Tadelakt (or ‘Tadellakt') has been around since the Middle Ages. It comes from the Moroccan verb "dellek" which means to knead or squash. It is a bright, nearly waterproof lime plaster which traditionally coated palaces, hammams and bathrooms of the riads in Morocco.

Produced with the lime of Marrakech, hand-crafted and made from 100% natural material, its earthy and raw properties have a humble, feelgood quality; a purity that visibly fills the interior, and ironically brings upon itself a luxurious quality: skinny and soft, it is akin to leather. Tadelakt can be pigmented to all sort of different colours of the rainbow. Once pigmented, the surface  changes constantly.

Within the Riad el Fenn, tadelakt is wrapped around all kinds of surfaces, from lining the bathtubs, floors, skirting, handrails and walls. It is its flexible use that has made the material fashionable.

A fantastic architectural lighting that seems to be suspended in the air as it hovers below the ceiling.

Purely decorative, it is playfully wild and sexy and comes alive at night like a sparkler. It innovatively illuminates the space. The green fluorescent has a retro, glow-in-the dark feel, and would not look out of place in a nightclub. It playfully sticks out within the reception lobby, dominating attention with its 3rd scribble properties. In situ, it dramatically reflects onto the shiny black flooring below. This mirrored effect cleverly makes a feature of a feature light!

Situated inside the airport terminal of Gatwick is YOtel, inspired form the Japanese "capsule" hotels.

I particularly like the inventive design of the single bed. Sinking into the wall with an opening, it has a childlike quality as you playfully have to climb up or lower yourself into bed. It has a cocoon-like and protective nature. Designed predominantly to utilise space, the neighbouring cabin beds are stacked above or below your accommodation.

Once in the snug space, it has a womb-like nature. You have the luxury of a private cinema viewing as you face a large flatscreen TV that is encased in oak veneer. The charcoal-grey leather, stylishly surround the bed, doubles up as a headboard. The coherent and minimal pallette of materials and colours, creates a sleek and futuristic style.
