Interiors | Hospitality
The interiors bring together the layers of a classic hotel setting. Dark timber panelling and crystal chandeliers give the dining room warmth and formality, while pale wall mouldings, curved furniture and patterned textiles soften the living rooms and bedrooms. Stone bathrooms continue the composed material palette.
Dark timber panelling, a layered ceiling and crystal chandeliers establish the dining room's framework. Pale table linen and chair covers soften the darker background, while daylight reduces the visual weight of the joinery and keeps the formal setting warm and comfortable.
The living room moves towards a brighter cream palette. Wall mouldings, a fireplace, curved timber furniture and detailed textiles form a coherent classical vocabulary. A window sofa, armchairs and a desk create distinct places to pause, with restrained objects allowing the furniture outlines and materials to remain prominent.
In the bedroom, a canopy, patterned textiles and generous window light continue the softer atmosphere. Timber flooring and darker furniture provide grounding accents. The bathroom changes the material experience through expressive stone, a freestanding bath and warm lamps, connecting the different rooms through colour, detail and a shared sense of comfort.
