Hamish Bowles Sambas His Way Through Rio de Janeiro’s Carnaval | Vogue
"The Janeiro Hotel, which opens officially next month, is the brainchild of designer Oskar Metsavaht—whose fashion brand, Osklen, was built on the concept of sustainability and “new luxury” decades before they became industry buzzwords, and who is now the creative director of OM.art. Built in 1975, when this area of Rio’s famed coastline was being developed into luxury apartment buildings to replace the Beaux Arts villas built at the turn of the last century, the Janeiro has been reconceived to embrace Metsavaht’s philosophies and exemplify his values." - Hamish Bowles
