In 2015, design studio The Invisible Party and W Hotel joined forces to design cushions for the rooms of the W Hotel in Amsterdam. The cushions, executed in colours that differ for each room, give a cheerful picture of the personal trinkets that can be found in the windows of houses in Amsterdam.
Project
In 2015, the five-star W Hotel opened its doors in the heart of the Dutch capital. Set in the city’s former Telephone Exchange dating from 1903, the high-end hotel is known for its hip take on design. The Invisible Party developed custom textiles for the rooms and suites.
The Invisible Party is an Amsterdam-based branding and interior design agency. It was founded by Vivian van Schagen (1978) who graduated from Design Academy Eindhoven and has over 15 years of experience in the field of brand design. Clients include other W Hotels in Europe and Asia, The Student Hotel in Maastricht, Marina Bay Sands, Hema, Nike and De Bijenkorf.
Pot (1975) graduated from the Design Academy Eindhoven in 1998. In 2002, he founded Studio Bertjan Pot. Material research is the starting point of all his projects. The outcome is usually an interior product that displays his fascination for techniques, structures, patterns and colours. Pot’s work can be found in the collections of the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, MoMa in New York, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, Museum Boijmans van Beuningen in Rotterdam and the TextielMuseum. His designs have won multiple awards, including the ‘Dutch Design Prize’ in 2007 and the ‘Interior Innovation Prize’ in 2012.
