Wilbert Das Industrial Design/UXUA Casa Hotel
Wilbert Das is the biggest fashion designer in the world and you’ve probably never heard of him. The Creative Director of Diesel for the past 18 years, Das is the chief creative force behind the Diesel brand’s $1.5 billion annual sales. Das’ creative juices don’t just run through the clothing and accessories that he designs for Diesel lines, but also into the world of hotels or in this case - UXUA, a luxurious and beautiful creative retreat hidden away in the tropical rain forests of Trancoso, Bahia - Brazil.
Constructed using local labor and materials (something he was told was impossible at the start of the project) Das has created a paradise that isn’t just for celebrities
‘Real people stay here too’ states Das.
