LE MÉRIDIEN \ HAMBURG \ GERMANY

LE MÉRIDIEN MAP  A permanently installed 3 x 4 metre site specific piece that follows the curvature of the walls of the lobby of Le Méridien Hotel, Hamburg, Germany.

Le Méridien Map dynamically depicts shipping routes of the world using myriads of meticulously plotted lines of wire. Taking centre stage in the hotel’s reception area and is the focal point as soon as you come through the entrance. A bespoke piece, composed of tonal shifts of metallic lines and shading, designed to be in keeping with the travel themed style of the hotel whilst simultaneously echoing the luxurious interior design. Countless streaks of lustrous glimmers reflect and transform with the constant movement of the hotel’s busy foyer.

Produced in collaboration with JOI-Design, Hamburg.

“The reception has been completely transformed into a bright, expansive oval space furnished at one end with a pair of prominent timber-clad reception desks. Behind these, a specially commissioned large-scale artwork by UK artist Debbie Smyth is an eye-catching backdrop; thousands of fine metallic threads crisscross the surface to illustrate a map of the world, with select lines emphasised to indicate key international shipping routes of today”
