Color Inspiration: Hi Hotel by Matali Crasset

Located on the sun-drenched French Riviera, the Hi Hotel in Nice is a living lab of color studies. Each room represents a unique concept...

• 1 Oversized pixels and furnishings inspired by computers decorate the "Digital" room.
• 2 In the "Techno" room, a projector screen can be viewed from the bed or the bath.
• 3 The green "Happy Day" room features a hidden pink alcove bed.
• 4 In the main lobby, chairs are designed with colorful, faceted cushions.
• 5 The "Monospace" room is color-coded into red, white, and blue functional areas.

French designer Matali Crasset created the interior concepts and infused the hotel with her signature style, which includes bright colors and an uncoventional aesthetic. For more information on the Hi Hotel, click here.

YIKES!!! Looks like a bad HGTV episode room. Perhaps someone went wild with their IPhone's handy level APP.

I love color, but I love cozy even more. If I am going to be in a hotel, I want to be comfortable and cozy while I'm in the room. These rooms are bold, bright, and boring. Next!

J'adore! J'adore! What very cool beds - so sharp they look like they have wood for mattresses! Love the way the monitors aren't just thrown in the rooms with the usual designer disrespect but actually incorporated into the designs in very cool ways (right now I'm trying to figure out a DIY version of that giant TV shadow box in the first room). And I want that pink vinyl Pee-Wee Herman chair right now.
