Leandro Erlich Room

Leandro Erlich Room

Like his "Lighting Pipes" installation that twists and turns through the hotel atrium, Argentinian conceptual artist Leandro Erlich was inspired by what is usually concealed in this special room. The main feature is a playful reimagining of the plumbing pipes that are usually hidden. Brass pipes wend their way around the room, immersing guests in his artistic vision. The pipe motif pops up in unexpected places throughout the room, from the furniture to the bathroom accessories. Enjoy the luxury of having an art museum all to yourself. Without a television in the room, the mind is free to wander.

"When I first visited the SHIROIYA HOTEL, already under construction under Sou’s direction, I was impressed by his brilliant and innovative approach to this project: creating something totally new, while also preserving the pre-existing structure. I felt that I was witnessing a magical process in reverse, the creation born of demolition—which is really the nature of creativity. Watching Sou at work, I realized that this building would be like no other and that the incorporation of new ideas into the existing form would create a unique accomplishment. The result is a dynamic excavation that highlights the power of empty space and air. I felt, for a moment, as if I were inside Calvino’s Invisible Cities. One of these stories describes a building that is invisible to the eye but whose pipes and electrical tubes can be seen. I've envisioned this architectural detail as the veins of invisible creatures. This was the inspiration behind the Lighting Pipes that run throughout the building. Architecture is a manifestation of the human imagination and also a springboard for the creativity of the present moment, of the power of art to interface with everyday life."
