New York firm Gachot Studios custom made the mohair sofas, blue paint and fire grate that feature in this hotel in Detroit, designed for American watch brand Shinola.
Shinola Hotel forms part of Shinola, a watch company based in Detroit that prides itself on American products. Most of its leather straps and goods made using leather supplied by Chicago-based tannery, Horween Leather, founded in 1905.

For the project, Gachot Studios overhauled an historic, terracotta-clad building that completed in 1915 by TB Rayl Company. It now accommodates 129 rooms across 10 storeys, as well as numerous lounges and restaurants.
The interiors feature a number of custom details designed by the studio, including a Shinola Blue paint colour that covers the ceiling in a foyer in high gloss lacquer. A reception desk in this area is made of mahogany.
Numerous custom furnishing by Gachot Studios decorates a sitting area, which measures 1,400 square feet (130 square metres). Sofas range from caramel mohair, dark brown and light blue.

A central Arabescato Grigio stone fireplace has a custom metal grate, while throw pillows are sourced French textile designers Toyine and Le Manach.
Gachot Studios also chose dozens of books and objects for Shinola Hotel, and a vast collection of artwork was curated by JJ Curis of Bedrock and Shinola.
