布鲁克林的艺术认识Brooklyn Bridge 1 Hotel 背后的艺术家们

​At 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge our design embraces local community, the history of our neighborhood, and our natural surroundings. In this series, we go behind-the-scenes with Brooklyn-based artists featured throughout the hotel, and their creations which bring our design ethos to life.

身兼雕塑家和装置艺术家的瑞秋-米卡-魏斯为Brooklyn Bridge 1 Hotel 创作了两件引人注目的作品，两件作品都汲取了布鲁克林的工业和航海传统。第一件作品 "Unbounded "在大堂迎接客人，6000 磅重的黑曜石经过精心捆绑，仿佛从客人身后的大楼梯上滚落下来。第二件艺术品 "Breaching "位于通风的活动空间，俯瞰Brooklyn Bridge 公园，用手工染色的纱线串在回收的松木横梁之间，与Brooklyn Bridge 和曾经停靠在东河沿岸的船只的线条相呼应。

In his expansive artwork installed above the hotel’s reception desk, Jarrod Beck explores the interaction between humans and nature. An expansive piece made of hundreds of delicately draped rubber strips, “All OVEREACHOTHER” actually consists of materials repurposed from the roof of a big-box retail store in upstate New York that was destroyed by a tornado in 2014. By putting this artwork in the nature-focused 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge, Beck challenges guests to consider both nature’s power and how we can better live with the natural world around us.

DanielleTrofe 设计公司的创始人 DanielleTrofe 可能是一位设计师，但同时也是一位科学家。她为Brooklyn Bridge 1 Hotel 的 100 多个灯罩和花盆不仅美观，而且非常可持续和自然，如果你想吃的话，你可以把它们吃掉（不过我们还是希望你不要吃）。Trofe 的作品实际上是用菌丝体（即蘑菇的根部结构）和玉米秆、种子壳等农业废弃物制成的，不过从它们时尚、现代的美感中你很难看出来。

Uhuru Design just might be Brooklyn’s coolest furniture design firm. Not only do they create beautiful, modern pieces with a Scandinavian-inspired aesthetic for some of the world’s top architects and museums (including the Smithsonian), but the firm’s philosophy is that everything they make “should add a greater good to the world.” For 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge, Uhuru created furniture for the common areas—from a sofa and tables for the lobby to banquettes for the restaurant—with reclaimed and natural materials, including wood from the old Domino Sugar Factory up the river.

如果你花时间游览布鲁克林，难免会看到一些Bien Hecho的作品。由约翰-兰德尔（John Randall）创建的这家布鲁克林木工工作室已有 10 年历史，从当地餐厅和咖啡馆的装饰，到公共花盆和长凳等街头艺术，它已成为布鲁克林美学不可或缺的一部分。在Brooklyn Bridge 1 Hotel ，兰德尔和他的团队使用了从布鲁克林植物园回收的飓风桑迪期间砍伐的树木再生木材，为餐厅、咖啡厅和大堂定制了桌子。

Where many artists and designers try to create works that adhere exactly to their vision, the glassblowing duo behind design company OffCentre embraces the unique shape of each of their creations. Acclaimed artists in their own right, Edison Zapata and Romina Gonzales instill each of their glass pieces—predominantly lighting and other functional glassware—with a sense of whimsy by circumventing traditional glassmaking processes. Their one-of-a-kind blown-glass bricks hang on the walls of 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge’s suites, filled with greenery to further guests’ connection to nature.

Speaking of greenery, we owe all those gorgeous plant moments throughout 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge—from the living wall in the lobby to the ferns and mosses by the beds—to Harrison Green. The Brooklyn landscape design firm is as dedicated to incorporating plants into urban spaces as we are, having created stunning roof gardens, lush terraces, and indoor horticultural spaces throughout New York City.

费尔南多-马斯特兰杰罗（Fernando Mastrangelo）介于雕塑家和家具设计师之间，但毫无疑问，他是布鲁克林最令人兴奋的当代艺术家之一。马斯特兰杰罗以不寻常的方式使用普通材料，用盐、咖啡、沙子、玻璃和水泥等材料制作出灵感来自大自然的雕塑品，可用作桌子、椅子、灯具等。今年夏天，您可以到Brooklyn Bridge 1 Hotel 10 楼的酒吧，在 Mastrangelo 定制的铸黑硅石桌子上小酌一杯。
