Pantone Hotel – are you daring & fiery or fresh & eager?
Some 45 years ago pantone first introduced its colour matching system for us designers and as a result it’s now a worldwide industry standard for graphics and print. In later years, the company started producing lifestyle products such as stationery, bikes and those gorgeous mugs no self-respecting design studio would be without.
The latest addition to its weighty portfolio is somewhat of a grander scale, as Brussels now plays resident to The Pantone Hotel. Yes, I know a hotel!
Created by Belgian architect Olivier Hannaert and interior designer Michel Penneman the hotel boasts seven floors and 59 rooms and suites in a variety of colours and hues. Guests are invited to choose rooms based on their mood – each of which have stunning facilities and enviable views of the city. In fact the rooms even come with their own range of Pantone toiletries, talk about deep branding!
In addition there are meeting rooms,a stylish roof terrace and a bar when you can even order colour matched cocktails, such as the Daiquiri Green 12-0435.
Oh well, just as long as they can ensure my croissant is a scrummy PMS 144 and not a 447!
