Snoozebox and Sleep collaborate
Sleep, Europe’s leading hotel design and development event, and Snoozebox, the portable hotel company, have announced a collaboration which will give design companies and individuals the chance to put their names in front of the decision makers of the international hotel industry.
The opportunity comes in the form of a competition, and challenges designers to create a concept for a new Snoozebox guestroom, where flexibility is key. Within the footprint of an ISO steel shipping container, the en suite accommodation must equally lend itself to work, rest and play. The winning concept will then be built and revealed at Sleep in London this November. The Snoozebox competition is open to all design companies and designers based in the UK and Europe and involves the design of a floorplan, mood board and a visual.
Kali Nicholson, Brand Director of Sleep, states: “Every year, we reach out to more and to different groups of people in our industry. We see the Snoozebox competition as offering a way for aspiring hotel designers to make their mark without an outlay beyond the power of their imaginations.” She continues: “In this way, it will perfectly complement our very ambitious and eagerly followed Sleep Set competition where companies are asked to design and build out a much more conceptual space.” The deadline for entries is 11 September and the winner will be announced on 21 September.
Looking for the brightest new talent in hotel design, the judging panel will include the organisers of Sleep, directors from Snoozebox, and Tangerine, the design company which created the first Snoozebox interiors in 2011. The winner will have the benefit of working with Snoozebox and finding out first-hand what it takes to convert a great concept into reality, as well as attending Sleep as a VIP guest. Sleep will take place on 24–25 November at the Business Design Centre in Islington, London.
