bespoke hotelは、各地域の特色や文化を踏まえ、その場所ならではの独自性を表現することをコンセプトにしています。bespoke hotel shinjukuにおいては、新宿や歌舞伎町ならではの「カオス」感を感じながらも、居心地のよいクリエイティブな体験ができます。フロント/キオスクでは、館内BGMにも携わったDJ KAWASAKIセレクトのレコードや、UNITED FLOWERSによるアーティフィシャルフラワー、堀口切子の切子硝子、国内外の様々な写真家によって撮影された東京や歌舞伎町の写真集などがディスプレイされ、客室常備のオリジナルタンブラーやトートバッグなど、オリジナルホテルグッズも販売されています。

「bespoke hotel shinjuku」に続き、関西1店舗目となる「bespoke hotel shinsaibashi」ではインテリアに合わせて、ブラック/ゴールドをキーカラーとしています。ブランドとして統一感を持たせながらも、「bespoke hotel shinjuku」より一回り細い書体やピクトグラムを使用することで、bespoke hotelのコンセプトである、その場所にあわせたデザインに仕上げています。また、京都を拠点にグローバルに活動するフォトグラファー八木夕菜による大阪の風景を独自の視点で切り取った写真作品や動画がロビー、レストラン、客室に設置し、旅の気持ちをより一層高めています。ロビーに併設のレストラン「bspk bar」(ビズポークバル)には、西麻布houseのシェフ谷祐二がセレクト・監修したクラフトビールやお酒にあう軽食やホットドッグなどが味わえます。

bespoke(あつらえる) という言葉の語源 は、”bespeak”あるいは”been spoken for”と言われており、職人と顧客が「対話」をしながら注文を受けていくことから、その様に呼ばれるようになったと言われています。その「対話」というキーワードから、「」(鉤括弧)をキーデザインとして、ロゴを始めとするすべてのグラフィックに展開。シンボルマークは bspk と簡略化して、若年層やグローバルマーケットに向けたファッショナブルなアプローチでブランディング行っています。さらに、エントランスには、メルボルン在住のアーティストが独自の視点で新宿を撮影した映像作品を展示し、客室には部屋ごとに異なるグラフィックが描かれており、その場所ならではのアートやグラフィック作品でも、ブランドコンセプトの「あつらえる」を表現しています。

We were in charge of branding, graphic design, and art curation for “bespoke hotels(Shinjuku & Shinsaibashi”, which opened its doors in 2018/2019 in Tokyo and Kyoto.

“bespoke hotel” embraces the things that make each city unique and distills the spirit and culture of the neighborhood through its carefully crafted space. “bespoke hotel Shinjuku” expresses the hustle and bustle of Shinjuku and Kabukicho while providing guests with a relaxing and creative experience. an eclectic collection of objects and art are displayed in the reception area; vinyl records selected by music curator DJ KAWASAKI, artificial flowers by UNITED FLOWERS, Kiriko glass by Horiguchi Kiriko, as well as photography of the neighborhood by local and international photographers. tumbler mugs, tote bags, and other original items used in the guest rooms are available for purchase at the reception as well.

following the opening of Shinjuku, tokyo’s “bespoke hotel Shinjuku” in December 2018, “bespoke hotel Shinsaibashi” marks the brand’s first foray into the Kansai market. in keeping with the brand concept of tailoring the design to each location, black and gold were chosen as key colors to compliment the interior design. thinner variants of the typography and pictograms are used in “bespoke hotel Shinjuku”; keeping aesthetic continuity across the brand while expressing the character of the hotel. vignettes of Osaka are captured in still images and videos by kyoto-based photographer Yuna Yagi. they can be found throughout the hotel—adorning the lobby and restaurant, as well on the curtains in each guest room—creating an immersive experience of the city. craft beer and light snacks curated by Yuji Tani, the head-chef from house Nishiazabu, can be enjoyed at the adjoining restaurant “bspk bar”.

it is said that the word “bespoke” is derived from the verb “bespeak” or the phrase “been spoken for”; where the craftsman and the customer would “speak” and have a dialogue on his or her specifications when making an order. inspired by the origin of the word, we used the Japanese-quotation mark as a key element in the logo and design. to further engage newer generations and the design-conscious market, “bespoke” is shortened as bspk in the logomark. welcoming guests at the entrance is a video installation by Melbourne-based artist that captures the streets of Shinjuku, while each of the guest rooms is uniquely tailored with bespoke typographic artwork on the walls.
