out on their own adventure, discovering the unexpected during their stay

Art that Adds Dimension

Theart curation invites guests into a state of mind that encourages curiosity sense of adventure. Inspired in part by Easy Rider, the 1969 cult film that elevated counterculture and celebrated the great American road trip, the collection references biker culture, desert reptiles, and the gritty romance of the open road. Textile works, sculptures, and found objects such as motorcycle handlebars transformed into animal like creatures bring the art to life in three dimensions. The result is a world that champions bold choices and is inspired by the freedom of personal expression.

Bridging Sea to Sky

Our clients, the Aman Group and Mori Building Co., envisioned both a literal and figurative crown for the top of the Mori JP Tower, the tallest building in Japan. Perched at the peak, the residences remain connected to the vibrant village below—a community centered on connectivity, culture, and nature. Our focus turned to contemporary Japanese art as the foundation, engaging international artists whose broad perspectives and cultural understanding honor raw, natural forms, materials, and making techniques.

Into the Air

A diverse mix of calligraphy, sculpture, painting, and photography was used to tell a story and evoke emotion. As residents ascend from the ground level, they encounter a monumental boulder by Shinichi Sawada. Where does the mind wander when faced with the vastness of the natural world? This is the question the sculpture poses. An object typically associated with strength, weight, and grounded in the earth now magically appears to float, suspended high above the heart of Tokyo.
