Words: <\/span>Interior Design Staff<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Shoptalk is our roundup where we ask industry insiders topical questions seeking insight into the design zeitgeist. This time, we asked design leaders at HBA International, CHIL Interior Design, Hart Howerton, TVS and The Gettys Group Companies, respected firms hailing from across the U.S. and Canada:\u00a0What are some current practice issues in hospitality?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe\u2019re maneuvering through an era of economic uncertainty. Client fees persistently remain stagnant or have even decreased. Simultaneously, we grapple with tight deadlines for design deliverables, often conflicting with our clients\u2019 financial projections. Despite leveraging technological tools for furniture, fixtures, and equipment management, the human element continues to introduce a significant margin of error into our data.\u201d \u2014Mrinal Suri, HBA International<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n \u201cLonger lead times and rising costs on all products, plus fluctuations in the economy leading to currency conversion changes.\u201d \u2014Paul Morissette, CHIL Interior Design<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Projects<\/p> Warm brutalism may sound like a contradiction in terms, but it aptly describes the interiors of the 24-story, 360-key Jay hotel by AvroKO.<\/p><\/div><\/li> DesignWire<\/p> At a recent event at the New York Design Center, Interior Design editor in chief Cindy Allen shared these must-read design trends. <\/p><\/div><\/li> Projects<\/p> Atelier du Pont employs abundant local stone to transform a late 19th\u2013century Spanish farmhouse on Menorca into the Son Blanc inn natural wonder.<\/p><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n \u201cDomestic production of materials and products is still a struggle in some areas, which is disrupting leads times and project timelines. Financing in general is a big struggle right now.\u201d \u2014Barbara Best-Santos, Hart Howerton<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe\u2019re hoping A.I. can help in streamlining design elements that have duplication or repetitiveness, such as hotel or residential units.\u201d \u2014Nicole Smith, TVS<\/a><\/em> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n \u201cOne of the biggest practice issues in hospitality is evolv\u00ading and enhancing culture. The pan\u00addemic changed how we work, where we work, how frequently we travel, and many of the expectations from the company, our clients, and our team. As we refine what that is, we\u2019re recon\u00adsidering every aspect of what it\u2019s like to work with us (as a client and as a team member) through every phase of a project.\u201d \u2014Ron Swidler, The Gettys Group Companies<\/a><\/em> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n5 Design Experts Share Challenges Facing the Hospitality Sector<\/h1>\n\n\n
