-Designer, Leah Hughes,

-keeps me company during the series.

0:00:190:00:24

-In this programme...

0:00:240:00:26

-..Christophe Pillet's masterpiece

-in Paris.

0:00:260:00:29

-The colourful Fronlas hotel

-in Llandeilo.

0:00:300:00:33

-In South Africa, a hotel which

-blends nature and design perfectly.

0:00:340:00:38

-Offering Zen by the Seine...

0:00:520:00:54

-..Christophe Pillet

-went from designing furniture...

0:00:540:00:58

-..to designing Hotel Sezz, a gem

-in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower.

0:00:590:01:04

-Hotel Sezz is a French joke.

0:01:130:01:15

-This is in the 16th Arrondissement,

-or the 16th area of Paris...

0:01:150:01:20

-..so seize became Sezz.

0:01:200:01:22

-There is no lobby here...

0:01:220:01:24

-..so they've dispensed with

-that air of formality.

0:01:240:01:28

-Someone greets you at the door

-to welcome you into the hotel.

0:01:280:01:32

-That barrier between you

-and your room has disappeared.

0:01:330:01:37

-The public areas in this hotel

-are situated here around the lift.

0:01:380:01:43

-You come to this area

-to read newspapers and magazines.

0:01:440:01:48

-This is the bar where people

-eat their breakfast in the morning.

0:01:490:01:53

-It's a multi-purpose space.

0:01:540:01:55

-The building's shape is reflected in

-the club chairs around the tables.

0:01:560:02:01

-There's champagne

-chilling in the fridge.

0:02:010:02:04

-This is an area which can be

-made private, using these doors.

0:02:060:02:11

-It could be a conference room.

0:02:120:02:14

-The furniture is different again,

-but the design is cohesive.

0:02:150:02:19

-What do you think of it?

0:02:420:02:44

-What do you think of it?

-

-It isn't what I expected it to be.

0:02:440:02:46

-It looks traditional

-from the outside.

0:02:470:02:50

-It looks like

-a typical Parisian hotel.

0:02:520:02:55

-It's very chic inside.

0:02:560:02:57

-It's certainly very sleek.

0:02:570:02:59

-The interior certainly

-contrasts starkly with the exterior.

0:03:000:03:04

-The colours and the style...

0:03:040:03:07

-..express Christophe Pillet's

-vision of Paris today.

0:03:080:03:11

-He has used a grey palette.

0:03:120:03:14

-There are different shades

-of grey here...

0:03:140:03:18

-..with flashes of red and green

-to represent the energy of Paris.

0:03:180:03:22

-I had no idea he designed

-all these pieces of furniture.

0:03:220:03:26

-Yes, he not only

-designed the interior...

0:03:270:03:30

-..he also created the furniture

-and everything else here.

0:03:300:03:34

-He designed

-this wonderful chandelier...

0:03:350:03:38

-..which follows a static,

-horizontal design.

0:03:380:03:42

-It's interesting to see how

-he has divided the space into areas.

0:03:420:03:46

-In the back room, you can see the

-same furniture and the same shape.

0:03:470:03:52

-There are also

-two oversized pods in there.

0:03:520:03:55

-There's two of everything, and

-it gives the design a homely feel.

0:03:560:04:01

-Is the symmetry a masculine thing?

0:04:010:04:03

-Is the symmetry a masculine thing?

-

-Men certainly can't multitask!

0:04:030:04:06

-We're in one of the best rooms

-in the hotel, on the seventh floor.

0:04:170:04:22

-We're in the roof, as it were...

0:04:220:04:24

-..which explains

-the architectural features here.

0:04:250:04:29

-The striking thing about it is the

-way the bed almost seems to float.

0:04:300:04:35

-There's a desk and a phone there.

0:04:370:04:39

-Behind me is a stone wall which

-is set out in overlying strata.

0:04:400:04:46

-You can see some

-fossilized creatures here and there.

0:04:470:04:50

-It stands alongside

-this subtle, clean, modern design.

0:04:510:04:56

-The result is striking.

0:04:570:04:58

-Over here, in the utility area,

-you have a bath.

0:04:590:05:03

-It's a bath for two,

-with a cushion at either end.

0:05:030:05:07

-It must take

-most of the river Seine to fill it!

