Laila Gohar Creates Holiday Pop-Up at Paris Hotel
Artist Laila Gohar unveiled a festive installation inside the Hotel Prince de Galles lobby on Avenue George V in Paris for the holidays.
Vintage Apothecary Display Opens
The lobby features a pop-up fashioned to look like a vintage apothecary counter with dark wooden walls and numbered drawers. Glass casings on both sides hold Christmas trees made from light-blue fabric and white ribbons surrounded by metallic ant figurines. An attendant stands in front wearing a dark green uniform and cap while visitors view the whimsical display.
Global Hotel Collaboration Details
This Parisian event is part of Gohar's ongoing collaboration with The Luxury Collection hotel group which owns the Prince de Galles property. Similar versions of this project appear in The Joseph in Nashville, Solaz in Los Cabos, and The Laurus in Singapore. Each advent calendar window offers a peek into a different hotel from Madrid to Kyoto and Dubai.
Chocolate Flavors Match Destinations
Each window at Casa Bosques displays a chocolate created by designer Rafael Prieto, which highlights flavors linked to particular cities. For example the chocolate for The Suiran in Kyoto contains black sesame and other flavors linked to Japan. Gohar tapped her artistic circle for the project while set designs were created by Alix Bortoli.
