influential Memphis Group in the 1980s, the art director for Swatch in the early
1990s and teaching design at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna for 17 years.
He founded his Milan-based architecture/design firm in 2001. Since then, the
studio has created a portfolio of cutting-edge projects, including a variety of hotels,
restaurants, bars and spas throughout Europe. A recently completed commission
is the GOCO Spa Venice, which will debut this month as part of a JW Marriott
property (see page 34). Housed on a private island in the Venetian lagoon, the
design of the GOCO spa is an example of "luxury through subtraction," Thun says.
