or us, the arrival of autumn and winter heralds the start of a wonderful season. It also marks the release of our second Book of the year on Contract & Hospitality, which covers the most influential events, business opportunities and ideas forums and has pride of place on the desk of the most important designers and stakeholders in the sector. Having been delighted with the international response to our Spring/Summer edition last March, we are now proud to unveil our second Book, jam-packed with even more exclusive contents, interviews and ideas. It’s a bottomless pit of inspiration thanks to the fantastic work done every day by dedicated industry pros. The second Book has a large section previewing the on-trend colours for 2017, which have been identified on the back of cross-sector analysis carried out by ColorWorks. You can enjoy a whopping 240 pages on the Fall/Winter collection, browsing an array of hospitality projects hailing from all over the world and covering virtually every style imaginable. This really is the best in class of the fivestar hospitality sector. We discover the key themes running through the 21st Century’s best hotel design projects, where clean lines, varied textures and natural finishes come together in some truly sumptuous architectural settings.
The recently opened Four Seasons in Abu Dhabi, for example, screams style sophistication, a quality encapsulated by the stunning outer façade which dominates the city skyline, its pattern drawing comparisons with the texture of fine fabric. Both the headquarters and the hotel itself are a triumph of simply, geometric architecture, with neutral tones complementing the limitless potential of natural light and transparent glass. The new EDP building is Lisbon is another majestic achievement, a visionary workplace straddling a line between art, architecture and design. The Mar Adentro resort, meanwhile, is architectural beauty in its purest form: the place exudes creativity, with several leading international brands collaborating to create complex, entirely custom-made solutions, a plethora of expertise combining to stunning effects. We also discover how the charm of in Stile interiors is fast becoming the only choice for historic palazzos, luxurious hotels such as the Paris Ritz and lovers of the classical traditions. In Monitor, we look at some of the latest creations, with a particular focus on international brands. After our Spring/Summer debut in Pink (Quartz), the Blue (Serenity) colour of this edition confirms the passion we put in exploring the evolving market, confirming the international significance of the IFDM brand as we approach our tenth anniversary.

A guide to color trends of 2017 Two stories already told and two others to be revealed. The talks with the color expert Judith van Vliet continue to discover the international avant-garde movements that will influence the trends in 2017.

e left you holding your breath. We interrupted the story halfway in the previous Contract & Hospitality Book of March, revealing only two of the four stories dedicated to Color Trends in 2017. Now the event continues with a fascinating journey through the global trends in the color universe for the coming year. Outstanding guide is once again Judith van Vliet, designer of ColorWorks Europe/ IMEA (BU of the Plastic&Coatings section of Clariant) and Vice President of Communications & PR of Color Marketing Group. She will introduce us to the variegated world of colors and the intriguing research and analysis method that leads to the coronation of the “colors of year.” We have already described how, every year, the five ColorWorks Centres of the world – São Paulo for Latin America, the Chicago centre for North America, Merate for Europe and IMEA, Taiwan and Singapore for Asia Pacific – define a color forecasting guide (ColorForward) at the end of a five-day workshop. This guide contains 20 color directions divided and identified starting with four macro-stories; that is, those underground movements, directions and paths emerging at the global level that influence society on many levels and in many spheres. In other words, every story speaks about a trend, and every trend is represented by five colors. Delonelination and Nebulove were the first social

In this way, colors symbolic of inner fragility (beige, blue, brown, orange and opaque pink) flank intense, encompassing tones like red, magenta, lilac, cognac and pistachio. The picture is completed with the two latest trends and the remaining 10 color directions.

Stefano Boeri
THE SUBTLE LINK BETWEEN ARCHITECTURE, SUSTAINABILITY AND BUSINESS A conversation with architect Stefano Boeri about design and communication. A whirlwind journey through the last 20 years of a world in which a picture is worth a thousand words
“C
an you use images to construct sentences, conversations and thoughts, taking the monopoly of knowledge away from words?� In April 2007, Esperanto, the latest edition of Domus directed by Stefano Boeri and consisting only of images, opened with this provocative question. It was the beginning of a revolution for the world of communication related, though not exclusively, to architecture and design. Architect Stefano Boeri has left an important mark in architecture and interiors with projects that have toured the world, projects with a distinctive personality, combining his profession with his cultural and personal commitment, giving concrete form to his thoughts and desires and harmonizing his own ideals with the market. IFDM met Stefano Boeri for a conversation about his current vision of architecture and interiors, about what is happening in a still very distant world (not only geographically) like China, with an inevitable discussion of Made in Italy. Starting from that April in 2007.

A sanctuary of high-end hospitality Sitting atop the Otemachi Tower, Aman Tokyo is a sophisticated metropolitan oasis which reinterprets the style rules of Japanese residential architecture
A
man Tokyo is the 27th hotel opened by the Singapore-based chain and the sixth designed by Australian company Kerry Hill Architects. And though it is the first Aman to open in an urban area, it refuses to compromise on the kind of panoramic views that have become so synonymous with the international hotel chain. Aman Tokyo occupies the top six floors of the Otemachi Tower, designed by American architectural studio KPF Kohn Pedersen Fox and completed recently in the Tokyo financial district. The 38-storey tower juts up from Tokyo Station, the central hub from which five underground lines snake out, near to the public Otemachi no mori park, and offers guests stunning views of the Imperial Palace and its gardens. Made from glass and aluminium, the shell of the structure allows for large internal spaces with incredibly high ceilings, while full-length glass windows allow the infinite shades of natural light to penetrate and create a backdrop of brilliant sky and urban buzz. The sense of height becomes almost dizzying in IFDM | 27
