Travel News: Presenting Bergman Design House
Bergman Design House has an enviable portfolio of international projects at some of the most exclusive addresses. Co-founded in 2017 by Marie Soliman and Albin Berglund, the firm is regarded internationally as leading creative movers and shakers in the industry. With over 25 years of combined experience, Marie and Albin, a dynamic husband and wife duo, have created a luxury design studio which specialises in the hotel and travel, commercial, residential and superyacht industries.
Bergman Design House has a wide range of inspiring projects opening in 2022 and beyond. These include The Lund Collection, a new luxurious cottage in the Cotswolds for the ultimate private UK escape opening in February 2022. Marie is the mastermind behind all design aspects of the new London-based The Other House Hotel, a private members hotel which opens in South Kensington in April 2022 with another Covent Garden property in the pipeline. Bergman Design House designed BXR, the high-end boxing gym located in London’s Marylebone along with Sweat by BXR in Doha, Qatar. Next up is BXR in Bishops Gate London, which is scheduled to launch in February 2022 and will be London’s highest gym. Bergman Design House is also revolutionising the bar scene in Vancouver, Canada. After successfully designing and creating Laowai, a popular speakeasy in the city’s China Town, a second location is now in the works. Specialising in floating hotels and private superyachts, Njord by Bergman Design House is a separate component of this luxury design studio with 7-star projects underway.
“The idea behind Bergman Design House was to break the mould and we are doing that across our portfolio. When you enter one of our hotels, bars, or restaurants, we want you to feel you are entering a magical world. There is an element of fantasy there and you can be whoever you wish to be!” commented Marie Soliman, Founder and Creative Director of Bergman Design House.
Bergman Design House Projects launching in Q1 2022:
The Lund Collection is Marie and Albin’s new private cottage in the Cotswolds near Chipping Norton and Great Tew. This three-bedroom oasis of calm is exquisitely decorated by Marie and Albin featuring personally chosen original art pieces. The Lund Collection is Bergman Design House’s foray into a new line of luxury individual accommodations in the UK. Creating and designing The Lund Collection has been a passion project for Marie and Albin, and they hope it will be a sanctuary for future guests seeking zen and an escape in the countryside.
“We fell in love with this cottage and the absolutely stunning countryside. It is intended to be a sanctuary for all who visit. We want our guests to come here and truly switch off, connect with nature and feel at home,” commented Marie Soliman.
Marie and Albin have carefully curated welcome baskets with a fully stocked bar so guests can arrive and immediately relax while feeling welcome. Ideal for couples, solo travellers and small family groups, The Lund Collection is Bergman Design House’s first taste of their own branded accommodations.
The Other House Hotel is a new private members hotel launching in April 2022 in London’s South Kensington by Naomi Heaton and designed by Marie Soliman of Bergman Design House. A second location in Covent Garden is also underway. The Other House will establish a new sector of Residents’ Clubs blurring the lines between hotels, serviced apartments and private rentals.
“Our aim was to develop something different and powerful yet comfortable and relaxing” says Soliman. The aim is to let guests feel like a resident when they are in town and give them experiences to remember. In addition to spacious and comfortable rooms, members will enjoy an all-day dining bistro, a destination bar and a glamorous spa.
