I believe a hotel lobby project is an ensemble piece--variations on a theme, </span><span style="font-size:130%;">a corps du ballet with no soloist. I wanted each sconce to relate and respond to one another, creating a sense of movement throughout the lobby.<br /><br />This approach also gives a sort of narrative to the space, a way of moving and experiencing the space as a whole not just a still life. As the hotel guest enters the lobby multiple points of interest are created and the eye travels with the flow of the design.<br /><br /></span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-size:130%;">In a large space, having 1 beautiful sconce or multiples of the same would read as bland, and make the narrative fall flat. As with all my work, I wanted the sconces to enliven the room, to bring movement and energy and life. Unifying the space so that the lobby is experienced as a cohesive whole, the lobby becomes the focal point, and the perfect place in which to receive a guest.<br /><br />I hope you enjoy them.<br /><br />My best,<br />Laura<br /></span></div></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4663288822376777262-7952189663037539508?l=lauraspectordesign.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>lauraspectordesignhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10269302830006311443noreply@blogger.com1
