Nowadays the possibility of producing small-scale, industrial-quality design and the promotion of those products without relying on middle-men anywhere in the world, makes it possible for independent craftsmen and designers to be increasingly recognised, bringing their unique vision to a world saturated with technology, and one where perhaps unsurprising playfulness, fun and intuition are more neccesary than ever before.

We present Hotel Oasis, a project designed by Lafede Studiostore, architect and curator in collaboration with David Méndez Alonso, artist and creative. A collection of objects inspired by a spiritual journey where the abstract, the real and world of dreams come together through the use of symbols.

    The first collection is dedicated to the 4 compass points and 4 elements represented by the eye, the hand, the leaf and the triangle. Hybrid designs somewhere between sculpture, furniture and good luck charms, offering functionality as well as a mystical attitude in the face of life’s adventure. Described as 7 "happy" pieces of furniture because of their practical nature, their meaning and their personal engagement in the way they are used.

    The collection includes; Silla Paz (Peace Chair), that hugs and comforts the sitter; Mesita Suerte (Luck Table), that watches over you; Pared Fantasía (Fantasy Wall), which creates spaces where there is no space; the Tótem Éxtasis (Ecstasy Totem), a good luck charm based on the 4 elements; Mesa Actidud (Attitude Table), the best solution for an inspirational day's work; the Estación Alegría (Joyous Station) that connects, orders and supports; Mano Luz (Hand and Light) that lights the way!
