Curated by Suzanne Oxenaar (artistic director of the Lloyd Hotel in Amsterdam), LLove consists of 14 guest rooms, as well as a cafe and a shop, all completely refurbished by a selection of eight Dutch and Japanese designers, including Pieke Bergmans, Richard Hutten, Joep van Lieshout, Scholten & Baijings and Jo Nagasaka, Yuko Nagayama, Ryuji Nakamura, and Hideyuki Nakayama. Concieved to celebrate 400 years of trade and cultural relations between Japan and the Netherlands, each designer was given complete freedom to do anything to their room. The results range from the surreal to the magnificent, with each designer approaching the concept of a guest room in completely different ways.
Pieke Bergmans explored the romance and compassion of love with her room, where ‘the bed is crawling up the wall, the chair desperately stretching out to get closer to the table, the lights entangled… everything has fallen in love.’
