Eva’s Vienna Sneak Peek

THE CORRIDORS

Carpet: “When the elevator doors open, you get a surprise.”

Wall color: “We used this pinkish tone inspired by Austrian artist Franz West. We incorporated it in small details throughout the hotel to unify the many spaces.”

Reflective ceiling: “Max Brown is all about the quirky design details, like the corridors’ reflective ceilings.”

THE GUEST ROOMS

Green wall: “We chose this textured green wallpaper because we wanted the whole look and feel to be simple, relaxing and peaceful.”

Room art: “All of the hotel’s art is by local artists, and the two featured here are by Deborah Sengl and Drago Persic. You’ll notice their wall placement is really casual; we didn’t want anything to be rigid. They’ll be placed in colourful frames.”

Yellow bedspread: “We wanted to add that Max Brown vibrancy, and we didn’t want anything to be too colour-coordinated.”

Bedframe: “The bed frame is 100% recyclable. The colour was specially chosen to match the pink of the corridor.”

Record player/tea kettle: “We added the same details to every room, like the Crosley record player, the tea set and telephone, but they’re different colours in each room. Every room is unique.”

Black shelves: “We didn’t just want to take up space in this city as a hotel, we wanted to work with the local community. We sourced this piece from Volta, a furniture shop in the neighbourhood.”

THE ATELIERS

Brick walls: “When we were renovating some of the Ateliers, the hotel’s meeting spaces, we chipped away a bit of the white plasterboard that covered the walls and found this old brick. It’s like a hidden pearl. We decided to leave it exposed in the design.”

THE MURAL

“This is a rendering of the mural by Käthe Schönle and Sebastian Schager that will go on the building’s facade.”

See you in Vienna!