0:05:080:05:11

-You've done everything else together

-whilst you've been here.

0:05:120:05:16

-What better way to end the day

-than here, sipping champagne...

0:05:160:05:21

-..looking at the Eiffel Tower?

0:05:210:05:23

-What inspired this design?

0:05:390:05:41

-It's a very masculine design.

0:05:410:05:44

-It looks like a bachelor pad.

0:05:440:05:46

-The curtains

-are made of a pinstripe fabric...

0:05:470:05:50

-..and everything is quite dark.

0:05:510:05:53

-There are many colours

-from the same palette here.

0:05:540:05:57

-We must talk about the most

-amazing feature of this room.

0:05:580:06:02

-The exhibition area!

0:06:030:06:04

-The glass wall separates the two

-areas to create a unique feature.

0:06:040:06:09

-I'd be happy to lie on the bed,

-watching someone else bathe!

0:06:100:06:14

-It's fine, as long as

-you're with the right person.

0:06:150:06:19

-I think this is beautiful

-in its own right.

0:06:190:06:22

-The marble and the walls

-are wonderful.

0:06:220:06:25

-But I struggle with

-the designer's determination...

0:06:260:06:29

-..to force guests

-to exhibit themselves.

0:06:300:06:33

-I have a problem with that.

0:06:330:06:35

-If you had a modesty curtain here,

-it wouldn't be so bad.

0:06:350:06:39

-There's no escape!

0:06:390:06:41

-The beauty of Hotel Sezz is that

-Christophe Pillet designed it all.

0:06:560:07:02

-He created the furniture, the

-interior design and the products.

0:07:020:07:06

-It's testimony to the fact designers

-can tackle every aspect of design.

0:07:070:07:12

-Yes, he's created a design

-full of hard surfaces...

0:07:130:07:16

-..but it's also

-cosy and comfortable.

0:07:160:07:19

-Yes.

0:07:190:07:20

-We're outside

-Fronlas hotel in Llandeilo.

0:08:000:08:03

-It's a solid, Edwardian house

-in an ordinary street.

0:08:030:08:08

-But there are nods to

-the interior style out here.

0:08:080:08:11

-Its colour is unusual.

0:08:110:08:13

-The plant pots have been precisely

-placed on either side of the steps.

0:08:130:08:18

-The sign is very distinctive.

0:08:180:08:20

-Something about its style

-and about the lettering...

0:08:220:08:26

-..tells us it's going to be

-unusual inside.

0:08:270:08:30

-What am I doing

-in a bed & breakfast in Llandeilo?

0:08:410:08:45

-Quite simply, size isn't everything.

0:08:460:08:49

-It's quality that counts.

0:08:490:08:51

-This is the sight which greets you

-when you enter the building.

0:08:550:08:59

-It's simply furnished.

0:09:000:09:01

-Subtle colours are used here.

0:09:020:09:04

-The pictures on the walls

-are of the local area.

0:09:050:09:08

-The lights stand out

-against this cool canvas.

0:09:090:09:12

-This multifunction room

-is a dusty moss colour.

0:09:200:09:25

-It goes brilliantly

-with the black and grey furniture.

0:09:260:09:30

-You can sit and read here...

0:09:300:09:32

-..or choose a DVD.

0:09:330:09:34

-You could even have a drink...

0:09:350:09:37

-..before you head out

-to sample the delights of Llandeilo.

0:09:370:09:41

-It's very tasteful.

0:09:570:09:59

-Yes, and it's dressed

-quite sparsely.

0:09:590:10:02

-Your attention is drawn to

-the fine furniture...

0:10:020:10:05

-..and the strong, horizontal shapes.

0:10:060:10:09

-The dark colours emphasize this.

0:10:090:10:12

-It's easy to forget there are

-some original features here.

0:10:120:10:16

-Yes, and they work really well

-with the contemporary furniture...

0:10:160:10:21

-..and this fantastic,

-modern lighting.

0:10:230:10:26

-They've respected and restored

-the skirting boards...

0:10:270:10:31

-..the cornice

-and the four-panel doors.

0:10:320:10:36

-It sets the standard

-in this old townhouse.

0:10:370:10:40

-There are no personal photographs

-on the walls.

0:10:410:10:44

-No, the personal elements

-have been stripped away...

