Design upgrade: furnishing hotel rooms in style with the space-saving Fläpps system by AMBIVALENZ

Designing hotel spaces is usually about creating maximum comfort on a minimal footprint. Guests should feel at home in their temporary quarters – yet sleeping, living and working often have to share just a few square metres. When space is tight and rooms need to serve several functions, clever, compact furnishing solutions are called for. Especially in smaller hotel rooms, the elegant, functional Fläpps furniture by Berlin label AMBIVALENZ plays to its transformative strengths.

AMBIVALENZ specialises in flexible, space-saving furniture design. The clean-lined, minimalist Fläpps system consists of a series of self-contained modules. Shelf, secretary desk, dining table, vanity mirror, shoe rack or coat rack – every Fläpps piece has two faces: folded open, it delivers real comfort and impressive functionality; folded shut, it disappears flat and unobtrusively against the wall. Architects and interior designers particularly value the planning freedom: Fläpps modules work on their own or combined at will, allowing interiors tailored precisely to each project and its spatial conditions.

Furnishing even the smallest hotel rooms in style 

No room for a bedside table or a bulky desk? No problem. The clever folding furniture by AMBIVALENZ is so slim that it furnishes even the smallest hotel rooms in style. With the Fläpps system, the smallest corner of a room becomes a comfortable workplace or a cosy lounge in no time. Thanks to the purist design – birch plywood with lacquered, velvety surfaces – Fläpps furniture fits any design concept and combines just as well with classic interiors as with contemporary design.

Many planners, architects and hotel designers have already seen the benefits of the Fläpps system for themselves. Properties such as the Moxy Hotels in Chelsea and at Times Square in New York, the Hôtel Hor Europe and Hôtel HOR Les Lumières in Paris, the Hotel Rossi in Berlin and the Posthotel Alexander Herrmann in Wirsberg are furnished with AMBIVALENZ folding furniture.

The real strengths of the Fläpps system often only show in daily use. Tables, shelves and clothes rails that fold away in seconds when not in use give guests more freedom of movement in their rooms – and make housekeeping considerably easier, because folded furniture doesn’t get in the way of cleaning. Fläpps by AMBIVALENZ makes small hotel rooms feel big.
