revamped starck...........

here's a designer dilemma, do you re-do a 'starck-ified' space [as in phillipe starck]?

the royalton hotel got a new do by architecture firm roman and williams. they made the lobby super cozy. the rooms got new digs by [bottom near left] charlotte macaux perelman, of studio cmp [she did a stint with starck in london - the sanders]. read all about it here, i think the new look is worth it. it's good to change it up once and while. don't cha think? and it's nice to spread the design love around. could you imagine working with these groups?


stunning shot of the lobby, really.
