Off, a four-star, floating hotel, has dropped its anchor in the Seine. The boat, which can hold up to 350 people, is 80 meters long and 18 meters wide, with 54 rooms, 4 suites, a bar, a pool, and an 80 meter terrace. The hotel was designed in 2013 by Christophe Gallineau, director of Citysurfing, and Gerard Ronzatti, Architect and president of Seine design. The wood, stone, steel, copper, zinc leather and glass were selected with great care, and the structure is 100% Made in France.
Stylist and designer Maurizio Galante, and trendsetter Tal Lancman designed two of the suites, applying their own personal styles to the colour palate and furnishings. The Sunset suite evokes its name, with dominating reds and oranges. The Silver suite uses a selection of Parisian-inspired pearl grey tones, interrupted only by the lemon yellow fixtures in the bathroom. The bar has 8800 mirrored tiles that reflect the Seine, copper furnishings and undulating panels. To fall alseep rocking in the waves, in a suite brushing up against the water, all one has to do is take the metro to the Gare d’Austerliz stop, and take a short walk to the Hotel Off.
WHERE: 20-22 Port d’Austerlitz, 75013 Paris, Francia

The Moodboarders is a glance into the design world, which, in all of its facets, captures the extraordinary even within the routine. It is a measure of the times. It is an antenna sensitive enough to pick-up on budding trends, emerging talents and neglected aesthetics. Instead of essays, we use brief tales to tune into the rhythm of our world. We travelled for a year without stopping, and seeing as the memory of this journey has not faded, we have chosen to edit a printed copy. We eliminated anything episodic, ephemeral or fading, maintaining a variety of articles that flow, without losing the element of surprise, the events caught taking place, and the creations having just bloomed.
