Philippe Starck is a design mastermind! From his popular
Louis and
Victoria Ghost Chairs to the cartoonishly-cute
Bubble Club Arm Chair, Starck keeps dazzling the design world with his creative and fabulous creations. A while back I saw this post on
Apartment Therapy (via
Design Therapy) about this Parisian hotel that Starck designed, called
Mama Shelter. Mama Shelter is located in The Bohemian District of Paris, and with rooms starting at 79 Euros (a little over $100), it's somewhat affordable! Here's a bit more about the location, straight from the
Design Therapy website:
"Located in the Saint Blaise quarter just across the street from Le Fleche d'Or, the quarter's legendary rock and electro club, this boutique hotel was created by the Trigano family (founders of Club Med) and French Philosopher Cyril Aouizerate. The exposed concrete walls, mirrored surfaces, dark mood lighting and graffiti covered ceilings perfectly compliment this out of the way, funky neighborhood that's often compared to New York's lower east side."
The rooms come with a wall-mounted 24 inch iMac, free WiFi,
Kiehl's cosmetics and other amentities. Oh...plus Starck's signature furniture! Check out these funky-cool Star Wars
sconces and the lighted headboard. I love the look of these rooms! Next time I can afford a little Parisian getaway, I'm definitely going to look into this hotel! Lights out until next time! -

Interesting lamps, how made is?
Thank you for your comment. Unfortuneately, I'm not sure how these lamps are made or if they are available for purchase. I found them to be very cool, so I decided to highlight them.
I believe I read somewhere that those oddball lights are simply garage torches (or whatever they're called - utility lights of some sort)... and then the masks are just hung over them.
Regardless, I find them creepy. Don't get me wrong, love Philippe, but...
Thank you Stroller Snob! That's very helpful. That totally makes sense.
Very cool. I also love the Flos Miss K Lamp on the desk. It's my favorite!
I better not show these to my fiance or he will make me buy them. :)
i am not a star wars fan, but I oddly love this. ha!

Dwellings & Dallas...I hear you there. I wouldn't consider myself a die hard Star Wars fan but these are super cute and I think original. I'm not sure where Starck found the masks but it seems like a relatively simple DIY project.
I would totally stay there, how cool!!
I know! And not too unreasonably priced. It's a bit out of the way but totally worth it!
These are kind of creepy but totally amazing at the same time.
what a cool place, Jamie! i love those lamps. im thinking of gettin out the trunk of halloween masks and rigging up some shop lights for added lighting around the abode. the kids will love it!
SUCH INSPIRATION! ;)
