"Poetic scenes and stories inspired by ships and navigation are depicted in intimate ambiences inspired by "telling tales of the sea". For example, the Moby Dick bar was inspired by Melville's famous character. The tail of a whale outlines the bar and stretches out to the dance floor, a tribute to the ship-building trade". Sophie Jacqmin
"Inspired by Tunisia's cultural heritage as the crossroads of civilisations, this project focuses on the kilim carpet, with a bedhead inspired by a weaving loom. The lights are inspired by reels of coloured thread that stand out from the overall scheme of soft, fresh colour." Sophie Jacqmin
"The image I have is of a group of teenagers gathered round a park bench, it could be anywhere. What they need is a flexible, open territory that they can adapt in their own way, rather than a space that somebody else has defined. They need to create it themselfves". Sophie Jacqmin
The "Car Wash" uses the water from the lagoon for its workshops inspired by the universe of car and ship mechanics. Amphibious vehicles and huge drying machines all "managed" by a central control room in a spirit of carefree chaos.
Located on the ground floor, facing the South China Sea, this Club Med Passworld is a colony of mutant mushrooms that look like lanterns, hanging from the ceiling. Each one is a world of its own, with its own specific function!
"Poetry and the unexpected are the inspiration behind the stories I tell: the idea is for the public to get involved and feel free to take the story over". Sophie Jacqmin
