Bespoke Lampshades for Martin Budnizki's latest interiors; 25hours Hotel Copenhagen Indre By

"To create two designs and then hand paint these designs onto 20 lampshades for Copenhagen's first 25hours design hotel designed by London based Interior Designer Martin Brudnizki.' I worked with Martin Brudnizki Design Studio to create multiple design options to go with their chosen wallpapers, fabrics and furniture in the two rooms where my lampshades were to go. After multiple rounds, we tweaked two designs. Over two months I hand painted the designs onto test lampshades colour matching to the fabrics before starting on the 16 lampshades which had been shipped to my studio. ABOUT THE HOTEL: Copenhagen: The first 25hours hotel in Scandinavia has opened its doors in the Danish capital, decked out in everything other than Nordic chic. Erected in the 19th century, the establishment once housed a porcelain factory and was later used as a university building. 25hours created the hotel in collaboration with the local architects from BPP Arkitekter and Martin Brudnizki Design Studio, a firm of interior designers from London. Their combined efforts teased out and reinvigorated the architectural quality of the building. Guests drift constantly through periods in Copenhagen’s history and find themselves transported back into a bygone era – both indoors and out. Innumerable new elements are nonetheless visible throughout the building complex. A stroll through the 25hours Hotel Indre inevitably means a juxtaposition of the old and the new. This design has created a fascinating, dichotomous arena that delivers a wealth of contrasting experiences.
