Custom Furniture and Interior Solutions for Hotel Public Areas

Custom furniture and interior solutions for hotel public areas require precise timing, advanced material coordination, and uncompromising quality standards. The Scandic Södra Kajen project is a strong example of how complex design concepts can be successfully delivered in a high-traffic hospitality environment where durability, safety, and aesthetics must work together seamlessly.

This project focused on furnishing and constructing public areas of the hotel, where every detail is exposed to intensive daily use. The main challenges were tight project timelines and the integration of a wide range of materials into one cohesive interior solution.

Scandic Södra Kajen is a contemporary hotel project with expressive interior concepts and multifunctional public spaces. These areas serve guests continuously, making material quality and construction reliability critical from day one.

Our task was to manufacture and install custom-built interior elements for hotel public areas, ensuring visual impact while meeting strict functional and durability requirements typical for large hospitality projects.

KEY Points

Coordinated production under strict deadlines

Hotel projects are highly schedule-driven, with multiple trades working in parallel and limited flexibility for delays. In the Scandic Södra Kajen project, timing was one of the most critical challenges.
Each element had to be manufactured, delivered, and installed according to a precisely coordinated schedule. This required detailed production planning, clear communication between teams, and accurate documentation to avoid on-site adjustments that could impact timelines.
Delivering on time was essential not only for construction progress, but also for the hotel’s planned opening and operational readiness.

Wide range of materials in one project

One of the defining features of this project was the complex combination of materials used throughout the public areas. The interior solutions incorporated:
– Metal and sheet metal elements
– Glass components
– Panel materials and wood
– Thermo-treated wood
– Stone and ceramic tiles
– Upholstery fabrics
– Decorative chains as design elements
Integrating this variety of materials required deep technical understanding and precise detailing to ensure compatibility, structural stability, and long-term performance.

Green marine container built during installation

One of the most distinctive elements in the Scandic Södra Kajen project was a green marine container-inspired structure. Rather than being delivered as a single prefabricated unit, it was created from multiple individual components and fully assembled on site during installation.
This approach allowed us to:
– Adapt the structure to site-specific constraints
– Manage transportation limitations
– Ensure precise alignment with surrounding interior elements
Such solutions require exact production drawings and installation planning, as every component must fit perfectly during assembly.

Materials and construction for public use

In hotel public areas, quality is not optional—it is a necessity. All materials and constructions must withstand constant use, cleaning, and physical impact while maintaining their appearance over time.
For this project, special attention was paid to:
– Material resistance and surface durability
– Structural stability of all built elements
– Safe detailing suitable for public environments
– Long-term maintenance considerations
High-quality execution ensures not only visual consistency but also reduced operational risk for the hotel operator.
