Set in the historic building of Alfandega do Porto, the Aveleda restaurant at The Oporto Show 2008 benefited from stunning original features including dramatically high ceilings and grand, oversized doors and windows allowing the Porto sun to spill across the space. Designer, Paulo Lobo created a contemporary dining room using natural materials to complement the wood and stone features present in the building. The backdrop for the space was formed from large wooden shipping pallets stacked and intersected to recall the contours of a cityscape. Upon the stone floor rested mirrored café tables, like reflective ponds upon which cutlery floated. Fifty Bergere chairs and eight Bergere Sofas by Autoban helped define the natural, contemporary aesthetic while providing relaxed seating for guests. Tulip lamps by Autoban punctuated the space, illuminating select areas of the sun soaked room.

La Reserve Ramatuelle is a hotel/spa located near Saint Tropez and overlooking the Mediterranean sea.

Stark white modernity is complemented by natural wood for an interior that feels expansive, calming and connected to the landscape. The Deer Chair by Autoban is featured in walnut and white leather, in perfect harmony with the surrounds.

W Vieques is located off the southeast coast of Puerto Rico and opened as the second W Retreat in the world. Created by Spanish-born Patricia Urquiola of Milan-based Studio Urquiola, W Vieques boasts 157 stylish guestrooms and suites with private patios and balconies offering views of soft sandy beaches and crystal clear waters. The design of W Vieques is as much inspired by the unique natural phenomena of the island as it is by the contemporary style of W Hotels. Throughout the property there was a meticulous attention to detail and craft, with a combination of locally recycled materials, organic forms, and Urquiola furnishings created exclusively for the project. The reception area is wrapped in reclaimed wood, serving as the portal to the W Living Room that features an oversized map of Vieques Island by Urquiola, Tiger Eye area rugs, plush Field sofas by Moroso, and Tulip lamp and Pumpkin side table by Autoban.

Autoban's redesign of The Marmara Şişli Hotel, a member of Turkey’s most prestigious hotel chain, began with the replacement of the existing façade. Custom-made aluminium pipes divide the façade into three sections, making the high-rise building an attractive feature of the cityscape. Spread over eleven floors with eight rooms per floor, the new Marmara Şişli offers three types of accommodation: Candy rooms, Capsule rooms and Wagon rooms. All bedrooms feature Autoban’s usual raw and contrasting materials, the ceilings bearing bold motifs on concrete. Taking cues from the Japanese-style capsule hotels, Autoban designed 6,5 m2 rooms for the mezzanine floor. These compact rooms are ideal for the lone traveler, and increase the hotel’s capacity to 104. To turn the lobby into a lively public area, an all-concrete bar is placed near the main entrance and the reception desk is unusually situated at a rather rear location. The overall result is 50’s modernist.
