Sean Connery photographed by Terry O’Neill
London is calling at The Bond on Brickell, a 328-unit, 44-story condo tower set to break ground later this year that will be adorned with vintage prints by the British celeb photographer Terry O’Neill on its hand-stitched leather and suede walls. The Bond’s developer, Rilea Group, tapped Mexico City-based Loguer Design to outfit the building’s lobby and other common areas, according to a company release.
“We approached The Bond with the goal of creating an ambiance that would feel like home to London’s legendary jet-setters of the 1950s and 60s, as well as the jet-setters of today,” Ramon Alonso, senior partner of Loguer Design and head designer of The Bond, said in the release. The result: pin-striped granite floors in the motor lobby and an illuminated crosswalk-homage to The Beatles’ Abbey Road album cover.
The 60s-swinger concept continues into the lobby, where O’Neill’s photographs of Sir Elton John, Bond girl Barbara Bach, and Sean Connery, lounging in Gaetano Pesce’s UP 5 chair, will be prominently displayed. A contemporary version of the iconic gray cashmere chair will be situated directly beneath the image, as part of The Bond’s permanent collection, the release said. — Emily Schmall
