Stacked Hotel

We talk a lot here about furniture that folds up and takes less space; we like it to be easy, efficient and neat. Bristol,UK artists Adam Dade and Sonya Hanney do this for art rather than interior design; they go into hotels, pack up all the furniture and photograph it. In an introduction to an exhibition in Birmingham, Simon Morissey described the process. “Each of the ten versions of Stacked Hotel Rooms ... had the same parameters. The artists check into a given hotel. They familiarize themselves with the room. They dismantle the room without being discovered and without causing damage to its contents. They arrange the contents into a stack formation of some kind, a volume within a volume. They take a photograph of it and latterly have also videotaped the process. They reassemble the room. Everything is back in its rightful place”.

Up To My Room

As you may have noticed the venue for our recent Come Up To My Room design show coverage was the Gladstone Hotel in Toronto. The entire second floor of the building was used for the exhibition, but the third and fourth floors are a full-fledged hotel with a unique story all to itself. A newly renovated Victorian era hotel, the hotel is 115 years old, it now has 37 artist-designed hotel rooms and suites that range in style from classical contemporary to the outer reaches of the avant garde. Christina Zeidler, one of two curators for the CUTMR show, is also the hotel's manager. She gave us the guided tour and here are some of the room images we brought back. All of the decorative elements, and much of the furniture and the lighting were custom created for each room.
