mondrian south beach hotel interior by marcel wanders

one of the main events at this year's art basel fair in miami was the grand opening of the
mondrian south beach hotel. the hotel's interior is designed by marcel wanders, and creates a sense
of space with large supporting spindle-like columns and ornately patterned staircases. the intention was to give
the new mondrian's interior a romantic, fairy tale feeling. part of the interior design includes delft blue tiles
with images depicting girls and sharks, chandelier showers and a small coach house entrance
which features six large bell chandeliers. the hotel's sunset lounge provides views over miami's
downtown skyline while golden candelabras and onyx jewel-cut stools are combined with ottomans
and antiques creating contrasting visual elements between the imagined and the forgotten.
