The 19th century neoclassic private mansion of the House of Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin located in Reims (France), has been entirely restored.

The Hotel du Marc has had a complete freshening up, from the façade which was severely damaged in the First World War, to the updated interior design.

The renovation work has involved many different talents, ranging from professionals who specialize in historic preservation to artists and renowned designers such as Mathieu Lehanneur, Pablo Reinoso, Fredrikson Stallard and the Campana Brothers.

Brazilian design duo the Campanas have unveiled their latest project, a boutique hotel in Athens.

Humberto and Fernando Campana, known for their Brazilian carnival-themed designs for everything from furniture to shoes, officially opened their first hotel earlier this month in the Greek capital.

The New Hotel, a 79-room property in the historical center of the Greek capital, is inspired by three traditional Greek themes — Karagiozis, a shadow puppet; the “evil eye” used to guard against ill-omen; and the Athens of years gone by.

For the fourth Holiday Collector’s Series by Lacoste, Brazilian designers Fernando and Humberto Campana have created a range of polo shirts for Lacoste.

The special edition is based on their famed Alligator Chair, which shows how the reptiles pile up in mud beds during the dry season in their natural habitat.

This is replicated by embroidering a cluster of eight crocodile logos onto a classic men’s and women’s white polo shirt.
