NINE ORCHARD HOTEL TAPS TAKAMICHI FOR ITS LUXURIOUS BATH AMENITIES: TAKAMICHI KYU.9
We are very proud that Takamichi was approached by longtime friend, urban developer, and client Andy Rifkin to create bath amenities for the highly anticipated luxury hotel Nine Orchard. The shared love of craftsmanship and specialization made collaborating a natural fit.
“As soon as I saw the team’s development process, I knew it would be a very special project, says Takamichi of the just-opened boutique property occupying Lower East Side’s landmarked Jarmulowsky bank building.
In good company: Acclaimed chef Ignacio Mattos, for example, helms the property’s dining outlets and room service offerings, while Dimes Market curated the guest room minibars. Even smaller details, like the books curated by Leigh Altshuler of Sweet Pickle Books and custom-made speakers by Brooklyn-based Ojas, were all carefully considered.
TAKAMICHI KYU.9
The striking cobalt blue, refillable bottles are exclusive to Nine Orchard.
While many hotel amenity brands, even prestigious ones, license their name and outsource production to make things quickly and cheaply, Takamichi KYU.9 features the original and clean European-made formulas from his namesake collection TAKAMICHI ICHI.1 infused with his signature green scent developed by Japan’s oldest fragrance house Takasago International Corporation.