0:10:440:10:49

-..so you know it's a business.

0:10:490:10:51

-The graphics on the doors

-reminds you this is contemporary.

0:10:520:10:56

-This is a very fashionable boutique.

0:10:560:11:00

-The furniture is very interesting.

0:11:010:11:03

-Yes, it's very modern and yet,

-it has a retro appearance.

0:11:040:11:08

-There are Kartell lights

-in the hallway and in here.

0:11:110:11:14

-This is a Tom Dixon lamp,

-which looks like a 1960s piece.

0:11:140:11:18

-The orange is fantastic

-when it's switched on.

0:11:180:11:23

-It works well with the black

-and the ebony furniture.

0:11:230:11:27

-I wonder what on earth

-you like about this room, Leah!

0:11:550:11:59

-The colour is stunning!

0:11:590:12:01

-It goes fantastically well

-with the mushroom brown colour.

0:12:010:12:06

-It's an intense colour.

0:12:060:12:08

-It's captivating.

0:12:080:12:09

-I'm glad you're sitting there.

0:12:100:12:12

-If you were standing by the bed,

-I wouldn't see you!

0:12:120:12:15

-There's a kaleidoscope of pattern

-on the wall.

0:12:170:12:21

-There are flowers...

0:12:210:12:22

-..and circles, which are replicated

-in the light and in the mirror.

0:12:230:12:27

-I love the fact you can see

-through it and it's totally unique.

0:12:280:12:32

-Yes, it was individually designed

-by Colliss & Quinton.

0:12:330:12:37

-They create murals,

-rather than wallpaper.

0:12:380:12:41

-What came first?

-The wallpaper or the light?

0:12:420:12:45

-The unity between colour and pattern

-makes it a successful design.

0:12:450:12:50

-As you've already noticed,

-each room has its own colours.

0:13:100:13:14

-This is room number three and its

-colours are greens and pale brown.

0:13:140:13:20

-If it were simply that,

-it would be pleasant enough...

0:13:210:13:25

-..but this is the

-cherry on the icing on the cake.

0:13:250:13:29

-This is the cat's pyjamas.

0:13:290:13:31

-The design

-created especially for this space.

0:13:320:13:35

-It's totally unique.

0:13:350:13:37

-These details

-make this a successful design...

0:13:380:13:42

-..such as the use of the wallpaper

-to line the lampshade.

0:13:420:13:46

-That makes this design as effective

-at night as it is in daylight.

0:13:460:13:51

0:14:560:14:58

-Next, we go on safari

-to The Outpost hotel.

0:15:020:15:06

-This hotel is in a remote part

-of Kruger National Park...

0:15:070:15:11

-..in South Africa.

0:15:110:15:13

-At first glance, this hotel

-doesn't seem too promising.

0:15:210:15:25

-There's a grey, corrugated roof

-along the top.

0:15:260:15:30

-There's a hint of sophistication

-in the way this wall was cut.

0:15:310:15:35

-It was built by skilled workers.

0:15:360:15:38

-It contrasts well with the

-brick wall with the concrete screed.

0:15:380:15:43

-The two walls form a funnel

-which sucks us in, like a hoover!

0:15:440:15:49

-It promises better things.

0:15:500:15:52

-Well!

0:16:050:16:07

-When someone mentions a safari

-lodge, you don't expect to see this!

0:16:070:16:12

-I expected a straw roof

-and some poles!

0:16:120:16:14

-There's a level of sophistication

-and design expertise....

0:16:160:16:21

-..you'd struggle to find in a city,

-let alone out here!

0:16:210:16:25

-The contrast between this

-contemporary, subtle design...

0:16:250:16:29

-..and the nature which surrounds it

-is truly awe-inspiring.

0:16:290:16:34

-It's incredible.

0:16:340:16:36

-We're in a national park...

0:16:570:16:59

-..so there must be strict

-building restrictions in place.

0:17:000:17:04

-Yes, and those restrictions

-shaped the design.

0:17:040:17:07

-We're high above the ground,

-minimizing the impact on the land.

0:17:080:17:12

-This also creates these open spaces.

0:17:130:17:15

-It's effective and unique.

0:17:150:17:17

-The bedrooms, or the living spaces

-as they're called...

