The global headquarters of Grey Group, one of the world's leading marketing communications companies, is in a landmark building in New York's renowned Flatiron district.

Authentic materials are used throughout from reclaimed wood to raw cork to the original restored red concrete flooring. Light floods the space thanks to the new 15-story glass curtain wall. Art installations in wood, neon and metal dot the building and add to the creative cachet. Modern furniture is used throughout from the likes of Hans Wegner, Flos, and Moooi.

Istanbul Suites

View image for Istanbul Suites

Istanbul Suites is a luxury hotel designed by Autoban, located in the Cihangir neighbourhood of Istanbul. Through the windows, you can view the entire historic quarter, including Topkapi Palace, Galata Tower and the big mosques in Sultanahmet. Keeping a modernist approach, the sandstone facade of the building was inspired by the imposing appearance of the Tophane-i Amire Building at the end of the street. The long windows and French balconies of Istanbul Suites reflect the architectural style of the Italian Hospital just opposite the hotel.

Each room was designed as one open plan space where you can eat, rest and sleep. Laser cut wood or iron create layered patterns, and combine with existing Autoban furniture. Some of the furniture has been adapted to the hotel concept. The bathroom walls are made of traditional Marmara marble which is the main material in the Ottoman architectural style. The whole ambiance provides a unique experience where the visitors can broaden their horizons and breathe Istanbul.

Autoban designs from the Autoban Built By De La Espada range found in Istanbul Suites include Box Sofa, Sleepy, Booklamp, Magnolia, Ring, Bergere Bed, King, Tulip, Scrub, and Woody.

Farina Focaccia and Cucina Italiana

View image for Farina Focaccia and Cucina Italiana

Farina, located in San Francisco's Mission District, offers natural, simple, homemade Ligurian cuisine made from quality organic ingredients in respect of seasons. The restaurant, designed by Brett Terpeluk and Monica Viarengo, reflects the ethos of the food through the use of robust, solid materials coupled with a keen attention to detail. The exposed joists, floor to ceiling subway tile, and lacquered wood paneling, all tinted with varying hues and gloss of creamy white, are offset by the grays of the concrete floor, blackened steel, and zinc counters. Free-standing linear counters are composed of reclaimed hand-hewn Genovese marble sinks, cut and re-assembled to form a sculptural presence. Double Octopus by Autoban illuminates the space, suspended above custom built communal tables made from solid Guanacaste wood. Windows of curved laminated glass wrap around the facade, allowing daylight to spill over the dining room during the day.

Aveleda

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.
