Ace Hotel + Generic Surplus + Arkitip

13 April 2009

We are proud to announce our latest collaborative project.

The Ace Hotel Palm Springs Shoe and Tote

The Ace Hotel Palm Springs Shoe and Tote was designed and developed from the collaborative process between Arkitip, the Ace Hotel and Generic Surplus. In creating a shoe for the Ace Hotel we sought to capture the essence of Palm Springs and the eclectic style of the hotel grounds. We developed a new mesh material that’s breathable for the desert heat, quick drying and non slip for the pool side servers. Considering the Palm Springs environment and the design elements of the hotel, the creation of this new mesh material lends itself perfect to manage water and the desert heat.

The Ace Tote, made out of this same mesh material, was then added as the perfect satchel to carry all the daily essentials from your room to the pool.

The Ace Palm Springs Shoe and Tote is the first in an ongoing collaborative project between Arkitip and Generic Surplus. We aim to to develop objects and products with unique partners from around the world.

While the shoe and tote will not be stores until 01 July 2009, you can pre order your set today from Arkitip.
