This week we feature the Mainport Hotel, Rotterdam as our design inspiration.

Mainport Hotel is presented as the epitome of modern luxury. Designer Feran Thomassen was keen to produce interiors which showcase an international influence yet maintain notes of traditional Dutch styling.

Credited with a five star rating, Mainport combines stylish interiors with intricate prints  and colourful accessories to create a space which is at once elegant and inviting.

 
As fans of patterns, we really enjoy the contrast between simplicity and outbursts of patterns and textures strategically placed around the space. The mixture of surface textures is also compelling: smooth and uneven, natural and artificial, polished and rugged finishes. This touch really highlights the designer’s focus on contrast, and brings opposing elements together in a pleasing way.
