The Round Lobby

  • Katerina Demetriou-Jones

The idea for the check-in desk as a moving cart came from Remedios Varo’s Roulotte which features a house-like structure on wheels and the different compartments were influenced by Varo’s Unsubmissive Plant. Again, everything is tailored to fit the character’s specific needs. Frida Kahlo’s The Two Fridas influenced the stance of the concierge, as well as women wearing suits (previously typically a garment for males) such as Las Pachucas in the 1940s.
