Today Interiors
the World Of Hospitality
Today Interiors Established in the early 1970’s Today Interiors initially imported specialist textile wallcoverings from highend European mills. The company quickly gained a reputation for innovative collections, distributed on an exclusive basis throughout the United Kingdom and Ireland. In-house design facilities were added in the early 1980’s to broaden the company’s appeal to both domestic and export markets. The resulting collections soon accounted for 95% of sales and established Today Interiors as a leading name in the supply of fabrics and wallpapers to the designer and high street boutique shops. This period saw the company expand rapidly, moving to purpose-built premises in Grantham and, due
to its central location, had direct links to all major roads. Further land was also acquired at this time in anticipation of future growth with the second phase of the build completed a few years later, effectively doubling storage capacity. Customer service is regarded as a key ingredient in the company’s success. All enquiries and orders are dealt with by professional personnel, many of whom have served in excess of 20 years with the company. The Today Interiors product portfolio has been broadened in recent years to include plush highperformance velvet furnishing fabrics from Italy, weaves from Belgium, and designer wallpapers sourced in Europe and the United States. Alongside this, some of our product range includes sheers, Website: www.today-interiors.co.uk
animal prints and faux furs together with designer wallpapers and innovative textile and mica wallcoverings. We have nearly 100 versatile wallcovering, upholstery and curtaining fabric collections which are ideally suitable for domestic interiors whilst their performance, durability, and FR qualities meet the high standards demanded for contract projects. Today Interiors are suppliers to major retailers, commercial clients and national and international hotel groups, leisure, hospitality and restaurant industries plus leading cruise ship lines. Our export markets include the USA, China, South Africa, Scandinavia and most EU countries.

Guests can choose from a winter mountain adventure on the soaring slopes of Jackson Hole and Vail, a tropical escape to the unspoiled Hawaiian island of Lanai, and a cultural immersion in France and Italy. Throughout their journey, air transportation will be arranged by NetJets, while

An omakase dinner at NOBU Lanai is highlighted by a sushi-making class personally led by the restaurant’s Executive Chef Marlowe Lawenko.

The Arch London The Arch London is a luxurious Georgian townhouse hideaway in the heart of central London. The officially rated five star property is a regular resident amongst the top 20 Luxury hotels in the UK on TripAdvisor and has earned the 2017 Forbes Travel Guide Recommended Award. The hotel is tucked away on a calm residential street in Marylebone, a stone’s throw from Bond Street, Hyde Park and the West End, and spans seven Grade II listed Georgian townhouses and two mews homes. Upon entering reception a roaring open-fireplace provides a warming welcome to travellers. The interior throughout is quietly glamorous, boasting marble and glass, and a specially curated collection of art, including a moving art installation illuminating the reception desk. English heritage is fused with
contemporary boutique design, with walls adorned in eye-catching artwork by British talents. The corridors have also been permeated with character, and black and white ‘Alphatecture’ series of prints span the length of the gallery-inspired hall leading towards the Martini Library. A member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World™ and Pride of Britain, the hotel boasts 82 bedrooms including eleven sumptuous suites spread over six floors. Floors are considerately numbered 1, 2, 3, and 5 as the number 4 is considered unlucky in Asian cultures. Spacious interconnecting rooms are on offer for families or larger groups. The hotel is dog friendly with an ethos to treat pooches to the same indulgent experience as their owners, with luxurious dog beds, bowls, and delicious doggy menu cooked to order by a chef. Dog walking services are

These include soft drinks, water and juice from the mini bar, Jing teas, a Nespresso coffee machine, MALIN + GOETZ toiletries, WIFI and daily changing exotic flavoured drinks in the lobby.

Hurlingham Baths
the World Of Hospitality
Hurlingham Baths When looking for inspirational design, whether for a hotel suite or luxury bathroom, it is fair to say that Hurlingham were truly influenced by the rustic chic of the resurgence in industrial engineering and design which led the design process of the Copper Bateau in an antique hammered finish, a statement of robust hand-crafted quality which is designed to stand the test of time. Truly a statement bath which has been hand crafted by copper smiths from two pieces of copper , allowing each undulation and every character mark to be highlighted to celebrate the time-honoured work that is involved in creating the bateau style. Hurlingham offer a range of bateau baths in copper, brass and antique finishes. If there is a colour theme
running through a design, it is also possible to have the exterior of the bateau bath painted and for an extra luxurious finish the interior of the copper bateau could be nickel plated. When considering room dynamics, the bateau can be accommodated in most bathroom designs which require a unique feel as there are several sizes to choose from including 1500mm, 1700mm and even a 2000mm version in all finishes. The Hurlingham range of bateau baths can be painted in any RAL colour or matched to a paint colour of your choice, the Robersons metallic paints are always a good choice as they enhance the copper or nickel finish of the bath, adding another level to the design. If following trends and it is important
Website: www.hurlinghambaths.co.uk
then to paint the bath in the Pantone Colour of the year for 2018, Ultra Violet is also an option. When there are so many options why stop there? Why not take luxury to another level and add a leather finished roll top to the bateau bath, carefully hand stitched by Hurlingham’s in-house upholsterer. Hurlingham are involved in many hotel projects every year and can assist you with technical advice for your project designs. To find out more about Hurlingham or for help with a specification or project we have a team that can offer more information for this service, please contact Corrine Mill at Corrine@hurlinghambaths.co.uk

