The public spaces set the tone for everything that follows

A hotel begins before the guest reaches the room. Entrance, reception, lobby and circulation spaces communicate the character and level of the property within the first few moments.

Sovelle approaches these areas through composition, focal points and carefully selected pieces — introducing individuality without unnecessarily filling the space or competing with the existing architecture.

A hotel begins before the guest reaches the room. Entrance, reception, lobby and circulation spaces communicate the character and level of the property within the first few moments.

A memorable lobby does not need more decoration. It needs clearer hierarchy and the right pieces.

THE ARRIVAL EXPERIENCE

Different spaces. One coherent visual language

Arrival & Reception

Art, lighting, mirrors, furniture and objects selected to create a confident first impression and establish the character of the property.

Lobby & Lounge Areas

Curated pieces that give seating and social spaces warmth, individuality and a stronger relationship to the wider interior.

Corridors & Staircases

Art, sculpture, lighting and carefully placed interventions that create rhythm and make circulation spaces feel intentional rather than secondary.

HOSPITALITY IN PRACTICE

Character must also work operationally

Public-area selections are considered in relation to scale, circulation, durability, maintenance, guest interaction and the operational requirements of the property.

Where technical or specialist input is required, Sovelle works alongside the hotel's architects, designers, contractors or operational team.

CURATORIAL LAYERS

Pieces selected for presence, proportion and place

Art & Wall Composition

Original art, works on paper, photography and larger wall compositions selected according to scale, sightlines and architecture.

Sculpture & Architectural Objects

Sculptural pieces, pedestals and architectural elements used to establish focal points and spatial character.

Mirrors & Decorative Lighting

Selected mirrors, lamps and decorative lighting that introduce depth, warmth and stronger visual composition.

Furniture Accents

Consoles, occasional tables, benches and other distinctive pieces introduced where they strengthen the existing furniture scheme.

Objects & Styling

A restrained selection of ceramics, vessels, books and collected objects for reception desks, consoles, shelving and lounge areas.

Local & Heritage References

Art and objects that connect appropriately to the property's location, history or cultural context without turning the interior into a themed environment.

OUR PROCESS

OUR PROCESS

From curatorial direction to final placement

#1 CURATORIAL DIRECTION

We begin by understanding the architecture, location, guest profile and existing interior language. From there, we define the visual character, art direction and object vocabulary for the space.

#2 ART & OBJECT SOURCING

Selected works and objects are sourced from the Sovelle collection and through our European network of dealers, artists, galleries and specialist suppliers. Each piece is considered for scale, material, context and relevance to the project.

#3 PROCUREMENT & COORDINATION

Once selections are approved, Sovelle coordinates acquisition, supplier communication and project requirements. This can include availability, dimensions, condition, transport and delivery planning.

#4 PLACEMENT & STYLING

The final stage brings the curatorial scheme into the space through composition, positioning and styling. Where required, Sovelle can coordinate placement and installation with the wider project team.

SELECTIVE INTERVENTION

Not every public space needs a redesign

The greatest improvement may come from editing rather than rebuilding.

Sovelle can assess what should remain, what is weakening the space and where selective changes in art, lighting, objects, furniture or placement can create greater impact while retaining the existing architecture and successful elements.
