According to the designer, this project is a dream of his, due to his love for space exploration. “It’s a dream project for a creator like me who is genuinely passionate about space exploration”.

It’s the ultimate dream trip, but there are some requirements to fulfill in order to go to the next frontier. The guest should be at least 21 years old when taking off into space, follow a preparation course lasting fifteen days and, finally, spending $ 55 million per person for 7 to 10 days of travel. For the trip, of course that you would be surrounded by luxury accommodation modules with five-star comfort.

Philipp Starck’s concept behind this amazing project sits on his vision to establish a nest, a comfortable and friendly egg, which would feature materials and colors stemmed from a fetal universe. In that way, you’re able to feel absolute comfort, along with the utmost luxury, provided by the prestigious designer that is Starck.

The walls are embroidered with hundreds of nano-Leds with changing colors as a continuation of the view on the universe through the large windows. Just as all the shades of lights and colors of day and night, the egg will also live to the mood and biorhythm of its osmotic inhabitant. We cannot wait to see Philippe Starck‘s first spacial hotel in action!
