Hilton Frankfurt Airport Hotel, Frankfurt, Germany The Hilton Frankfurt Airport Hotel lobby contains artistic elements that fl ow throughout the space and incorporate themes of fl ight and transporta- tion. JOI Design created a unique and functional area, particularly near the reception desk, which is offset by two golden canopies in the shape of wings. The free-fl oating golden wings are made from 3,200 square feet of metal mesh in the Man- darin weave from GKD-USA Inc. The fi nely woven bronze-fabric enabled designers to underscore the noble impression of the interior and to use targeted light effects to enhance its appearance. The reception desk is located in a seven-story
atrium and lobby that focus on themes of fl ight and mobility. The designers intended to create a retreat for the large number of business travel- ers passing through. By using natural shapes and colors, guests gain a sense of leaving behind the noisy traffi c environment and coming to a place to refresh and relax. Other objectives of the design were to provide a division of space and build an emotional relationship to the guest, through even the most subtle design elements.
