nhow is an international hotel chain belonging to NH Hotel Group based on a disruptive concept in which each hotel is in itself a unique work of Art, with an architecture and interior design with the utmost attention to detail combined with an innovative design based on large-scale murals that give its spaces an atmosphere in which creativity and inspiration flow on every wall.
nhow Amsterdam Rai Hotel
nhow Amsterdam Rai is a 4-star hotel designed by renowned architect Reinier de Graaf, located next to the Rai Convention Centre in Amsterdam.
As a collaborator of the architectural firm GLG Architects, in charge of the interior design, I created the headboards for the 650 rooms of the hotel, the theming of which is inspired by the cardinal point towards which they face (East, South, North, South West, South East and North West) and the culture associated with it.

Large art composition for lobby floor
In this project, I have taken the art down to the ground, literally. I created a Pop Art composition covering the floor that can be visually divided into three layers, each telling its own story and all together forming a cohesive and vibrant visual narrative:
The first layer, the deepest, represents a sea in waves, inspired by the traditional Japanese pictorial style. This layer establishes a fluid and dynamic base on which the rest of the composition is built.
The second layer, located in the middle zone, is a tapestry of cultural elements. Here, the styles and symbols of Japanese, Mexican and African cultures intertwine and blend. A series of African dishes stand out, establishing a visual link with those on another floor of the hotel, creating thematic continuity.
The third layer brings an element of surprise and joy. Giant Japanese carp leap above the rest of the elements, bringing a sense of movement and depth to the composition. These joyful and playful creatures seem to leap straight from the surface, inviting viewers to join in their dance.
