C'est ici Design Studio Redefined

 

C’est ici Design Studio 2.0 was designed to bring togetherness and connection. Our main inspiration was to design a unique space with thoughtful design that brings people together and translates a working space into an experience.

 

We draw inspiration from the timeless allure of C’est ici’s Design aesthetic and the cozy charm of feel like home with that elevated touch. Our goal was to create a space that harmoniously marries these two distinct styles, resulting in a design that evokes a sense of tranquility and sophistication. The essence of C’est ici’s design aesthetic is reflected in the bright and airy spaces that define our design. Light colors and abundant natural light form the backbone of this concept, creating an ambiance that feels refreshing and inviting. To introduce an intriguing contrast, we've carefully considered the implementation of our favorite brands and suppliers along with a concept design that is unique and timeless. 

 

Drawing inspiration from the opulence of high-end editorial design and the intimate charm of personal storytelling, our studio embodies the sophisticated blend of timeless aesthetics and innovative spaces. It is a creative hub designed to foster our interdisciplinary team’s innate desire for pushing boundaries—from Concept to Realization—and to serve as the foundation of our practice.

This concept merges the sophistication of upscale luxury living with the captivating power of storytelling. Drawing inspiration from the opulent world of high-end editorial design and the warmth of intimate narratives, this concept creates a unique space where luxury meets personal connection. It invites clients to embark on a journey where every design tells a compelling story, weaving together elements of refinement and human experience. Through meticulous attention to detail, this concept crafts spaces that not only exude opulence but also resonate deeply with the people who inhabit them. It offers a narrative-driven approach to luxury living, transforming spaces into havens of comfort, elegance, and lasting memories. 

 

 

 

 

Our vision for this space is to provide an elevated atmosphere that not only supports our award-winning designs but also creates an exquisite setting for clients, creatives, and industry professionals. We understand that both professional and creative services must meet the challenge of attracting and retaining top talent while offering a first-class welcoming client experience. Our new studio addresses this with a truly unique and harmonious space that ‘brings home back to the office with that elevated feel.’

For the architectural marvel of this month, we got inspired by the home country of our Creative Director and Founder, Monica. 

 

Featuring stunning views on the lakes and a stunning architecture, our pick of the month is the Luxé Hotel located in Guatapé, a beautiful village located in the east of Medellín in Colombia.

 

An unparalleled blend of elegance and natural beauty, the first luxury haven in the region. 

Surrounded by the breathtaking view of the Guatapé reservoir, the hotel redefines hospitality with a harmonious mix of comfort and scenic harmony.  

The hotel not only provides luxury accommodations but also offers intriguing insights into the surrounding lake.

In fact, there is the reservoir ‘Embalse El Peñol-Guatapé’, one of the largest lakes in the country, created by the construction of a hydroelectric dam that provides 30% of the electricity supply of Colombia. 

 

Officially ‘El Peñol’ is also known as ‘La Piedra’ (The Stone), because it is a 200 meters high rock towering over the surrounding lake. 

This has more than 600 steps, that are built into the side of this great geological wonder.

 

Oxblood, with its deep, rich red hue, embodies a fusion of warmth and sophistication in interior design and architecture. Its presence in a space evokes a sense of luxury and depth, drawing from its historical roots while seamlessly integrating into contemporary settings.

Oxblood has been a prominent color in fashion, design, and art for centuries. It’s often associated with luxury, sophistication, and a sense of the dramatic. The color has been particularly popular in autumn and winter collections due to its warm, earthy tones. Its deep hue provides a versatile alternative to black, adding depth and richness to outfits, interiors, and artworks.

 

In interior design, oxblood can be used to infuse a room with character and warmth. It pairs effortlessly with materials like brass, leather, and rich woods, enhancing their texture and bringing a cozy yet refined atmosphere. 

Whether as a feature wall, upholstery, or accessories, oxblood serves as a versatile and powerful color choice, making it an ideal choice for creating spaces that are both inviting and visually arresting.

Symbolically, oxblood is often associated with strength, power, and confidence. It carries a sense of groundedness and stability, while also evoking passion and intensity. The color’s deep, almost primal quality gives it a timeless appeal that transcends trends, making it a perennial favorite in various forms of expression.

 

Oxblood is a color that balances warmth and intensity, luxury and earthiness. Its rich, deep tones make it a versatile choice in fashion, design, and art, while its cultural and symbolic associations give it a powerful presence. 

Whether used as a statement piece or a subtle accent, oxblood is a color that exudes elegance and depth.

Translucent concrete is a striking and innovative material that merges the traditional robustness of concrete with a unique ability to transmit light. This innovative material is infused with optical fibers or translucent aggregates, allowing it to glow softly when illuminated.

 

 The beauty of translucent concrete lies in its capacity to create dramatic, ethereal effects, blending the solidity of concrete with a delicate play of light and shadow. Its ability to diffuse natural light into interior spaces creates a serene and inviting atmosphere, making it a popular choice for feature walls, partitions, and decorative elements.

In interior design, translucent concrete can transform a space by introducing a sense of lightness and fluidity. It can be used to craft stunning feature walls that cast intriguing patterns and textures, adding a layer of depth and sophistication to the room. When employed in flooring or ceiling panels, it imbues interiors with a soft, diffused glow that enhances the ambiance without overwhelming the space. 

The material's versatility extends to furniture and fixtures, where it offers both aesthetic appeal and functional lighting. By integrating translucent concrete, designers can create spaces that feel both contemporary and timeless, harmonizing natural light with architectural elements to achieve a visually captivating environment. 

There are also diverse benefits of translucent concrete in interior design such as:

 

Aesthetic Appeal: The primary allure of translucent concrete is its ability to combine the robustness of concrete with the ethereal quality of light transmission. This creates a visually captivating effect that adds depth, texture, and a futuristic feel to interiors.

\

Natural Light Utilization: Translucent concrete can help in harnessing natural light, reducing the need for artificial lighting during the day. This can lead to energy savings and contribute to more sustainable building practices.

 

Privacy and Openness: While the material allows light to pass through, it still maintains a level of opacity that ensures privacy. This makes it ideal for spaces where both light and privacy are desired.

 

Durability: Like traditional concrete, translucent concrete is strong, durable, and long-lasting. It can withstand heavy use, making it suitable for high-traffic areas and structural applications.

 

Overall, translucent concrete represents a fusion of innovation and aesthetics in interior design, offering new possibilities for how light and space interact. Its unique properties make it an exciting choice for architects and designers looking to push the boundaries of traditional materials. 

Whether used in walls, floors, furniture, or lighting, translucent concrete brings a modern, almost magical quality to interiors, transforming them into spaces of both beauty and function.