0:17:180:17:22

-..are dotted around the hills.

0:17:220:17:25

-Yes, and the path from here to

-the living spaces is raised high...

0:17:250:17:29

-..and it's built around the trees.

0:17:300:17:32

-This is an unusual

-and effective touch.

0:17:320:17:35

-What about the colours in here?

0:17:360:17:38

-What about the colours in here?

-

-Some are traditional.

0:17:380:17:40

-You expect to see canary yellow

-and terracotta in South Africa.

0:17:400:17:45

-These tables are wonderful.

0:17:450:17:47

-Yes, those fantastic table legs

-look like tusks.

0:17:480:17:52

-Yes, they're quite novel.

0:17:530:17:55

-They look like elephants

-who are about to walk away!

0:17:550:17:59

-Other than the poles,

-the thing which defines this area...

0:18:140:18:18

-..is the way

-the furniture is set out.

0:18:180:18:21

-There are three walls here,

-in essence.

0:18:210:18:24

-One there, and this one,

-where the fireplace stands.

0:18:240:18:28

-The bookcase forms another wall,

-though you can see through it.

0:18:290:18:34

-It feels like a drawing room, where

-you'd sit by the fire after a meal.

0:18:340:18:39

-These vases have been set out

-in a very artistic fashion.

0:18:390:18:43

-The furniture has similar markings

-to those which you see on the floor.

0:18:430:18:48

-This is a huge space...

0:18:500:18:51

-..but this area feels like

-a cosy nest.

0:18:520:18:55

-There's a blend of irony

-and history in this area.

0:19:170:19:20

-These square pouffes are covered

-in the skins of Nguni cattle...

0:19:220:19:26

-..the local breed of cattle.

0:19:270:19:29

-Down the centre,

-there are low benches...

0:19:300:19:33

-..on which sit a lion and a lioness.

0:19:330:19:36

-There are

-snake and buffalo carvings, too.

0:19:380:19:41

-These are the animals

-you'll see here.

0:19:410:19:44

-Unlike other hotels, where the rooms

-are all bunched together...

0:20:090:20:14

-..these are dotted along the hill.

0:20:150:20:17

-This is the same polished concrete

-flooring used in the main building.

0:20:180:20:23

-There's a tusk-legged table here -

-the chairs and stools are the same.

0:20:250:20:30

-There's unity in the design.

0:20:300:20:32

-Over here, to the right,

-there's a big sofa.

0:20:330:20:37

-You sit here to enjoy the view.

0:20:370:20:39

-That in itself

-would have been enough...

0:20:390:20:42

-..but where is this view?

0:20:420:20:44

-Well, if you want to see it,

-you must press this button.

0:20:440:20:48

-The most amazing thing and possibly

-the whackiest idea I've ever seen...

0:20:480:20:53

-..is that this room

-has only one wall.

0:20:530:20:56

-There are no windows here, either.

0:20:560:20:58

-All you have

-are these canvas screens.

0:20:590:21:02

-They lift to leave you

-at one with Africa, on a balcony.

0:21:030:21:07

-There's Africa, in all its glory.

0:21:070:21:10

-This is the biggest luxury.

0:21:100:21:12

-You can stay in this simple,

-minimalist living space...

0:21:130:21:17

-..and be this close to nature

-at the same time.

0:21:170:21:20

-The rooms are similar in appearance

-to the main building.

0:21:420:21:47

-Yes, design of the living spaces and

-the main building is very honest.

0:21:480:21:54

-The structure is clearly visible.

0:21:540:21:57

-You can see the concrete

-and these posts.

0:21:570:22:00

-It's very honest.

0:22:000:22:01

-Its construction is there

-for you to see.

0:22:020:22:04

-There's a lot of this!

0:22:050:22:06

-There are horizontal

-and vertical lines.

0:22:070:22:10

-It's geometric,

-which contrasts with nature.

0:22:110:22:15

-If you ignore the luxury,

-it's quite an industrial structure.

0:22:150:22:20

-Yes, it certainly hasn't been

-over-designed.

0:22:200:22:23

-Even the blue of the sofa

-is a natural colour.

0:22:240:22:28

-It blends into its surroundings,

-which then leads your eye outside.

0:22:280:22:33

-I've already

-ran out of superlatives...
