quotel by mode:lina

One piece of plywood furniture inside this Polish apartment encompasses a bed, bookshelf, nightstand and wardrobe. The hotel apartment in Poznań was designed by architects mode:lina and provides temporary accommodation throughout the year for trade fair visitors. Named Quotel, a combination of the words quote and hotel, the apartment has different messages written on the walls of each room. The architects have furnished the whole apartment using combinations of furniture from Ikea: the challenge was to use easily replaceable parts and create a space that definitely stands out among other similar offers on the market.
