“We will continue to design individual spaces for individual people. Luxury is found in bespoke services and attention to detail. It is through the details that the world will become less uniform, and sustainability will be achieved through the use of quality materials. Our visions are shaped around people. A design concept must radiate strength and longevity.”
Amsterdam based FG stijl was founded by Englishman Colin P. Finnegan and Dutch native Gerard Glintmeijer in 1995 and today comprises several different disciplines: interior architecture, architecture, concept and product design, styling and graphic design. This combination of talents has been utilised across a range of international projects including restaurants, hotels, offices and retail spaces, as well as the design of bespoke furniture pieces. FG stijl frequently turned to Interna for creative support and this collaboration resulted in the Monograph Collection AngloDutch which reflects their symbiotic desire to design and create quality furniture. In their first decade, FG Stijl produced a prolific body of work, including four of the Netherlands’ Michelin starred restaurants and Amsterdam’s award winning, The College Hotel. These efforts secured the Prix Villégiature award for ‘Best Hotel Interior Design in Europe' and the Theme.nl 2005 Award for Best New Hotel Design Netherlands. Since then FG stijl completed the Dominican hotel as Brussels first recognised ‘Design Hotel TM’, Vienna’s DO & CO hotel and restaurant and are currently working on a new Hyatt Regency in Dusseldorf and the first Jumeirah Resort Hotel in Europe, due to open in Mallorca in 2010. Other projects include restyling the Fort Malakoff Hyatt Regency Mainz and Sheraton Brussels Airport hotel. Their first monograph volume was published in 2008 and nominated for the Prix Villégiature ‘Best Book on Hotels in Europe’ award.
