Projects

Designer furniture firm Point presents three of its latest hospitality projects in the United States and Canada. The furniture collections of this century-old company, which in 2019 won the Spanish National Design Award, can be seen in over 1,000 projects spread across five continents. A small island paradise off the coast of Miami Beach, the former winter estate of wealthy heir William K. Vanderbilt II is now home to an iconic club, hotel and luxury residences. In the Fisher Island Club, designed by interior designer Adriana Hoyos, are to be found the collections "Paralel", designed by Gabriel Teixidó, "Weave", created by Vicent Martínez, "City" by Christophe Pillet, the "Emmanuel" armchair, designed by Alfonso Gallego, and the "Round” table designed by Francesc Rifé. Also in Florida, this time in the heart of Miami's historic Coconut Grove, you can find New York studio ICRAVE’s design developed for The Key Club, an American-inspired restaurant where the key features are the "Hamp” armchairs and sofas, designed by Francesc Rifé. Further north, in Canada, the 1 Hotel Toronto was inspired by the city's varied natural environment. Seeking to capture the beauty of Lake Ontario and the contrasting colors of each season, this hotel has chosen to incorporate "Paralel" seats into its spaces to create a sustainable urban refuge. Point's story began more than 100 years ago with a master craftsman who was to become a benchmark in the world of craftsmanship. Four generations later, this family-owned company has transformed his legacy into an international brand, synonymous with the best of design, research and savoir faire. With close to 300 products created by great designers both national and international, today their design pieces are to be found in projects all over the world, everywhere from Australia to Mexico, including Dubai, London, Paris and Miami. Major international hotel firms such as Four Seasons, W, Shangri-La, The Langham and Hyatt Regency have included the company’s designer furniture on their premises.

We recommend you get to know some of the latest designs of the a-emotional light brand by visiting hotels and restaurants in the USA, Europe and the Maldives where they have been shining for a few months now. In the city of Atlanta, Georgia, is the hotel Hyatt Centric Buckhead, designed by interior design studio Sawyer & Company.  Inspired by the history and natural environment of this state, the American studio has selected for one of the hotel's lounge areas the CORAL collection, a hanging composition inspired by the beauty of coral reefs. And in another bordering state in the deep south of the US, in the city of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, the Kimberly Bryant Design Group studio selected the CAOS collection for the Capitan George seafood restaurant. Original and unassuming hanging lamps designed by Arturo Alvarez who finds his inspiration in the primordial state of the cosmos.Back in Europe, we visited the Yaya franchise, created by the Eleni group, which owns several cafés in several cities in France. At Yaya Secretan, the ONN luminaires shine in Paris. Made of painted stainless steel mesh and designed by Arturo Alvarez, the lamps in this handmade collection evoke the marine world. And at Yaya La Defénse in the city of Puteaux we discovered, in addition to ONN, the TEMPO VIVACE pendant luminaires, which represent two instants generated by the same movement with different tempo.And moving further south we discover the PortoBay Teatro hotel located in Porto, Portugal, whose interior design revolves around the Victorian era. The palette of gold and bronze tones gains prominence and the pendant lamp of the GEA collection, which is named after mother earth, is tinged with beige to shine in its rooms. And in the heart of the Mediterranean, the CORAL collection is on display in the rooms of the exclusive Splendid Mykonos Luxury Villas & Suites complex on the exotic Greek island of Mykonos.We finish our adventure in the Maafushivaru hotel of the Maldives. A facility surrounded by a natural paradise with lush vegetation and fine sandy beaches. The villas of this resort are designed in the purest Maldivian style and, with an organic, elegant, and natural presence. And the FLUO lamp, in various combinations, brings its light to the hotel's various common areas. This majestic piece that reproduces the illusion of a vaporous fabric shines at the entrance and highlights the beauty of the wood with its most natural look.

On December 14, 2021, the "Aile Est" (East Wing) of Geneva Airport (Switzerland) came into service. This renovation project represents a major improvement in terms of comfort and operational flexibility. The new facilities replace a space that was built for temporary use in the mid-1970s, and it was in need of change.This project has been possible thanks to the Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners (RSHP) architecture studio, who put their trust in Sellex to equip the waiting areas of the new facility. One of the company’s design icons, the AERO bench, was chosen, and the airport has installed two hundred and fifty AERO benches, including four- and eight-seaters, some with built-in side tables. All are self-supporting and upholstered in different colors with a visible stripe, to match the color scheme of each area and help travelers to find their way around.The AERO bench, designed by Lievore Altherr Molina, was identified by the team at RSHP as a product that met the quality standards required for the new facility. As Douglas Paul, Associate Partner in charge of the project says, the bench “fits comfortably with the structural concept of the Aile Est.”The renovated airport building is efficient, sustainable, and resilient. This has been achieved by installing seven thousand square meters of photovoltaic panels on the roof, one hundred and ten geothermal stacks for heating and cooling, an in-depth thermal performance analysis to eliminate cold bridges, energy efficient cool roofs, a LED lighting strategy with responsive control systems, and low water consumption using methods such as rainwater harvesting.Along with sustainability, durability was a determining factor in the project design. The materials used were selected in accordance with this criterion; all are low-maintenance and well able to withstand the constant flow of passengers. The finishes are granite, and transparent glass or back-painted panels have been used, depending on the area. You can see how the AERO bench is a perfect fit with the airport: seating that can withstand the test of time and is adapted to suit the different spaces. You'll find benches upholstered in blue, green, yellow, orange, red, gray, and purple.SELLEX is a furniture design company with 45 years of experience that has collaborated with designers such as Lievore Altherr Molina, Gemma Bernal, Mario Ruiz, Burkhard Vogtherr, and Carlos Tíscar, and has completed over a thousand installations in more than forty countries all around the world.  Photos Copyright Joás Souza: www.joasphotographer.com
