8 Tone-Setting Products Shaping Guest Experience
Subtle and experiential design trends converge across a range of new products, reflecting hospitality’s influence on craftsmanship through refreshing perspectives on function and form. Enriching color palettes deepen storytelling, while pure materials anchor built environments with integrity and tactility. Here, eight refreshing designs promise to elevate interiors with luxurious statements that are as functional as they are formal.
Heather Chontos x LAYERED
A trio of vibrant paintings by artist Heather Chontos are newly transmuted into a collection of hand-knotted rugs inspired by different periods and places she has lived and worked. The soft New Zealand wool rugs elevate Chontos’s dynamic abstractions through techniques such as abrash dyeing, which introduces color shifts for a natural finish.
Fiji from Porcelanosa
As part of the Porcelanosa Group, L’Antic Colonial adds six new tiles to the S-Tile Collection. Among them is the colorful, marine-inspired ceramic, Fiji, which is crafted to evoke the visual strength of the ocean. Brushstrokes and waves of color enliven the surface, with seven customizable finishes
that promise to disrupt interior monotony.
Radiant from Shaw Contract
The new hospitality-focused collection of broadloom and rugs celebrates the transformative energy of light and the revelry of human connection. Detailed with luminous metallics and intricate embellishments, Radiant is crafted to instill vitality and a sense of occasion across convivial spaces from ballrooms to intimate lounges.
Eterna from Arca
The maiden product collaboration from Meyer Davis, Eterna, distills the natural beauty of marble through refined, thoughtful forms. Clean lines and elegant proportions distinguish each of the 11 sculptural pieces, conveying distinct architectural narratives—from framed voids to layered volumes. Eterna also showcases the singular depth and character of stone, sourcing material from 22 international quarries.
Creativo by HBF Textiles
Mark Grattan’s new Layered collection draws inspiration from three aspects of his persona. Creativo, embodying his identity as “the creative,” features a seductive, checkered velvet motif. The textile alternates between cut and uncut surfaces in a rhythm that is both tactile and visually appealing across eight colorways.
Sensa from Cosentino
Six new quartzites join the Sensa by Cosentino collection with richly veined patterns that imbue personality through colorways ranging from earthy greens to dramatic blacks. Protected with antiscratch and signature Senguard NK antistain treatments, Sensa products are backed with a 15-year warranty as well.
Ledoux Prêt by Natalie Shook
Natalie Shook evolves her sculptural Ledoux Shelving design with a pair of ready-to-order variations tiered to customizable new heights. Rounded, perforated, and draped in aluminum, one version touts a curvilinear bodily presence evocative of midcentury experiments in lightness and transparency. The second presents a square column integrated with simple cabinetry detailed with the same perforated dot pattern.
Jean Nouvel Seating Collection from Coalesse
Ateliers Jean Nouvel channels the Pritzker Prize–winning architect’s portfolio of Modernist landmarks in a versatile new furniture collection. Intricate engineering and pattern work achieve distinctive, sinuous silhouettes reminiscent of rocks in riverbeds and dunes, while a wide variety of upholstery colors and textures put a signature on the lounge chair, sofa, ottoman, and a tête-à-tête couch.
