Phoenicia InterContinental Hotel coffee shop
Title
Phoenicia InterContinental Hotel coffee shop
Description
For the hotel’s coffee shop, which featured a two-story wall of glass windows that opened onto the Mediterranean, he used sheer panels overlaid with gold paisley patterns that echoed the lacey grillwork of the building’s architecture. Like Islamic screens, the panels both mediated direct sunlight and cast intricate shadow patterns on the interior.
Architecture by Edward Durell Stone and Joseph P. Salerno.
Interiors designed by Neal Prince.
Furniture designed by Mr. Prince and produced and supplied by Daou et Fils with local materials.
