huge job on their hands in matching works to
interior design, ambiance, clientele and location. Handheld Image is one such consultancy
that collaborates with designers and architects to bring the work of top photographers and artists to the hotel industry. Established in 2000 by Peter and Kimberly Lavery, Handheld offers both limited edition artworks and artistic production tailored specifically to each project. At St. Pancras Renaissance London Hotel, photographer Peter Lavery was commissioned to create pieces under the theme of time and travel, journeys past and present. Original artefacts found in the hotel, including a battered bowler hat, an old silver fork, a torch, and embossed playing cards were all incorporated in a solution befitting of the hotel. In addition to individual projects such as Coworth Park in Ascot and Cameron House in Loch Lomond, Handheld Image is art consultant for Hotel du Vin, Malmaison, and Village Hotels. The UK-based company also has a comprehensive library of images and a print studio where
artworks are created in-house. Purple Canvas is another such consultancy supplying artwork to the hospitality industry. Based in Munich, Berlin and London, it offers in-house design, manufacture and framing, delivery and installation. Landmark projects include Burj al Arab in Dubai, Jumeirah Carlton Tower in London, and Mandarin Oriental in Prague. With offices in Atlanta, Los Angeles, and
London, Soho Myriad offers creative services to hotel groups Four Seasons, Mandarin Oriental, The Ritz-Carlton and St Regis. The firm has provided art consulting services for the past twenty years earning it an unprecendented reputation in the industry. Interior design firms have also been known
to cross over in to the world of art. Canvas is a newly integrated global art affiliate within Hirsch Bedner Associates and offers a full range of services with an intimate knowledge of the hospitality design industry. From budgeting and concept planning to procurement and installation, the comprehensive art consultancy

is focused on enhancing exceptional hospitality interior designs with well-conceived and fully realised art collections. Formerly known individually as International Art Collaborative (Atlanta), Art Group International (LA), and HBA Art Singapore, these three consultancies (plus a new division in Hong Kong) have joined forces under one collective name. Although a new entity, Canvas collectively has over thirty years of experience supporting HBA projects around the world. “We’ve developed an unrivalled grouping of artists, consultants and designers whose work speaks for itself,” comments Matthew Whitaker, Director of Canvas Atlanta. “Making their talents available to hospitality and other luxury design firms that share our belief in the power of art to transform aligns perfectly with our long-term vision. Canvas will deliver the same high-caliber results already evident in properties as diverse as The St. Regis Atlanta and Siam Kempinski Hotel Bangkok – both superlative examples of seamlessly integrated art collections.”
