As guests enter the remodelled lobby, they are presented with a striking 10m-long solid, sculpted cherry wood feature wall, which Holloway Li designed in collaboration with south London-based furniture maker James Trundle. Holloway Li is known for its work blurring the boundary between decorative and digital worlds, which informed the studio’s approach to the design for this 3D relief texture, digitally modelling it before working with Process Studio to CNC machine each decorative tile before they were individually hand-finished.
The highly textured carved wall panelling, designed as a set of interchangeable tiles, has been crafted to cast dramatic chiaroscuro shadows and highlights across the lobby’s deep footprint, making best use of the hotel’s south-facing street-front. Nestled among the
warm-hued cherry-wood walls are a series of cut-outs to accommodate different functions – for the lifts, seating nook and grab-and-go fridge. These have been framed in a brushed bronze and lined in dark-stained oak as a contrast to the cherry – this reddish-hued timber was chosen as a nod to the brand’s original design motifs.
The cloud-like entrance pendant light, created in collaboration with lighting designer Joe Armitage, was digitally modelled by Holloway Li. The undulating form, which was realised by draping a paper-backed flexible diffusion material between a steel frame, offers an ethereal effect.
The new reception desk/coffee-counter further references the original architecture with its array of bespoke stone columns by Marble Collective interspersed with vertical bronze bars on one side to differentiate the hotel concierge from the coffee counter. As a
