When it comes to making the new home purchase decision, having a bathroom space that offers this lifestyle choice is an incredibly important and persuasive factor.
However, with busy modern day lifestyles, new demands and the growing importance of the role of the bathroom within the home, house buyers are now increasingly looking for a bathroom that offers the luxury look and feel of a five-star hotel or spa, but combined with the appropriate functionalities to deal with the practicalities of everyday life.
The new collection by Sottini, the timeless bathroom brand built on a heritage of quality and innovation in design, is geared towards both the house developer and hotel sectors, which ensures residential property developers can create the perfect look that appeals to consumers looking to replicate the very best in highend hotel luxury style in a domestic bathroom.
Bathrooms are being designed to balance the practical needs of hopping in the power shower before work, with offering users the ability to ‘treat’ themselves every day in serene space to have a leisurely soak in a statement bath.
The hotel bathroom has a lot in common with its domestic counterpart, not just in terms of creating a spa-like, relaxing sanctuary, but also in creating an individual finish with a sense of character that sets them apart from the competition. Website: www.sottini.co.uk
Luxury, style and elegance is what bathrooms of first-class hotels are defined by – and Sottini has collaborated with internationally-renowned and award-winning product designers from around the world to create a collection of elegantly-crafted individual items that can be curated in a multitude of combinations for a domestic setting. Each piece in the Sottini collection has been developed individually with high design specifications and precision engineering, ensuring each basin, bath and WC is a unique piece: a work of art and a design statement – enabling the integration of the luxury experience of a hotel stay into the bathroom of a new home.

Bacchus, the Roman God of wine, and the wooden barrels holding this delicious beverage, provide the inspiration to create this sideboard, limited to 20 numbered pieces. Its avant-garde design is paired with quality materials, ensuring a truly unique character. We'll explain the story... It begins with a visit to the Port wine cellars... It was a rainy day and two of the brand's designers were visiting Oporto. In a pause between meetings, they decided to stroll through the town of Gaia, but it began to rain a lot as they walked by the entrance of one of the cellars. Well, they entered, and in that moment, was starting a guided tour. They joined the group, but soon after, the imagination began to float and the ideas to come... After the visit they ran to the hotel at full speed and began to draw the first sketches of what would be this fantastic sideboard.

Sharon Marston - QP LDN The newly revamped two Michelin starred restaurant QP LDN features a scheme of Sharon Marston’s sculptural lighting installations. The British made creations welcome diners as they enter the restaurant and provide glamorous, sparkling back drops around the dining room and piano bar in the heart of Mayfair. Known as a celebrity hotspot, the Dover Street venue, is now collaborating with neighbouring art dealers and galleries to offer its diners examples of the capital’s modern art to buy whilst they eat. Welcomed diners have included the likes of Beyoncé, Kylie Minogue, Harvey Weinstein and King Carlos of Spain, Sharon Marston’s artistic contribution to Quattro Passi’ dining area consists of customised versions of her Bella light design. The “L” shaped artworks create dramatic curtains enclosing the seating areas
at either end of the restaurant which is then further complimented with a cascading globe at the entrance and main staircase. Each of these installations are composed of over 10’000 individual Flora inspired decorative components, all made from woven copper mesh that were hand crafted in the company’s London based studios. The tumbling compositions are assembled across facades of fibre optic filaments that decorate and garnish the dining area with twinkling pin points of light. The opulent scheme extends in to the luxurious basement bar, where two large Starling panels adorn the grand piano in tones of gold illuminations. Each panel has been delicately gilded with a distressed gold leaf finish with 4’000 hand blown glass leaves intricately assembled in a meandering composition across this glistening façade.

