Crossed seats and bins installed at Hilton Hotels.
Hilton.
In 2015, Hilton hotels in Canada, starting with the Hilton Lac-Leamy, were furnished with Stéphane Chapelet's Crossed range, chosen through a tender. They wanted a more modern design around their hotels.
A choice championed by Atmosphäre
The specifier, Atmosphäre, a specialist in high-end landscape design, really liked the Crossed products. The fact that they came from a European manufacturer, Lab23®, was no obstacle. Hilton approved the choice.
Frontages furnished with the Crossed range
The hotel frontages were furnished with Crossed benches, bins and planters. Their crossed-branch shapes are very popular and give the hotels' surroundings a modern design. The benches are backlit: the light emphasises the effect of the cut-outs.
A result that modernises
Hilton is pleased with the result, which modernises the whole and makes it more original. That is the point of original design: it helps the studio's clients stand out and win projects on other continents.
Laser-cut, folded steel
Each Crossed piece is made from a steel sheet, powder-coated or corten, that is laser-cut and then folded. Specifier: Atmosphäre. Manufacturer: Lab23® (Italy). Photo credits: @Atmosphäre.
