A new unique creative project was born in the heart of Hanoi. The interior design was created by Sylvain Mariat, an aircraft designer for an European aircraft maker - who has more than 19 years of experience in creating decorative and industrial concepts for VIPs, airlines and corporate jets.

We are honored to have such talented and successful designers to create the working environment for S&S Members – S&S Group Hanoi Office. The new design reflects our values of innovation, excellence and diversity, as well as our passion for art and culture. The artwork of Cyril Kongo is vibrant, colorful and expressive, bringing a sense of joy and optimism to the office. Then combined with the interior design of Sylvain Mariat, which is elegant, sophisticated and functional, providing us with comfort, privacy and intimacy. All those were inspired by the design concept of private jets.

S&S Group Hanoi Office is a firm nod came from the previous flying project but with different graphism as Cyril Kongo made unique artwork for it. As now the two understand their ways of working even more charismatically. Sylvain scanned the artwork and put it inside the space as the carpet, some partitions or the huge engraved vertical glass. We can say that we are in front of pieces of art. The carpet is handcrafted and is reflecting the exact of the artwork of Cyril Kongo. All are covered in one space could be seen as a capsule-gallery.

Sylvain shared he was too excited to sleep the night he accepted this project and instantly started working on the ideas and concepts that night. The main concept was to put a spirit of the first airport, the large open space is imagined as a luggage carousel with a very complex ceiling. Sylvain defines his inspiration was from the business aviation airport Paris-Le Bourget, the National Air and Space Museum of France. “I play with the glass partition to get something open and clear and in the same to improve the soundproofing. You can also find the office kitchen designed as an Aircraft galley.” – said Mr. Sylvain Mariat.

We are also proud to share the relevant connection between S&S and Sylvain Mariat as not only he designed our Hanoi Office but also an old friend – he is one of Richard Mille family's members – since their collaboration in 2019. The two companies launched a new travel watch, inspired by and adapted to exclusive journeys on an Airbus corporate jet. The watch, called the RM 62-01 Tourbillon Vibrating Alarm ACJ, features innovative elements such as a discreet alarm that alerts the wearer through vibrations that only they can feel. Mr. Mariat created the sketches of the new design, which were then turned into reality by a team at Richard Mille¹. The watch is a true creation of the best of both ACJ and Richard Mille, encapsulating their pioneering, proven and industry-leading expertise.

2019 was also a special year for S&S Group and Cyril Kongo – our beloved graffiti artist – a world-renowned creators of his own kind. We opened Cyril Kongo Hanoi Gallery and found S&S Art division. The rest is history.

4 years later and here we are, having 2 talented and successful artists in the world to create working environment for our S&S Members. We hope that this will inspire you to work with creativity, enthusiasm and professionalism.

We appreciate Cyril Kongo and Sylvain Mariat for their amazing work, and we look forward to collaborating with them again in the future.