Boos Beach Club Restaurant
Boos Beach Club Restaurant *O QMBDF PG UIF PME CBS SFTUBVSBOU #004 #FBDI $MVC modern and contemporary architecture, tightly linked to its context, reflects the new image of this iconic venue in Luxembourg The new structure, interwoven around the existing IPVTF JT JOTQJSFE CZ UIF +BQBOFTF BSU PG PSJHBNJ *U resembles a folded sheet of paper that answers to the program requirements, while creating a relation with the old and opening up to the natural surroundings. The idea was to integrate harmoniously the new structure into the existing natural context, while at the same time paying respect to the existing architecture by placing a light wooden structure with glass openings towards the landscape. The dynamic design enables orienting the bar and eating areas towards the outside, guiding the views to the tall tree stalks. By leaning on the existing house, and due to its triangular form, the self-supporting rigid roof requires very few peripheral structural points. The motivation to choose this lightweight and easily removable roof system leaves space and possibility to the idea of possible future change, if needed.
The main access is situated in the front of the existing house, reestablishing in that way the original function distribution. The outdoor areas have been rethought and refurbished. The lateral outdoor terrace was partly removed and replaced by a white sand beach. The back terrace, however, has been optimized and modified to achieve a stronger connection with the whole. The project also includes the refurbished kitchen and eating area, both located on the ground floor of the existing house. Under the new triangulated structure, the smoking area together with the fireplace and a small dining area, introduce spatially the main zone of more than 200 m2, dedicated to the dance floor around the monumental bar. 5P QSFTFSWF UIF u#FBDI DMVCu JEFOUJUZ PG UIF QMBDF UIF new structure consists of raw materials: burned wood, polished concrete floor, raw steel, a terrace made of XPPE BOE XIJUF TBOE 5BLJOH UIFN BMM UPHFUIFS UIFZ create the desired character, both inside and outside.

Brewing Energy Savings at My Front Room My Front Room, Edinburghâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest coffee house situated on Salisbury Place, opened for business this summer, with the introduction of energy-efficient filament LED lamps from LED Eco Lightsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Bright Goods range. Passionate about coffee, owners Nick Keenan and Lucy Jacobs, started My Front Room last year at their very own kitchen table. The vision was simple, they wanted to create a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere where people could simply enjoy great coffee and tea, combined with excellent customer service. Nick explained that there was a frustration from other coffee houses becoming generic both in dĂŠcor and customer service and they wanted their coffee shop to have a completely different approach. Designed by Creative Designer, Keiron Calder, My Front Roomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dĂŠcor has a modern, functional and contemporary feel. The room is furnished with teal,
grey and orange chairs complimented by an orange feature wall, decadent to 1960s chic. More importantly, My Front Room is cosy, bright and spacious with a friendly atmosphere. A variety of hot drinks and cakes are offered along with homemade soups and sandwiches. When it came to choosing lighting for My Front Room, Nick had originally entertained the idea of using Edison style filament bulbs, however due to their inefficiency, lifespan and poor light output, they were decided unsuitable for My Front Room. Nick trialled â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; LED filament globe light CVMCT JO UXP DPMPVS UFNQFSBUVSFT XBSN , BOE WFSZ XBSN , "ŃŤFS B TVDDFTTGVM USJBM QFSJPE UIF XBSN DPMPVS UFNQFSBUVSF , XBT QSFGFSSFE BT it complemented My Front Roomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dĂŠcor. The LED filament light bulbs are used with a dimmer switch, allowing the lighting to be completely controlled.
Website: www.brightgoods.co.uk
Nick was delighted with the aesthetic appearance of the George bulbs, which feature a beautifully unique lattice style LED filament, that he decided to display them bare as show pieces throughout My Front Room. The George LED filament light bulbs are installed throughout the cafĂŠ; over the bar, above the seating areas, beside the windows and in a stunning cluster above the sofas. Commenting on the George, Nick stated â&#x20AC;&#x153;The energy-saving benefits from these bulbs are second to none. They were exactly what we needed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; modern FÄ&#x201C;DJFODZ CSJHIU PVUQVU BOE B HSFBU QJFDF PG EFTJHO * was very pleased from the array of samples received, to the overall cost, plus the outstanding and continued customer service received from LED Eco Lights.

The dynamic, multi-sensory gift card packaging plays on the notions of surprise and delight, which have been proven to help in building strong memories around events. Pull one side of the packaging and the other side pops out simultaneously. A simple concept but one that is not expected and when combined with beautiful graphics and engaging content creates a real 'wow' in the mind of the user. In 2010 when Mr & Mrs Smith relaunched their gift card in Burgopak's innovative 'Slider' packaging, their gift card sales increased significantly. Surely adding weight to the argument that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just the gift but also the way in which itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wrapped that matters to consumers.
