It seems the Mercer Hotel Barcelona managed to nicely preserve history and its roman walls while at the same time adding a touch of new without over-designing the place. Often designers and architects spoil what’s there by adding too many modern features […]
What if unused hotel rooms could just disappear and become useful space? With these mobile walls and these murphy beds this could be possible…
Nido is a set of occasional tables (like when you want to have your suitcase displayed openly in the hotel room) made in Valencia from solid oak. A design from the 60s, still valid today.
Nice Murphy Beds from Spain by Sellex, who seem to have a solid environmental policy. Perfect for hotel beds that are not constantly in use.
Great idea! The customised wallpaper of the Wythe Hotel tells the story of the building… growhousegrow: Beautiful wallpaper cooked up by the very talented Dan Funderburgh for the new Wythe Hotel in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
Nano-treated bed linens could save the average hotel more than 100 million liters of water per year. A great example of Biomimicry at work, learning from the Lotus plant how to clean without detergents. [Thanks dMASS for the tip!]
More fun, locally produced sustainable furniture from Spain we’d like to see in our hotel. These seats are by Barcelona designer Guillem Ferran, and made in Valencia.
Chairs = multi-functional, minimum use of material “clothes cupboard”… nice idea for a hotel room, don’t you think? Via hilkar.mx
Very cool way of hanging and putting away things, perfect for hotel rooms so we don’t need cupboards!
Here’s a pedal-powered TV from a hotel room at Cottage Lodge in the UK! I guess that also eliminates the gym…
VOC-free paints of course! In Spain the leaders seem to be Livos and Keim… any other brands you recommend?
Surely we don’t need clumsy wardrobes in hotel rooms if there is a rack for each suitcase… I mean, who actually unpacks for a 2-5 day stay?!
Cool poster for any hotel wall! By Green Patriot Posters.
Reclaimed wood used to make bed headboards, nice!
