Andrée Putman Returns to Morgans Hotel, Bearing Chairs

Designer Andrée Putman recently returned to Morgans, the ur-boutique hotel she masterminded for Ian Schrager back in 1984, to lead a complete renovation of the property. Putman aimed to keep her original “home away from home” aesthetic while bringing the hotel into the 21st century. Enter the Putman-commissioned art installation on the lobby ceiling (the work of Trafik, the French design collective), lighter and brighter guest rooms (their minimalist purity intact, if slightly softened at the edges), a mess of technological upgrades, and 300 Putman-designed “Morgans” chairs in high-gloss white.
