Smoulder is a design from Creative Matters’ soft wallcovering collection, Tellurian. Soft wallcoverings are well positioned to add dramatic visual interest and intriguing texture to a space, as well as warmth and sound absorption. Ideal for guestrooms and elevator lobbies, the coverings are made via a process of needle-felting, embellished by interlocking fibres, which permit the creation of softer lines associated with watercolour effects and painterly designs. The fibres are punched together with a needle by hand and then finished by machine and, in the Smoulder design, are then layered to create swirling, smoky lines with a translucent quality. www.creativemattersinc.com
Atelier Foglizzo’s primary mission is to develop contemporary interpretations of leather, meeting demand for creations that embody quality, creativity and authenticity. Expertly-crafted leather is more than simply a material, rather it is a process with a long tradition of Italian craftsmanship behind it. As such, each creation from Atelier Foglizzo pays tribute to a deep passion for leather, as well as a keen attention to detail. The brand’s mastery in working with the material leads to products that can add a unique and functional touch to hospitality interiors, with a wide range of finishes ensuring maximised customisation to tailor to clients’ individual needs. www.foglizzo.com

Founded over 30 years ago by Alma Small, Mandarin Stone is a family-run business based in the rolling hills of Monmouthshire, Wales. Offering a wide collection of marble, limestone, porcelain, ceramic and patterned tiles, the brand is able to cater to a broad range of hospitality interiors and design schemes. For instance, Mandarin Stone supplies practical, stylish wood-effect porcelain tiles, and recently introduced the option of panelled or slated woodeffect tiles – a new alternative to typical timber panelling. Adding both warmth and texture, the tiles are particularly valuable when creating an organic feel in a contemporary bathroom space. www.mandarinstone.com
