rawing to a close a series of international events, Sleeperx10 partnered with Sleep, the hotel design exhibition, to host an official afterparty. The ticket-only gathering was held at the Rumpus Room of Mondrian London at Sea Containers, Tom Dixon’s inaugural hotel project which opened its doors in 2014. A handpicked guest list of the most influential people in hotel design, development and architecture sipped cocktails on London’s South Bank while enjoying views of the
River Thames and London beyond. The event also allowed industry names to network and socialise following a busy day at the Sleep exhibition and its associated conference. The Sleeperx10 celebration finale concludes a series of events in various locations including London, Manchester, New York and Singapore, marking Sleeper’s tenth anniversary, a magazine and website redesign, and expansion of the European Hotel Design Awards into Asia.
