Jeffrey Beers As head of Jeffrey Beers International, Beers pursues a wide range of high-profile projects from celebrity chef-led restaurants to nightclubs to hotel spaces. His firm aims to create "imaginative variations on classic themes of glamour, elegance, wit, and seduction" through its design. Beers attended the renowned Rhode Island School of Design and worked for six years at the firm of architect I.M. Pei. Jeffrey Beers Where you can see his work: Fontainebleau Resort Miami Beach; Dylan Hotel The elements of his style: Dramatic and sleek, with creative approaches to lighting; the furniture plays a significant role in the overall design scheme Philippe Starck Hotelier Ian Schrager (formerly of Morgans Hotel Group fame) gave Starck his first whack at designing hotel interiors in the late 1980s, and it was a match made in heaven: Starck's stunning designs became an integral part of Schrager's boutique hotel revolution. His beautifully designed lobbies and hotel bars became destinations in their own right, where non-guests came to drink and socialize. Starck became one of the biggest brands in the hotel industry, and remains the creative force behind the designs at some of the world's trendiest hotels. Philippe Starck Where you can see his work: Delano; SLS Hotel at Beverly Hills; Clift; Hudson Hotel; Mondrian The elements of his style: Surreal, oddball design that makes you feel like you've fallen down the rabbit hole. Everything feels oddly out of proportion: Chairs are too big, ceilings are too low, and other things are in the wrong place altogether. The overall effect is dazzling and transporting. Kelly Wearstler Wearstler (who we previously blogged about) got her start as a Playboy pin-up, but she's transformed herself into a hot Hollywood decorator, leaving her stamp on pricey homes and trendy hotels, and earning herself lots of mainstream press in the meantime (from the New Yorker and Oprah, among others). Kelly Wearstler Where you can see her work: Tides South Beach; Viceroy Santa Monica; Maison 140 Beverly Hills The elements of her style: Bright, bold, and lacquered -- Wearstler's style is far from subtle. Favorite accents include animal busts (including busts of dogs, lions, horses), prints, and splashes of vivid colors like green and fuchsia. David Rockwell The son of a vaudeville dancer and choreographer, David Rockwell continues to be inspired by the theatrical -- and it shows. A trained architect, Rockwell's workload is diverse, including hotel interiors, restaurants, the Jet Blue terminal at JFK, museums, and even Broadway theater sets. His style is as varied as the projects he takes on -- his firm website says its work doesn't subscribe to a signature style and "reflects a quirky pluralism." Indeed, each space he designs tells a unique story. David Rockwell Where you can see his work: Canyon Ranch Miami Beach; W New York; The Alex Hotel; Ink48; W New York Union Square The elements of his style: Theatrical, unique designs, with distinctive elements -- like the bubble-glass chandeliers, electric blue velveteen couches, and red silk upholstered seating alcoves at Ink48; and beautiful teak and bold splashes of orange and purple in Canyon Ranch's warm, inviting rooms.
