Clémentine Pautrot, the winning designer, was chosen from a group of 10 international finalists in the Sofitel MyBed™ design competition: Adeline Pays, Andrew Stellitano, Aurelien Barbrey, Clementine Pautrot, Dan + Jamie, Fillipo Bombace, Geoffroy Gillant, Ian Aw, Pich Tripasai and Keiki Koide, and Siobhan Kelly.
First announced in early 2014, the competition centered around Sofitel MyBed™, Sofitel’s unique bedding concept.
Opened to designers, creatives and students from all over the world, the competition was to create inspiring interpretations of a Sofitel MyBed™ ‘Universe’ – the quest for the ultimate sleeping space.
The winner, Clémentine Pautrot, was chosen from a group of 10 finalists for her design Sleep Space, where sleep is a magical daily experience, and the sleeping area represents the gateway to unconsciousness – the link between reality and sleep.
Pautrot elaborated on the Sofitel MyBed™ sensorial experience by materializing the transition to the dream with an edge offering a material limit separating the bed from its environment, a stone path above a thick carpet that leads to the sleeping area, and a ladder as a headboard that allows hypothetical access to the sky.
The winning designer and finalists were awarded with a complimentary stay in any Sofitel hotel around the world.
Secondly, the winning Sofitel MyBed™ Universe design will be constructed and installed in the lobby of the Sofitel Munich Bayerpost in Germany, with the project and associated scenography photographed for a special section of Wallpaper* magazine in June 2014.
The design will be the centerpiece of a special event on April 4th 2014 in Germany at Sofitel Munich, attended by high profile representatives from Europe’s design and architectural community.
