Description
Established in 1994, DESIGNWILKES is a design studio redefining modern luxury hospitality by converging heritage with contemporary vision. Our global work, spanning hotels, residences, and restaurants, begins with a reverence for placemaking through collaboration with indigenous artisans and reinterpreting traditional designs with a modern twist.
We design spaces that balance function with emotional resonance—where each curve of a banquette and every interplay of light through jali screens invites guests to linger. This philosophy guides our sensitive transformations of icons like The Taj Mahal Palace Mumbai and our repeated collaborations with Mandarin Oriental properties across Asia.
Our transformative projects, from the $65 million renewal of Mandarin Oriental Bangkok to the $100 million metamorphosis of Mandarin Oriental Singapore, demonstrate this approach. At Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve in Bali, we translated local artistry into a language of global sophistication that has become a favourite among discerning travellers.
At the Oberoi Rajvilas and Udaivilas, traditional craft techniques find harmonious expression within modern comforts. The same principle guides the meticulously weighted tableware at Leela Palace Chennai and Mandarin Oriental Jumeira, Dubai's interplay of light and carved geometries, each element crafted to evolve gracefully over time.
Recent recognitions include the 2024 Muse Awards Gold Winner and the LIV Hospitality Design Awards. While current commissions continue our exploration of a sense of place, our commitment remains in creating interiors that don’t just impress, but also endure in memory.
