Bespoke Decorative Glass at The Peninsula Hotel, London

Bespoke Decorative Glass at The Peninsula Hotel, London

The heart of London offers a splendid example of craftsmanship and design for those with a penchant for luxury and bespoke artistry. The newly reconstructed Peninsula Hotel, situated on the prestigious Hyde Park Corner, presents an architectural masterpiece enriched by the decorative expertise of Daedalian Glass Studios.

A Glimpse into Artistic Collaboration

Partnering with Ateliers De France, Daedalian Glass Studios embarked on an ambitious journey to redefine the aesthetic boundaries of the hotel. They were tasked with creating floor-to-ceiling, hand-silvered and textured decorative glass panels throughout the hotel’s entrance, lobby, and retail colonnade areas. Such an undertaking promised not only to enhance the visual allure of the space but to offer guests a genuinely immersive experience in luxury.

Crafting with Precision and Innovation

The meticulous journey began with a state-of-the-art 3D laser survey. Utilising LIDAR technology, a precise and detailed digital model of the hotel was created. This phase laid the foundation for a flawless design process, ensuring every detail was accounted for before bringing design to reality.

The team then crafted a full-scale mock-up within Daedalian Glass Studios' gallery. This allowed the client to assess and approve the intricate specifications of the design before proceeding to full-scale production. This step was crucial in aligning the vision with reality, ensuring satisfaction from the combined teams and the esteemed client.

Transforming Spaces Through Décor

The lobby of the Peninsula Hotel is where intricacy meets elegance. Here, 4mm and 6mm low iron toughened, textured and hand-silvered glass panels harmonise with antique brass frameworks. The result is a seamless blend with the hand-painted de Gournay wallpaper, creating an atmosphere that speaks of both opulence and artistry.

In the retail colonnade, the application of low iron toughened and hand-silvered glass panels, laminated and elegantly framed with antique brass, crafts a sophisticated ambiance. This bespoke glasswork does more than decorate—it enhances the retail experience, inviting patrons into a world where art meets commercial sophistication. These panels represent the pinnacle of artful design and functional beauty, seamlessly merging style with purpose.
