The Crazy Bear Hotel, known for its eclectic and luxurious interiors, sought to elevate the design of its doors by incorporating bespoke Louis-style door furniture. Our team was engaged to specify, source, and supply high-end door handles and back plates that reflected the grandeur and ornate elegance of the Louis-era style, aligning with the hotel’s unique aesthetic.
The Crazy Bear Hotel’s design team required door furniture that exuded the opulence and intricacy of 18th-century French Louis-style interiors. The door handles and back plates needed to embody the ornate carvings, scrollwork, and regal flair characteristic of the Louis XV and Louis XVI periods. Additionally, the materials had to meet the durability standards of a high-traffic hospitality environment while preserving the antique look.
One of the key challenges was ensuring that the Louis-style door furniture would not only match the decorative opulence of the hotel’s interiors but also function effectively in a modern hospitality setting. The pieces needed to strike the right balance between aesthetic authenticity and everyday practicality.
To meet the client’s specifications, we carefully sourced materials that offered both beauty and strength. The door handles and back plates were crafted from solid brass to ensure longevity, and finished in an antique patina to give them an authentic aged appearance. Our team worked closely with artisans who specialize in historical reproductions to ensure that every detail, from the intricate floral patterns to the polished finishes, reflected the elegance of the Louis style.
The Louis-style door furniture became a standout feature within The Crazy Bear Hotel’s interior design. Each handle and back plate added a sense of grandeur and historic charm, perfectly complementing the hotel’s eclectic and luxurious atmosphere. The combination of form, function, and style ensured that the door furniture not only enhanced the aesthetic appeal of the space but also offered the durability required in a high-end hospitality environment. The hotel’s management was thrilled with the result, noting the door furniture as a key highlight in their overall renovation.
The specification and sourcing process took two months, as we collaborated with both the design team at The Crazy Bear Hotel and specialist suppliers to ensure the highest standards of craftsmanship. The final supply was delivered and installed across all the hotel’s guest rooms and select common areas, aligning with the schedule of an ongoing renovation.
