Create a special vibrant atmosphere in a hotel room with the ‘Forms of nature’ light. This light was developed by Hilden & Diaz and inspired by Ernst Haeckel’s (1834-1919). This creation is elegant and it look like it is made of tree branches. When the light is turned on, you will find yourself in the middle of a forest. The shadows are cast on the walls in the form of branches and trees. An interesting way to bring light into a hotel room.
Finding a cheap hotel is not always easy, but with the suitcase ‘Hotello’ you can easily set up your own hotel room or workplace anywhere. The suitcase on wheels does not immediately look like a bedroom, but when you unpack the suitcase you transform a empty building in a hotel room. This flexible room can be placed in just any empty space. The suitcase contains a bed, desk with chair and a storage. The ‘Hotello’ is developed by Roberto de Luca and Antonio Scarponi for the Swiss company Daskonzept. The big question is who is going to facilitate space to unpack this ‘suitcase’.

Imagine, you are on a holiday and you want to eat a local dish. You can eat a meal at a restaurant, but you can also have a dinner at someone’s home… The global community EatWith invites people to dine in homes across the world. Users can offer their ‘kitchen’ on the website of EatWith as an alternative for the restaurants in the area. Travelers can have a cozy dinner at someone’s home, share stories, have an unique experience and meet new people. It is a similar concept as AirBnB. The question is to what extent providers on this website must meet requirements such as hygiene and so on.
Eating your spoon as well after dinner… could a chef get a better compliment? We have seen chocolate, cookie and peppermint versions but the ‘edible spoon’ from Triangle Tree is organic and a responsible replacement of a disposable plastic spoon. The spoon is composed of organic ingredients such as corn flour, eggs, milk, sugar, salt, herbs and spices. This spoon comes in three flavors: Plain, Spicy and Sweet. The Edible Spoon can be used to eat a variety of foods. It’s tasty, it’s healthy, it’s convenient, and it promotes a cleaner tomorrow. The spoon could be served alongside appetizers and meals at restaurants or at events such as festivals. Or serve this previously spotted edible teaspoon with a cup of tea.
The Glad Tent is a tent and a compost bag in one. So when you are done partying at the festival, you can leave the garbage in the tent where you spent the night. A brilliant way to be more environmentally friendly this festival season.
Coffee that really fits your taste, is hard to find. BeanGenius offers a service where you can discover high quality coffee beans sourced from independent coffee roasters from across the USA. Consumers can indicate their preferences in a coffee taste profile and BeanGenius will recommend which coffee fits the best. They will ship them three different freshly roasted bags of specialty coffee from independent roasters across the country. Consumers can try a monthly bag of coffee and tell BeanGenius how they liked them. The more you use it, the smarter BeanGenius gets in catering to their tastes and preferences.
Pay attention to the initiative of “arty napkins” at the “Kapellerput” conference hotel. Every year they choose a piece of art that touched them and have it printed on their linen napkins. They give it out as corporate gifts. The ‘arty napkins’ symbolizes what their conference hotel is about; hospitality and inspiration. The original piece is bought and one napkin is framed, the restaurant uses a disposable version. A true royal gesture. The napkins so far are made by the artists Marijn Moree, Saskia Heuer, Janne Hopman and Jolinde van Poppel. Do you want to read more examples of small gestures, read our last edition of ‘Royal hospitable gestures‘.
A new all-inclusive restaurant recently opened in Amsterdam. Restaurant View gives the all you can eat concept a special twist. Guests can prepare their dishes at the table, where literally a world of flavors passes by. The guests stay seated, because the plates (yellow for chicken, blue for fish, red for meat and green for vegetables) pass the tables on a moving conveyor belt. At their own table they can prepare the dishes on a grill. For € 34,50 guests can eat and drink (beer & wine)unlimited for two hours.
A ‘small gesture in hospitality’ made local. Like the “Ratilanne Riverside Resort” in Chiang Mai, Thailand did, they dress up their water bottles in local costumes. A very charming little way of presenting the local culture, who’s next or which hotel in The Netherlands serves their bottles in Dutch traditional costumes? Do you want to read more examples of small gestures, read our last edition of ‘Royal hospitable gestures‘.
Mama Sopa has developed soap products to support the projects of the famous Dutch water foundation SIMAVI. For each product sold, SIMAVI gives a hygiene training to a mother in India, to improve the health of their families and provides mothers with the knowledge they need to prevent diseases. The Dutch design packages are very appealing and designed by Studio Conn-Fetti. These playful soap products are great to use in hotels! It would be great if a hotel puts these soap products in the rooms, to contribute to charity.
