OKKO Hotel Chain aims to create a modern temporary «home» that is suitable for both work and leisure.

About the Designer:

Designer: Patrick Norguet

Patrick Norguet was born on June 15, 1969, in Tours, France.

From a young age, he preferred drawing to reading, filling his sketchbooks with drawings and sketches. For Norguet, design is first and foremost a rich experience. He is passionate about exchanging ideas with manufacturers and understanding their expertise. This designer doesn’t follow trends but creates products that transcend time and possess a modern feel: «A well-designed product, born from sincere collaboration, is timeless.»

In addition to interior design, he also works in industrial design and has curated exhibitions for Van Cleef & Renaul.

He perfectly integrates Cappellini’s theories on the connection between fashion and design into his projects, creating works that are highly recognizable in both business and private settings.

Patrick strives for innovation through minimalism. The New OKKO Hotel

Patrick Noggett and MUUTO were commissioned by the OKKO Hotel Group to design the interiors of their first urban-style hotel. His design concept makes full use of the limited space.

This new hotel, part of the luxury hotel group OKKO, features 149 rooms housed in a building designed by Jean-Michel Wilmotte with a safety glass facade. The OKKO Hotel is ideal for business travelers or extended stays in the fashion capital.

Incredibly, Patrick Noggett faced absolutely no constraints in designing the hotel’s interiors. He had complete creative freedom. Noggart explained:

“It all stems from a strong philosophy. We decided to discard the outdated elements of traditional hotels and replace them with modern, digital solutions. We wanted to simplify and enhance the guest experience. In this new hotel, there are no check-in or check-out procedures, no room keys, and the minibar has been replaced by a bar where guests can enjoy complimentary drinks and food at any time. It all stems from our desire to make our guests feel at home.”

In this era saturated with homogenization, for Patrick Noggart, uniqueness is key to design success. This is fully reflected in the OKKO Hotel: it not only creates uniquely atmospheric rooms but also a distinctive space where guests can relax and feel at home.

At the OKKO Hotel, you can enjoy all the amenities that make you feel at home around the clock!

Conclusion

Muuto represents a modern interpretation of the Scandinavian design tradition, combining simplicity, functionality, and innovation with a strong sense of identity. The brand’s name, derived from the Finnish word meaning “new perspective” or “landscape,” reflects its philosophy of rethinking traditional design concepts while maintaining the values that have long defined Nordic aesthetics. Through this approach, Muuto has successfully positioned itself as a brand that respects heritage while embracing contemporary creativity.

At the core of Muuto’s design philosophy is the idea that everyday objects should be both beautiful and functional. Scandinavian design has always been known for its clean lines, minimalist forms, and practical usability, and Muuto continues this tradition by creating products that fit naturally into modern lifestyles. Each piece is designed not only to serve a purpose but also to enhance the atmosphere of the space in which it is placed.

Another defining characteristic of Muuto is its dedication to craftsmanship and quality. The brand collaborates with talented designers from around the world, allowing fresh ideas and diverse perspectives to shape its collections. These collaborations bring together traditional Nordic principles with innovative materials, textures, and forms, resulting in products that feel both timeless and contemporary. This balance between creativity and craftsmanship ensures that Muuto’s furniture and accessories remain durable and relevant for years to come.

Muuto also stands out for the personality present in each of its designs. Rather than creating generic or purely functional objects, the brand aims to give each product a distinctive character. This attention to individuality allows Muuto pieces to become more than simple furniture or decorative elements—they become meaningful parts of the spaces they inhabit. Whether in homes, offices, or public environments, Muuto designs help create spaces that feel welcoming, balanced, and thoughtfully curated.

In Portugal, the representation of Muuto by MOYO offers design enthusiasts the opportunity to explore and experience this distinctive Scandinavian brand. Through carefully curated collections, customers can discover products that reflect both modern design sensibilities and the timeless values of Nordic craftsmanship.

Ultimately, Muuto demonstrates how tradition and innovation can coexist within the world of contemporary design. By respecting the foundations of Scandinavian aesthetics while constantly seeking new perspectives, the brand continues to create products that combine durability, functionality, and artistic expression. Its designs remind us that great design is not only about appearance but also about improving the way we interact with the objects that surround us every day.
