Our studio had the pleasure of shaping the complete artwork program for the Renaissance Schaumburg renovation, working closely with the Gettys team to create one-of-a-kind pieces that respond to the project’s narrative and palette.

In the guest rooms and suites, we introduced layered artworks, including more than 30,000 hand-painted acrylic decals that flow across walls and ceilings—subtle reliefs that catch the light and unfold into shifting patterns. We also developed over 40 hand-torn and painted paper triptychs, each inlaid on limewash backings and finished in a custom palette, along with more than 400 custom framed prints designed for the washrooms.

In the signature suites, sculptural works bring scale and presence. Canopies of hand-formed metal fins suspended from the bedroom ceilings evoke a sense of lightness and motion. Hand-turned wood and brass sculptural columns rise floor to ceiling within the niches, bringing warmth and tactility to the space, while a dimensional installation of vertical forms in a painterly custom palette cascades across the dining wall, transitioning from deep browns to warm ambers and soft neutrals. Hand-crafted ceramic petals introduce another layer of detail, their irregular forms casting shifting shadows across custom panels. Together, these works celebrate materiality, craftsmanship, and scale, and reference the mid-century modern sensibility that defines the property’s interiors, transforming the hotel into a layered and memorable guest experience.