woka lamps
Woka Lamps WOKA LAMPS VIENNA is a Vienna-based Manufacturer of Iconic 20th Century Lighting Design. Lovers of iconic lamps from the early 20th century were for decades deprived of the possibility of owning some of the most striking pieces by the Wiener Werkstätte and the Bauhaus, which had long fallen out of production. The designers whose work WOKA is licensed to produce read like a who’s who of the Vienna design pantheon. In addition to Hoffmann and Koloman Moser, the manufacturer has reissued striking table, ceiling, wall and floor lamps, as well as chandelier pieces, by the likes of Adolf Loos, Otto Wagner and Carl Witzmann.
A collection of very rare antiques of the early 20th century as well as a large collection of chandeliers from the 18th century until the 1960s is completing the business of the WOKA GALLERY. On request all antiques and pieces of arts are delivered with an expertise made out by a certified appraiser for art and antiques on the commercial court in Vienna. Due to WOKA’s extraordinary achievement, in 2016 the minister for economic affairs and Vice Chancellor of the Austrian Republic Reinhold Mitterlehner, has awarded WOKA LAMPS VIENNA with the right to use the Austrian Coat of Arms in matters of business.

Fraumaier
a Shady character
Fraumaier - A Shady Character You may expect a lot from German design: functionality, straightforwardness or severity but humour isn’t necessarily one of the things that comes into your mind at first. Based in a town next to Stuttgart - the place where Porsche Design invented their 100 Shades of Grey years before E.L James came up with her 50, the lighting company FRAUMAIER is pushing the envelope of how light-hearted German design can be. It started in 2004 when the designer Felix Severin Mack founded FRAUMAIER and named it after his lady pet dog - a fact that might be considered as irritating and not necessarily inspiring confidence but in fact, it turned out to be the memory hook for all his customers - apart from a nice job with the Mosque in
Oman that cancelled its order after finding out. The big names that enjoyed his work overshadow that anyway. FRAUMAIER has furnished the King Abdul Aziz Center of Cultural Heritage in Dubai, the Musee du Quai Branly by Jean Nouvel and hotels like the Marriot and Le Meridian. Observing the playful range of graphic and weightless designs, Scandinavia immediately comes into one’s mind - or as we call it today “the international style” in which FRAUMAIER fits in so well, that even IKEA felt, let’s say “inspired” by one of the products... But what strikes one at first is the colour range. Hardly any other lighting company sets such a high value on colours - not only today but consistently since the beginnings: floorlamps are available in 13 Website: www.fraumaier.com
standard colours from stock, pendants in a range of 40 colours upon request within just a few weeks. This is one of the reasons why the well-known design hotel chain 25 hours is now working on the 3rd hotel with FRAUMAIER lighting. Despite the contemporary appeal the designs carry, you can still feel the tradition behind every one of them. Maybe it’s the sixteenth century house in which the office is located. Every product is an advancement - an “old thought’s new child” that combines familiar aspects with new ideas. Even the technology respects the customers wishes of being able to use old incandescent bulbs or LED retrofit, even revolutionary multi-dimmers are able to work with both. FRAUMAIER - the first “good girl” that gets us a treat.

filament bulbs are integral to the Art Deco, 1930’s inspired interior designed by Tully Filmer. They evoke a traditional British ambience alongside details such as aged oak wood panelling and bold geometric marble flooring. The 85-cover contemporary restaurant follows Rankin’s Jersey theme offering seasonal Jersey produce including fresh lobster, crab, oysters and foraged herbs. The lighting was key to creating the right atmosphere for this prestigious restaurant.

