tangerine win IDEA award for Snoozebox hotel interior design
tangerine’s hotel interior design for Snoozebox wins Bronze at the one of the world’s most prestigious design competitions, the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA)’s 2015 International Design Excellence Awards (IDEA).
Snoozebox is the portable hotel that delivers on-site event & festival accommodation; putting guests close to the action. In order to attract a range of customers the team developed a flexible room that could offer an exceptional guest experience for a variety of accommodation uses.
Bespoke six room trailers, which transform externally and internally, deliver a day room and 7 different en suite sleeping options. Tessellation of space and form around custom folding mechanisms maximises guest space and lets rooms compact by 50% for transport. Custom furniture & textiles mixed with specified flooring and walls create a premium feel. A 100-room hotel can be setup in 24hrs.
The project was chosen for a Bronze award among more than 1,700 entries from around the world—as IDEA marks its 35th year and IDSA celebrates its 50th anniversary. The winners can be viewed here.
Matt Round, tangerine’s Creative Director who led the project says, “We have worked closely with Snoozebox to create a sophisticated and extraordinarily flexible room, which now positions Snoozebox with the opportunity to lead in their market with this new product.”
