HOTEL FOX

PLACEText: Ayako Yamamoto

Playful and romantic, “royal” was the theme of the room by Container, a design team of two artists from London who create illustrations with a unique atmosphere. They designed each room based on the four cards suits; spades, diamonds, clubs, and hearts. “To emphasize people’s special feelings when they stay in a hotel,” they said.


Luise

The room is cute and gorgeous with fur mats, furniture, and a wall painting of a king and a tiger. It is like a room in a story that every girl has ever wished for. Luise from Container who spent two months on the concept and three weeks making the room said, “We are so lucky to be able to take part in this project. We could make a lot of friends and I’m happy, but I feel sad at the same time because everyone got along so well while making the hotel together, and now after the opening, everyone has to go back and many strangers come in.” To a question of “what’s your plan next?” she answered cheerfully “Holiday!” With the production of music videos near at hand, Container is very active.


WK Interact

Another place of Project Fox, “Studio Fox” is one of a row of warehouses standing a 20 minute walk from Hotel Fox. Outside of the building, a Fox art-car by WK Interact was exhibited, and a wall on the right side was filled with a powerful spray drawing by Speto.


Studio Fox

Just then, Sam and Turry from FriendsWithYou based on Miami were decorating FOX. They were literally friendly, and their art-car had already no trace of original car form, with woods flames, fur cover, and pink colored inside. Though I wondered if it is right, they made me smile as a matter of course. It was unfortunate not to be able to see the completion and to introduce it here.

Same as the Club Fox, Studio Fox is being held for 21 days during the campaign.

Container, Boris Hoppek, MASA, Freaklub, and Akim Zasd Bus produce the art-cars.

Also, there is a shop selling artists’ goods, an introduction of Hotel Fox, a video with artists’ interviews and photos documenting the making, exhibited in the venue.

Hotel Fox has a projected life of five-years at this time. So, you should go while you can. Such a project, which artists and visitors can both enjoy, should be planned again all over the world.
