Unexpected color combinations we’re stealing from this funky new hotel. The Wayfinder is a refreshing take on coastal New England style.

For drinks, this winter’s hot spot for après-ski is the retro-cool bar at the Wildwood, an old, down-at-the-heels ski lodge that’s just been vividly and whimsically rejuvenated with a 1960s vibe by the New York design firm Reunion.

Now filled with art by the Mardens and friends such as Francesco Clemente, the 10-room Hotel Tivoli has been transformed by a redesign including pops of color and sensuous slabs of marble..Much of the vintage furniture filling the hotel was sourced there by the Mardens, who collaborated with new design firm Reunion Goods & Services on the renovation. It turned out to be a match made in decorating heaven.

Reunion Goods & Services was in charge of outfitting the café this year, and we loved this pentagonal seating situation for hanging out and heavily Instagramming.

Humor is ever present in the studio’s hospitality projects. That delicate balance of orthodox and unorthodox is part of Reunion’s modus operandi. Reunion’s repertoire yields both goods and services, and the designers will tackle almost anything from creative direction, naming, and branding to custom furniture and wallpaper.
