Sleepotel – the future of hotel design unveiled
How does the future of hotel design look to you?
Envisaging the future of hotel design is not an easy task. It takes creativity, innovation and the end result must meet the needs and demands of the industry.
That was the challenge extended to leading interior designers, architects, manufacturers and suppliers when they were invited to participate in the Sleepotel and their designs will be unveiled later this month in London when the Sleepotel opens its doors at the Sleep Event Europe 2011.
This live hotel environment will introduce design as an experience and demonstrate a range of pioneering approaches to deliver outstanding spaces to wow and inspire you for your future hotel budgets.
Renowned industry brands and world class designers who have participated in previous Sleepotels include Atelier Nini Andrade Silva, Blacksheep, Design LSM, JOI Design, MKV Design, Spa Vision, Space Therapy, Studio Archibella, and Utopia. Challenging their creative talents to bring you the future in hotel design for 2011 and beyond.
Responsible for the Sleepotel bar are AR18, a London based company specialising in the realisation of bespoke design and manufacture. They have created an outdoor space that attracts the inquisitive eye to enter and explore the features within.
Designing the first Sleepotel bedroom are Soho-Based design agency MONTAGE, who are best known for their work with luxury brands like Kerastase, Shu Uemura, Marc Jacobs and many others. With Armada, their newly developed design technology, they are introducing an artistically intelligent creative process which evokes a 4th dimension of design. Armada’s intuitive design process creates spaces which have an impact of awakening and revitalisation for the client. Clients will witness the development of their own deeper creativity, clarity and strength. Armada is about impact at a deeper level of intelligence.

Kohler Co presents ‘7 Brands: 1 Solution’ a fully designed hotel room featuring its bathroom and interiors brands; Kohler, Kallista, Daryl, Ann Sacks, Baker, McGuire and Mark David.
A-TYPIC designed by award winning practice RARE architecture in collaboration with Ligne Roset challenges the perception of a typical hotel room dimensions in the second Sleepotel bedroom. A range of dual function furniture pieces developed to respond to constrained conditions define a self-containing spine responding to multiple configurations. Our partners: Ligne Roset, Villeroy & Boch, Bristan, Lano, Geberit, Corian & Ligna.
The Kusch Design team aimed to create the sense of an outdoor space built within, through the use of design elements as metaphors for a natural environment. What anchors this design scheme is the use of low rectangular platforms set in a bed of smooth river stones as a foundation for the third Sleepotel bedroom. All other design elements within the space were carefully chosen to add texture, and interest creating a minimalistic, modern, and zen environment balanced with a sense of warmth and comfort.
The Naturalmat Green Room will demonstrate the best British brands and producers of fully sustainable hotel bedroom furnishings for the fourth bedroom of the Sleepotel. Focusing on the mattress and bed, the room will be a showpiece for the best in class eco interior products, manufactured from natural and sustainable materials, and will provoke the visitor to consider what the key products and features are for creating a healthier and more sustainable hotel sleeping environment.
