King Street Townhouse Spa

Written by Denise Deacon on August 10, 2022.

Hoad & More’s statement ceiling feature, developed for the luxurious King Street Townhouse Hotel and Spa, was inspired by cave stalactites. The eye-catching design is brought to life through the use of over 1000 timber-wrapped aluminium tubes, suspended from above to create natural, arching wave patterns.

This installation was developed and realised for the HUT Group (THG) alongside EPR Architects and Studio29 Lighting. The piece features prominently in the Spa Lounge area of the hotel and spa. Its illumination has been achieved through the use of approximately 300 LED downlights. It is DALI controlled and IP44 rated.

The Mondrian

Written by Denise Deacon on May 30, 2022.

Shoreditch is a well-known hub for trendsetting and excitement, renowned for its celebration of the unique and the bold. With our work for the Mondrian Shoreditch, we wanted to create something that playfully incorporated Shoreditch’s originality and spark whilst maintaining a timeless and high-end feel. Our use of bespoke, double-layered chandeliers creates a beautiful visual to welcome guests to the East London hotel, offering continuity as the lights continue through to guide visitors into the lobby and on to the rest of the hotel. Alongside our feature lighting, we provided further lighting in the public areas of the hotel, including floor and wall lamps, all completely bespoke and intended to accentuate the hotel’s beautiful interiors and offer eye-catching details. This piece is sure to make a lasting impression on visitors for years to come.

Bedside Integration Unit

Written by Denise Deacon on May 20, 2022.

In addition to producing our own small power products, at Hoad & More we work with our tech partners to augment their products and services.

This bedside unit was developed to house a Lutron Palladiom keypad on a nightstand, giving the guest easier access to GRMS functions that a traditional wall mounted solution. The unit mounts to the bedstand on a rotating pivot connector, and is finished to match the satin brushed brass of the Lutron plate.

Hoad & More’s bespoke systems give designers a tool to help tell their stories and emphasise key elements of their interior scheme.

375 Kensington High street

Written by Denise Deacon on February 9, 2022.

Each block of these prestigious Berkeley Group apartments had a different design brief so our team of designers created two new products, one to compliment each block’s design. The first variation was composed of backlit fawn glass with a touch doorbell, complete with a bronze frame. This included an illuminated scroll detail designed by Sue Faulkner for the Tai Ping carpets that were installed in the corridors. For the second variation, we supplied a brushed stainless steel push button positioned in a stone door number panel. Our versatile approach to every project allowed us to fulfil this brief to create two very different, but equally striking, results.

Residence Inn Ghent – Public Areas

Written by Nicholas Worthy on October 5, 2019.

Inspired by American abstract artist, Alexander Calder, this mobile installation from Hoad & More draws the eye of visitors and guests and enhances the space in Residence Inn Ghent’s open-plan reception area. The piece’s three illuminated globes are suspended in a fashion that allows them to move slowly under their own weight. This dynamic feel, combined with the ambient light from the elegant globes, gives the installation an organic effect and creates a mesmerising feature.

Minories – Canopy by Hilton

Written by Nicholas Worthy on May 14, 2019.

Canopy is Hilton hotel’s luxury boutique branded hotel in East London. Hoad & More created this striking installation to match the building’s ornate exterior. The bronze dish lighting in the lift lobby is complemented by the continuation of the lighting in the guest room corridors.

Hilton Munich

Written by Nicholas Worthy on February 9, 2018.

The room numbering at the Hilton Hotel, Munich showcases Hoad & More’s commitment to the finer details in order to make a project work and work brilliantly. We were commissioned by Goddard Littlefair to produce a custom room number with appropriate lighting, something that matched and complimented the surroundings and existing signage. By using the colours and materials found elsewhere in the hotel we were able to design and create numbering with the rich brown outer loop as pictured, brought to life with an illuminated number set. The antique, hand-finished brass dish the numbers are set within offers exquisite colour tones and suits the rest of the hotel perfectly. From a large-scale, 300+ piece project to a single, bespoke installation, we believe in design excellence tailored to our client’s needs.

The Arts Club

Written by Denise Deacon on February 9, 2015.

The Arts Club is a members-only social club in Mayfair, founded in 1863. In 2015, the club underwent a complete renovation and re-launch and Hoad & More were engaged to design and manufacture a new room-numbering and locking system. We kept the club’s wealth of history in mind when working on the project and created timeless additions to the space. The technology is modern but the style we have embraced compliments the surrounding decor to maintain a consistent and elegant feel. Each door number is manufactured from brass, recessed, and side-illuminated with LEDs. The lock reader cover for the VingCard Essence lock was produced to match the club’s wooden doors, seamlessly integrating the technology into the door. We pride ourselves on our ability and enthusiasm to customise our work to suit a client’s needs, a commitment that shines through here.

Bijou Bar

Written by Nicholas Worthy on April 11, 2011.

Hoad & More’s solution for The Bijou Bar is inspired by our award-winning lighting design, Catherine Wheel, evoking excitement and joy in the onlooker without losing the sophistication and elegance synonymous with the Radisson brand. Whilst a striking design, the piece remains subtle with its lighting output being diffused to create a gentle illumination in keeping with the relaxing, contemporary feel of the bar.

Residence Inn Ghent – Guestroom

Written by Nicholas Worthy on October 14, 2010.

For the guest rooms in this Belgium-based hotel, Hoad & More provided a range of features to enhance the guest experience. The mirrors appear in two sizes, and offer varied lighting options and demisting. Built-in illuminated buttons help the guest shape the products to their needs. The bedside lighting is brass-finished to suit the space and is completely adjustable. Complimenting all this are the backlit Wall murals, complete with matching imagery that ties in the rooms’ interiors with Hoad & More’s work in the public areas of the hotel.

50 Kensington gardens

Written by Denise Deacon on February 9, 2010.

This project was an opportunity for Hoad & More to apply our expertise to develop a new door and wayfinding signage solution. Taking forward the concept design issued by Lynne Hunt interiors for the pictured London residential property, we set to work bringing lighting into the equation to create uniform numbering and lettering units that complimented each other and the features of the surrounding space. Each unit was supplied with a wall mounting bracket for ease of maintenance and installation. Each piece, featuring raised, laser-cut lettering or numbering, was individually illuminated by LEDs and is set proudly on a bronze frame to create clear and lasting signage, designed and manufactured with elegance in mind.
