The Design

About Wolo Design de Interiores de Hotel

O Wolo é um hotel situado em Kuala Lumpur, na Malásia. O design de interiores reflete a cultura malaia e os valores da marca Wolo de forma contemporânea e ousada. A história de Kuala Lumpur é um tema central. O balcão da recepção e o grande puxador da entrada são feitos à mão e acabados com peltre personalizado, evocando a longa tradição de produção de peltre na cidade. A topografia em camadas dos campos de mineração locais é utilizada como padrão para o carpete do corredor, para as luminárias pendentes do teto e para os espelhos dos quartos. Uma parede de destaque no lobby remete ao significado do nome da cidade: confluência lamacenta.

Unique Properties: The most uniques feature in this design is that the project reflect Malaysian culture as well as WOLO brand value in a contemporary, creative and bold way. An enormous amount of thought, consideration, attention to details has gone into every aspect of the project. There are so much to be shared and one of them is Kuala Lumpur long and glorious history of pewter products. The hotel reception counter and entrance grand handle is handmade and finished with custom pewter.

Design Challenge: The hardest part of this design activity apart from its deadline is transforming Kuala Lumpur’s “DNA” into the project. For example, Kuala Lumpur has long mining history and hence topography layered pattern of mining field is incorporated into steel hence, corridor carpet, ceiling pendant light and the hotel room mirror. It is noteworthy that one of the key features of interior design is the “Kuala Lumpur Wall” displaying in lobby where Lumpur means “mud” in Malaysia national language and coupled with Kuala it means “muddy confluence”. The design and installation of the wall is certainly challenging and watching the result is fulfilling.
Inspiration: As a Malaysian designer who is born and bred in Kuala Lumpur, this project is inspired by “Kuala Lumpur”. With the great enthusiasm to make WOLO hotel a true Malaysian brand, Kuala Lumpur’s “DNA” has been incorporated into the design in such a way that history, cultures and stories of Kuala Lumpur are reflected in many aspects in WOLO hotel.
Project Duration: The project started in December 2018 and finished in october 2019 #the project is located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
