Bompas & Parr creates "world's first" vegan hotel suite
Food design studio Bompas & Parr has created the "world's first" vegan guest suite inside a London hotel, omitting the use of leather, wool and feathers throughout its interiors.
Decked out exclusively in plant-based materials, the guest suite at the Hilton has been created by Bompas & Parr in a bid to show that veganism is "no longer only a dining trend, but can also influence a wider lifestyle choice".
The design studio joins a wider pool of designers making vegan-friendly products that go beyond food? Brooklyn studio Crème recently used home-grown vegetables to create sustainable coffee cups, while Sebastian Cox employed mushroom mycelium to produce suede-like home furnishings.
The suite is set within Hilton London Bankside, just a short distance from Southwark tube station, and comprises of a bedroom, lounge area, and sizeable bathroom.
A majority of surfaces have been upholstered in Piñatex, a leather-alternative fabric originally developed by company Ananas Anam, which is made from cellulose fibres found in waste pineapple leaves. It covers the room's slate-grey seating, bright red scatter cushions, and flower-embroidered headboard designed by artist Emily Potter.
The use of the material is also intended to serve as a subtle nod to local London history, as when pineapples first arrived in the capital they were sold in Borough market, which is just a few minutes walk from the hotel.
Typical feather stuffing in pillows has been traded...
