In Hudson, N.Y., a Textile Mill Is Now an Art-Filled Hotel
By Sylvie Florman
The Hudson Valley’s newest hotel, Pocketbook Hudson, makes use of a 19th-century textile mill a few blocks from Warren Street, the town’s main drag. The New York design firm Charlap Hyman & Herrero renovated the four-story building to create 46 guest rooms with brick walls and oversize factory windows, many featuring stainless steel soaking tubs. Guests can cuddle up in bespoke green geometric-printed bathrobes from Eckhaus Latta, while, in select rooms, custom terra-cotta lamps by Misha Kahn add warmth to the industrial setting. A lobby lounge offers a cafe menu during the day and cocktails at night. Next door, the restaurant Ambos serves a menu of Argentine-inspired dishes, such as crispy lamb neck with charred flatbread, using live-fire cooking techniques. In addition to rooms, three floors house retail and gallery spaces showcasing a selection of art, clothing and housewares, including minimalist drinking glasses by Mamo and clothes by the Japanese sportswear brand Y-3. The original boiler room has been transformed into a club that will host rotating DJs and live performances. Next year, a bathhouse with plunge pools, a steam room and spa treatment rooms is scheduled to open in the factory’s former storage building. The artist WangShui helped to curate the property’s contemporary artworks, including a seven-foot-high painting by Tschabalala Self that greets guests as they walk into the lounge. Pocketbook Hudson opens Oct. 29; from about $380 a night, pocketbookhudson.com.

Rugs Adorned With Psychedelic Plants
By Kate Branch
The Los Angeles-based design studio Commune creates spaces and objects that are sophisticated yet unfussy and earthy, from the Ace Hotel in Kyoto, Japan, to a cabin in California’s San Gabriel Mountains where the bronze doorknobs were cast from local river rock. The firm’s new collection, Psychedelic Rugs, its fourth collaboration with the painter and designer Christopher Farr, draws inspiration from mind-altering plants. One rug, hand spun from wool and silk, is covered in poppies — an ode to the fluttering flower fields near Commune’s office. Another features a forest floor of mushrooms and ferns in shades of blue and orange inspired by the 19th-century designer William Morris. The third rug in the collection features marijuana leaves as a garland on a cool mint backdrop. “Hardly anyone drinks alcohol anymore,” says Commune co-founder Roman Alonso, who explains why he was drawn to these psychoactive motifs that are more ingrained in today’s culture. “We’re just elevating [these ideas] to a level of craft that has perhaps not been seen before.” From $130 per square foot, christopherfarr.com.
