Chairs are an object of desire for many people and truth is, a stylish chair can really give identity to any room. The same applies to hotel environments, too, especially when we are talking about hotels where owners have invested something more than just money in the creation of the lobby, the rooms and the public spaces.
Classic, eccentric, curvilinear, trestle, spindle-backed, pierced, cantilever and arabesque are only some of the chair styles that can beautifully complement a room’s interior design. Today, we will explore together three hotels in which the chairs play an instrumental role in the guest’s experience due to their unique aesthetics and smart design. In each of these properties the chairs help in the creation of identity but also aim to make the guest feel comfortable and nice.
First things first, the chairs of the Santa Monica Proper hotel, furnished by the global design visionary, Kelly Wearstler. Wearstler is highly sought-after for her distinctive and inspiring approach to residential living and her influence on the furniture selection of several hotels under the umbrella of Proper hotels is clear. By mixing contemporary furniture and repurposed finds from vintage shops, focusing on neutral tones and hand-picked deco details, the designer has created a well-balanced atmosphere where guests can relax, explore beautiful objects that cannot be found anywhere else and feel spoiled. Chairs seem to play a very important role to Wearstler’s decoration approach; I have personally managed to count thirteen different types of chairs in the hotel’s restaurant alone.
Next on my list is a very fashionable suites-only hotel, the brand of which is synonymous to elegance and luxury. I am referring to Fendi Private Suites Roma, which is located in the heart of the Eternal City and consists of seven impeccably designed suites. The boutique hotel sits on the third floor of Fendi’s prestigious headquarters, providing guests with an exclusive shopping experience alongside sophisticated accommodations, encompassing aristocratic Roman elegance within prêt-à-porter living spaces. The various chair styles complement the palazzo’s grande architecture; fine fabrics, a carefully selected palette matching the walls’ colours and contemporary units harmonically combined with classic ones, giving guests an authentic Roman experience in luxury surroundings.
Chairs, chairs and more chairs; on gloomy days when everything seems grey and dull, El Fenn shows the bright side to the hotel world and its chairs are just one of the colourful furniture that make this place look so happy. For those who can do with a little bit more pink and a little bit more yellow than others, El Fenn is paradise. Chevron and flame stitch patterns on the chairs interact playfully with the checkered floorings and the multi-layered surfaces. The chairs shout about comfort and coziness, inviting you to lay your body on them for till room service arrives.
