Design by
F. Touber
Engineer, entrepreneur, art collector, interior
designer and garden designer, François Touber lives
many lives turning each experience into an intellectual
voyage. His main philosophy echoes the Asian
understanding of Feng shui in the sense that his
realizations link nature, culture and wellbeing in a
single and continuous flow. Touber adds to his
philosophy the Scandinavian concept of Hygge, the
Danish secret to happiness, where coziness and ability
to enjoy simple things in a warm and friendly
atmosphere fulfill the soul and body.
His French adaptation of Feng shui and Hygge
brings history and culture as the necessary
background, present in a stone, a cabinet, a piece of
art or a fabric pattern like many nods to what build
the beauty of humanity. Touber sees ecology and
economy as part of one single operating system
making the sustainability of the act of creating a
necessary condition. This is why the HotelsT balance
their carbon impact in green investments in the
French forests. Energy consumption and material
used are studied in great details to participate to the
crucial challenge of protecting the Earth.
Beauty is to be found in all material, colors
and shapes. Touber’s work is characterized by the
unusual diversity of materials, his peculiar use of
colors while embracing the singularity that every room
can offer. Thus the HotelsT present amazing wealth
of concepts to feel, see, embrace and feel good.
