Split-Personality Art Hotel Room is Half White, Half Graffiti

This schizophrenic space goes to show just how much contrast plays into our understanding of a place, balancing eye-busting graffiti with stark white, divided by an (in)visible line drawn right down the middle.

The room is located at the Au Vieux Panier hotel in Marseille, France, one of a series of artistically redesigned accommodations.

This particular work is known as ‘The Panic Room’ – and really, its binary extremes are a shock to the senses worthy of the title given it by its makers: Tilt (images by Big Addict).

Walls, mirrors, bed, ceiling, floor, nothing is sacred or set apart in this extreme interior design project.

Lagolinea sounds a little like LEGO, and while there is no overt resemblance, there is a modular, interactive and constructive method to the madness of this series from Lago that does recall those classic construction toys.

Familiar shapes like trees and figures take the place of wall art, and instead provide useful shelf space and a three-dimensional object with which to engage.

That is not to say that other more abstract arrangements are not possible, perhaps even some that would appeal to adults … but, on the flip side, one rather doubts that the wine shelf in a fancy restaurant would be made out of these.
