CASE STUDY: Furnishing London Marriott Hotel Kensington

Recommended Supplier Curtis has recently supplied headboards, TV units, wardrobes, desks, vanity shelves and mirrors in London Marriott Hotel Kensington

In line with the design brief to create a stylish and modern bleisure hotel, Curits was specified to create bespoke furniture for London Marriott Hotel Kensignton.

The company supplied furniture in xylocleaf MFC, hand-selected pressed European walnut, including upholstery, and polished stainless steel.

Due to the complexity of the room design for this stunning hotel refurbishment, the client needed to find a supplier whom they could trust to work closely in partnership with the main contractor.

Having worked with the furniture company before, the client chose Curtis to supply the hotel because it is a quality UK-based supplier with large manufacturing capability, it prides itself on having a meticulous project management process, tried and tested since 1998 and its solid partnership approach with a strong customer service record.

The effect of all these different co-ordinating materials is of a luxurious design with consideration given to every detail.

Each room needed to be supplied over four separate visits to allow other contractors, such as decorators and electricians, in to complete their work in the correct sequence. Curtis, already known to the client for our eagerness to be flexible and provide great customer service, worked in close partnership with the main contractor to ensure our timings fitted into the schedule perfectly.

The initial stages had tight lead times and Curtis pulled out all the stops to ensure we could get moving as quickly as possible, explained David Elliott from County Contractors. We were impressed with how smoothly everything went, and with the quality of finish and fitting of the furniture.

Curtis manufactured, supplied and installed bespoke furniture, including:

• Upholstered headboards
• Gladstone oak MFC TCMF trays with black powder coated legs
• Statement hand-selected pressed walnut features on TV units, sideboards and wall panels
• Xylocleaf MFC bedsides
• Fenix NTM desks, with solid ash legs and mirror panelling
• Upholstered luggage benches
• Co-ordinating wardrobe areas with Gladstone oak drawers with leather handles, xylocleaf minibar units and black powder coated hanging rails
• Metal-framed mirrors with integrated glass vanity shelf.

In the suites, slotted privacy walls and swivel TV units in hand-pressed walnut add to the impressive combination of beauty and function.

The effect of all these different co-ordinating materials is of a luxurious design with consideration given to every detail and how it will impact on the guests experience. Thoughtful design doesnt come better than this.
