PRESENT PERFECT

Combining contemporary accents with timeless style is what Blink Design Group strives to do, while staying true to the cultural heritage of each location. “We’ve always managed to put a modern touch on designs, even if an operator wants a traditional-looking hotel,” says Nagata. “It always goes back to how you reinterpret (tradition) to create something that is of today, and not of yesterday. I think that’s what makes our designs look timeless.”