New Hotel Opening: Akyra Sukhumvit Bangkok Early 2018, the iconic AKARYN Hotel Group, will further expand its diverse range of luxury hotels and resorts, with the launch of the highly anticipated akyra Sukhumvit Bangkok. This boutique city hotel located in the happening hub of Bangkok will be made up of swanky rooms designed for admiring the city’s captivating landscape and an extensive rooftop terrace for enjoying cocktails and entertainment through the day and into the night. The latest addition to the three akyra sister properties, akyra Sukhumvit Bangkok will offer re-imagined urban
accommodation for savvy travellers in the heart of the Thai capital’s most dynamic city. The akyra Sukhumvit Bangkok is well located on Sukhumvit Soi 20, an area known for its buzzing atmosphere, green recreation spaces and fine dining. The 50-room akyra Sukhumvit Bangkok will offer guests generous accommodations with incredible cityscape views only found in Bangkok. This downtown property will boast an upscale rooftop space, where guests can sip craft cocktails at the pool bar and relax on stylish sun loungers and cabanas, all perfectly positioned to take in dramatic panoramas of Bangkok’s modern architectural design. Open to
guests and outside visitors this spacious rooftop terrace (100-person capacity) is destined to be the city’s hotspot for after work sunset drinks or a glass of bubbly before I night out on the town. The rooftop will also be available to host memorable gatherings, private dinners and VIP receptions. This hotel aligns perfectly with the akyra brand; defined by smart technology, funk, flair, experimental approach to design, all within trendy locations where the young at heart intersect and connect. The akyra hotels are designed for travellers looking to make the most of Asia’s most diverse and culturally rich country.
AKARYN Hotel Group
Each of akyra’s four, distinct five-star hotels are founded on akyra’s brand ethos whilst reflecting unique regional tradition. Every property offers experiences and activities designed to allow guests to interact with the area’s surrounding history and culture - far from a cookie-cutter experience. The launch of akyra Sukhumvit Bangkok at the beginning of 2018 follows the recent opening of
akyra Thonglor Bangkok – another stylish property comprising 148 studios and one- to three-bedroom suites located in Thonglor, Bangkok’s fashionable district renowned for its contemporary culture and creative cuisine. “Everything Bangkok has to offer is packed into this renowned part of Sukhumvit. Our two akyra properties offer distinct urban experiences, but each

one is also defined by the strong sense of style and independence that sets the akyra brand apart from other hotels. The aim is to make a stay with akyra far more than a room to sleep in at night, yet being one of the highlights of the overall Bangkok experience,” says Anchalika Kijkanakorn, Founder and Managing Director of Akaryn Hotel Group.

Everyone Loves An Upgrade The array of different locks available today can make your purchasing decision confusing. With a variety of features to choose from, how do you know what lock is best for your bar, restaurant, hotel or office? You are likely to need different types of lock for external doors, internal doors, and cabinets. You might also require specific lock features for insurance purposes or to meet building regulations. Investing in new technology is one way to improve your guest’s experience. In recent years technology has had a positive influence on many areas of hospitality management, including applications for access control.
The ability to offer keyless entry removes the hassle of storing, issuing and replacing keys. The audit trail feature allows managers to keep track of when and

within the world of hospitality and leisure. Smart locks are now being used to control door access to meeting rooms and keypad locks to secure service areas and cleaning cupboards.
Better control of access Electronic locks and smart locks have a Master Code and can store multiple Sub-Master codes, allowing house-keeping and maintenance staff to be given their own codes. When a guest leaves, the manager or staff can access the room using their personal code, and delete the guest code at the same time. The door is then locked until activated by the next guest.
Convenience is key Electronic and smart locks are now commonly used in place of traditional key locks because they offer so much more in terms of convenience. Rather than using a key, access is gained by punching in a code on the keypad, using a card or phone.
Similarly, rather than issuing a key for every door where you need to restrict access, you can simply issue a code. Employees can access areas out of bounds to the public without having to carry door keys. Entering a code into the door lock is quick and easy. And if an employee leaves the organisation, you can simply change the door code. Website: www.codelocks.co.uk
Digital door and cabinet locks have many applications
Furthermore, the introduction of the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in May 2018 requires businesses to implement more stringent security measures to protect personal data. This might involve the introduction of encryption software for sensitive information however, providing lockable cabinets to securely store customer information and documents will help to demonstrate compliance. Codelocks’ range of cutting edge locks allow easy upgrade to improve the customer journey, increase productivity and drive efficiency across your business.

An easy upgrade will transform your door access and allow a greater level of control.

A meticulous balancing act of sensitive renovations where implemented using a combination of traditional artisan techniques and hi-tech materials to create healthy, sustainable interiors.

“The best architect was, in any case, the house, or rather the ruin, itself – we really didn’t want to change all that much because there’s a reason for everything having been built the way it was. Our task, rather, was to find out how everything had looked originally and find a way of incorporating high technical standards, in keeping with environmentally sustainable criteria, without compromising the historic appearance. For example, we now have ventilated underflooring, underfloor heating where possible, windows that comply with the very latest energy standards, large rainwater cisterns and even biological sewage filtration.”

Award-winning Chimo Sheffield (Mfg) Ltd is one of the few remaining genuine quality cutlery & tableware manufacturers in Sheffield. One of its well-known brands “Tricketts” of Sheffield” have been supplying the Hospitality industry with quality products since 1880 – over 135 years.
