MALCOLM BERG
FOUNDER | EOA GROUP
Berg realized his purpose in a spot a little more precarious than most of us: while barreling
toward the earth in a Pitts Special aerobatics plane. "I saw it below me, straight on as a perfect
canvas." Once he pulled up on the stick, and the earth became palpable from the sky, he knew
what he wanted to do: "marry the sculpture with the garden, to make them inextricably
entwined." How did that translate to his design philosophy? "My thesis was focused on the
interstitial spaces between architecture and landscape, between interior and exterior." And he's
been blurring those lines ever since to become a dean of experiential design. Proof is in the
pudding with projects like The Shore Club in Turks & Caicos and work for brands such as Curio
by Hilton and JW Marriott. Turn to page 184 to read more about where it all began.
VINCENT CELANO
Celano submerges himself for projects, getting lost (in a good way) in the details. "Do
not fall in love with the idea. Fall in love with the process" is his motto and, to be honest,
words to live by if you're looking to survive in this business. Perhaps that's why Marriott
International tapped him for a rebrand and repositioning of Fairfield Inn, as well as work
with Autograph Collection and Moxy brand properties. Carefully conceptualized designs
are the name of the game for Celano, who's been at the helm of his own firm since 2006.
Want to hear about his infatuation with a bar back that simply had to look like an ancient
Chinese family heirloom for the restaurant Red Plate at The Cosmopolitan Las Vegas?
Turn to our Restaurants Deconstructed feature on page 112.
ED NG
COFOUNDER AND PRINCIPAL | AB CONCEPT
From a villa in the south of France to the fine details of an intricate lighting feature to
the grand gestures in a luxurious lobby, for Ng, every design project he takes part in is
more like a cultural journey. After founding the design firm AB Concept with architect
Terence Ngan in 1999, he made that a global mission. That statement was brought to life
in recent projects like Shanghai's Lalique flagship boutique, which mimics a modern-day
enchanted forest, or the Yun House restaurant at the Four Seasons Hotel Kuala Lumpur,
which channels the legends of Cantonese voyagers. But no matter the project, Ng's
guests take the journey with him through time and space-just as they do at the Laguna
Baycourt Club Hotel & Spa Resort, featured on page 64.
