A Bespoke Entrance Project in Tartu
At Antonius Boutique Hotel in Tartu, bespoke Atelier Petra illuminated planters bring together planting, natural stone and light at the hotel entrance. Handmade from natural Estonian Reval limestone, the planters give this project a distinctly local material connection.
The entrance is the first part of the hotel guests experience. Here, the stone, planting and illumination work together as part of that arrival, rather than as separate decorative elements.
Natural Estonian Reval Limestone
Material and making are central to the installation. The bespoke planters use natural Estonian Reval limestone, connecting the project to a local material while introducing a planted element at the entrance.
For designers, the project is a reference for bringing natural stone into a hospitality setting. Explore the Atelier collection for the collection behind this installation. A new proposal should be developed around its own entrance layout, planting brief and lighting requirements.
The Entrance at Dusk
As daylight fades, the integrated lighting draws attention to the planting and helps the entrance stand out. The planters contribute to the evening setting as well as the daytime appearance of the hotel.
This is an important consideration for hospitality entrances used throughout the day: planting, materials and light can be planned together from the outset.
Planning Your Own Entrance
A similar project begins with practical questions. Where will the planters sit? How will people move through the entrance? How should the planting appear after dark? These are considerations for a new brief, rather than specifications taken from Antonius.
