Focus SB’s expert design, manufacturing and projects management team is delighted the company’s premium electrical accessories are specified for London’s The Newman on Newman Street in Fitzrovia. Three years in the making, this is a unique flagship project from international hospitality management company Kinsfolk & Co.
The Newman appointed London-based Pernille Lind and Richy Almond of Lind + Almond, known for designing spaces with an understated worldly eclecticism, to lead on the design of the 81-bedroom hotel. Working closely with dedicated regional Focus SB Business Development Manager Mike Johnson and Paul Brackley, Founder & CEO of award-winning British hospitality brand Kinsfolk & Co, Lind + Almond had the flexibility to create bespoke solid brass bedhead panels finished in Chocolate Bronze, featuring contrasting Unlacquered Polished Brass round button dry contact retractive keypad switches for an aesthetically-pleasing and tactile KNX installation.
Bespoke Focus SB products specified included 4-gang and 5-gang round button dry contact retractive keypad switches with laser marking, vertical plates with a shaver socket and volume control (bathrooms) and multi-service bedhead panels finished in Chocolate Bronze with 1-gang 13A switched socket, 1x USB charger Type A&C, 1x 6G round button keypads with contrasting Unlacquered Polished Brass buttons.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Hotel Designs.
