KONG...





starck beauty... all done up in lucite and floor-to-ceiling graphics. KONG in Paris, France sits atop the LVMH building. I was there the last time I was in the City of Lights with clients....it's been open for awhile and definitely worth checking out if you're in Paris.

The stunning pop art colors and gorgeous graphics juxtaposed against lucite and massive ceilings overlooking Paris takes your breathe away. So does the chubby, little sumo boy who greets you as you leave the unisex loo. 

Sumo boy takes up the entire wall by the bathroom sink. Makes you jolt to a stop at first, then...smile. ;) Kinda what you want from design. Everyone has their own opinion about Starck but I fell in love with the interior design, ambiance, and lovely drinks at KONG. Food's not bad either...

  3. Yep! :) Sex and the City was filmed at KONG. They showcase it as a part of their "presse". Last I knew they were opened...
