Luxury sometimes, warmth sometimes,

What is precious is time.

Who hasn't thought of traveling back in time? Ascott has launched the Time Traveler Art Theme Room, which gathers 8 global century old art home items and 6 French limited edition photography works in a huge space of 185 square meters. Allow travelers who love beautiful things to experience the century long cultural and artistic changes around the world in their rooms.

Here, the annotation of time is extremely subtle.

The so-called touching history and time is actually far away from those things that are separated from us. In those past stories, everyone's thoughts and insights are mixed, language is weak, emotions are vague, and only the works of the times left behind are physical entities - in this time traveling room, one can truly immerse oneself in them and touch them firsthand. In the Time Traveler's Room, each exhibit represents a classic artwork that meets every time, running through time from 1904 to 2021. In the stories of the exhibits, there is a surge of time.

A lamp, telling the history of architecture

How do physical objects in the room record time?

Just like this lamp.

The simple floor standing table lamp used in the room holds an incredible high status in the history of design: it is one of the four famous lamps in the history of lighting design, known as the fishing lamp. In 1962, the lighting company Arturo met with a group of brother designers, and the three of them hit it off. Rolex, known as the lighting industry, was established, and the fishing light was introduced.

The original design of this lamp was related to the architectural preservation history of Italy.

In the 1960s, Italy placed great emphasis on old buildings, and all homeowners were not allowed to drill holes in the ceiling for installation. Unfortunately, there were also many old houses back then, and people living in old houses hoped for lighting fixtures with high illumination and coverage over a larger area. This Arco Lamp, as a pendant light replacement, became popular throughout Italy.

The designer uses chamfered marble as the base and three arched flat tubes to form a parabolic lamp body suspension rod. Under the simple parabolic design, the stainless steel lampshade reflects bright and soft light. In 1960s Italy, it was placed on the side of sofas and a corner of dining tables by thousands of families, scattering a vast light that was no less impressive than chandeliers. Placing it directly in the study as an auxiliary light source will enhance the reading atmosphere.

To this day, Arco has been imitated and praised by brands and designers from all walks of life. Nowadays, Arco can be produced with the ability to change height, direction, and angle... but its overall shape remains the same, with a modern Italian style of the 1960s: it has both a simple modern design vocabulary and is unwilling to give up classical fine arcs.

The lamp in the Time Traveler Art Theme Room at the Chongqing Ascott Raffles City Service Apartment tells the story of the fusion of Italian classical and modern elements.

Remembering the moment of the wrong person in a hundred years,

A chair, hinting at the future

This chair, which is permanently collected by the Museum of Modern Art in New York, has a unique generational history in modern design. It is from this chair that B&B company is no longer satisfied with functionality and product design, but rather endows the product with soul and philosophy.

The UP series is B& B ITALIA (at that time it was still C& A series of leisure chairs designed by Gaetano Pesce, the chief designer of B ITALIA, in 1969. They have a unique anthropomorphic appearance, and the designer gave them a nickname "La Donna" (that woman), referring to the Swedish actress Anita Ekberx, who is known for her sexiness.

This chair was born during the second wave of the feminist movement, and the designer wanted to call for love and respect for women through its feminine appearance and the circular footstool on the side (implying the shackles that bind women), while expressing his advocacy for gender equality.

——The mood of most Americans is the same as ours now: I don't understand, but I am deeply shocked.

This chair is popular in the market not because of its recognition of ideology, but because of its beautiful and sexy appearance and good sitting experience. Gaetano Pesce's outstanding talent has made him one of the most unusual designers and artists in the history of home design. His works have appeared in over 30 important permanent collections around the world, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Pompidou Art Center in France, the Louvre Museum in France, and more.

To be honest, the experience of this household item alone is almost worth the ticket value.

Not to mention various home art pieces, many stories, without endless chatter, just silently filling the space.
