Hospitality 3.0 “The creation of luxury”

For more than 20 years, the OBJEKT©International magazine has shown a filtered and varied picture of interiors, architecture, art and design. During the afternoon, a bird’s-eye view of the absolute high-lights is shown. This world of style and luxury is created largely by human hands. That’s why we’ll go beyond just looking at pictures, and instead present three guest presentations – on hotels, luxury yachts and exceptional outdoor spaces – which demonstrate more on the design and construction process in this field.

We start in Amsterdam, where 5-star hotels are popping up everywhere. In times of recession, this seems contradictory. What is going on here? And how does such an hotel get created? Then we set sail aboard a 50 foot yacht on which each component – including the interiors – has been custom designed and manufactured, down to the smallest details. Is this the ultimate in custom-made hospitality? Or will this become visible in the final proposal ‘Down to Earth’ in Rotterdam where we take you to the park to play outside, just like we used to do? The afternoon of October 10th offers both breadth and depth and an interesting look at Leisure & Hospitality and ‘the creation of luxury’.
