Why have you partnered with the Independent Hotel Show to bring the show’s Dining Room to life this year? 

This is our 3rd year in a row as a design partner of this amazing show. We have done two more shows in Amsterdam as well. The show gives us an opportunity to showcase our creative design and create new design trends for the hospitality industry as well as we get a chance to meet various hoteliers to learn more about their needs and how we can contribute to this amazing industry.  

What is important to consider when it comes to hotel design? 

 The guest experience should be the utmost priority when it comes to the design of hotels. We focus on creating the spaces which invokes the human senses through our design. 

What was your approach to designing the Dining Room this year? 

This year's design for the Dining Room is inspired by "Biophilia". The word "Biophilia" derives from the words "Life" and "Love". It refers to human tendency and desire to connect to nature. We have tried to create a space with use of organic and sustainable materials. All the surfaces are made out of natural materials reclaimed from the nature such as leaves, grass, flowers etc. The hanging pendants above the bar is hand crafted from natural materials and all the artificial plants are sustainable too. 

How is the theme of Redefining Luxury incorporated? 

"Luxury" is very personal and can be defined by individuals in a different way. We have tried to create the space which we hope will invoke the human senses through natural materials, finishes and by bringing nature into the space. It is like redefining luxury with Biophilia.  

What sustainability considerations were there for this design? 

The whole design began with the idea of sustainability. With use of materials, finishes as well as the simple process of installation. All has been thought through in our design for this year's dining room.  

What suppliers have you worked with for the design? 

 This year, we have worked on an amazing fine dining restaurant project in Sheffield, where we used some of the suppliers whom we have also brought to this show in our design for the dining room feature space. All the organic and natural material-based wallpapers are supplied by "Organoid". For the wall feature lights, we have worked with "Franklite". For the sustainable artificial plants and floral arrangements, we have worked with "Silk-ka". For the hanging ceramic handmade pendants, we are supported by "Andra Munro Design" and for the feature table portable lights, we are supported by "Humble". We have also partnered with our amazing contractor's team "Belvedere" to help us with the installation. 

Where do you find inspiration for your designs? 

In all our projects, the inspiration comes from the context and client's design brief. Also, we try to create the synergy between human and nature in creation of our design. Sometimes our design is intuitive and spontaneous rather than theoretical. We as a creative design studio, love to explore new materials. We also love working with various local craftsman and artist to bring unique character and human touch to the design, rather than making the design look industrial or machine made. The arts and craft, nature and human senses drive our design and creativity in each of our design projects.
