You can close your eyes. Not your ears.
Sound reaches us and moves through us, whether we listen or not. It changes how a place feels and how we experience being there. The choice of music shapes that presence.
Pierre Gagnaire
The playlist Pierre Gagnaire keeps on his phone goes everywhere with him. He shares it with us in Paris, and our conversations continue as we introduce him to music he has not heard before. Some of those discoveries later become part of the programme at Le Comptoir, Capella Shanghai.

Hospitality & F&B
Should the music in a hotel lobby change over the course of the day? As guests come and go, the space takes on different roles. Across the hotel, each setting has its own mood and rhythm. What holds them together is the character of the hotel itself, heard differently in every space.
Framework
A sound identity begins with choices shaped by the setting and the music itself. Over time, new uses put those choices to the test. Governance sustains their coherence: it preserves the thinking that connects them and distinguishes what should remain from what can evolve.
