Luxury entrance hall: exceptional staging and unforgettable first impressions

In the world of luxury architecture—whether it involves heritage buildings or contemporary creations—every detail matters. The entrance hall, far from being a simple passageway, becomes the first stage of an unforgettable experience. Thoughtfully and uniquely designed, it embodies the soul of the space, blending high-end interior design, bespoke furniture, and emotion in perfect harmony. From the very first moment, it offers a truly sensory experience.

Crafted with precision and a relentless pursuit of excellence, this welcoming space becomes a true statement of intent. Elegance is not merely suggested—it is lived. The vestibule transforms into an immersive jewel box where light, materials, and volumes tell a singular visual story. It is within this exceptional framework that Ateliers Berger reveals its savoir-faire. Working closely with interior architects, they elevate this transitional space into a functional and aesthetic work of art.

The Entrance Hall: A First Scene, A First Thrill

From the moment the threshold is crossed, the tone is set. The entrance captures the very essence of the place—far more than a passage, it shapes the guest’s journey and leaves a lasting emotional imprint. It is the first step into the grandeur, prestige, and harmony that reside within your walls.

A Bold Visual Signature to Leave a Lasting Impression

Here, architecture and emotion are deeply entwined. Wood, marble, metals, or paper—materials come to life, and each furniture piece becomes an aesthetic statement. The lounge of the Hôtel du Castellet is a perfect illustration. There, a monumental mural in deep Mediterranean blue unfurls its poetic charm across the wall. A work of art by Martin Berger, it grounds each project in its territory, combining strength and subtlety. Whatever the style of your interior, his pieces are designed to integrate seamlessly into bespoke designs that harmonize with the story you wish to tell.

A Harmonious Blend of Aesthetics and Function

An exceptional entrance must inspire awe while offering a gentle welcome that puts visitors at ease. The balance between aesthetics and function transforms every detail into a thoughtful gesture. Circulation flows naturally, volumes breathe, and the ergonomics of luxury furnishings melt seamlessly into the space. This creates a refined atmosphere without sacrificing practicality. The entrance of Société Générale’s Paris headquarters perfectly embodies this vision. Dressed with a majestic 12-meter-high gilded wall, it elevates ceiling height to an act of grandeur, where every material detail invites admiration and wonder.

The Codes of a Luxury Hotel Lobby: Where Distinction Meets Emotion

In the refined realm of luxury hospitality, every component—every hue—is a promise. Furnishings, meticulously selected by the interior designer to match the venue’s style and support the narrative journey, define the reception and waiting areas. From the moment they arrive, guests are guided through a one-of-a-kind sensory journey. Here, a generous seat becomes a haven for quiet contemplation.

Bespoke Furniture: A Unique Signature for an Exceptional Entrance

Designing a memorable and elegant vestibule begins with choosing bespoke furniture. Every piece—from tables to lighting fixtures—must not only integrate into the architecture but also embody a distinctive and timeless vision. These elements become signatures, perfect reflections of the place’s identity.

Noble materials play a fundamental role in crafting an ambiance where elegance and sophistication are fully expressed. Among them:

• Wood, symbolizing warmth and durability

• Marble, for its pure and timeless elegance

• Metal, introducing a modern and luminous touch

• Paper, transformed into art through the craftsmanship of Ateliers Berger, notably using the French Marquetry technique, offering movement and lightness

One standout example is the Amazonia console, created for a prestigious Parisian hotel. Its deep green Reed texture evokes nature while suggesting urban refinement. This sculptural piece, a true masterpiece by KOSTIA in collaboration with Ateliers Berger, captures the light and achieves a natural synergy between bronze and the refined textures of paper marquetry. It embodies a discreet yet distinctive elegance—a perfect fusion of nature’s beauty and contemporary aesthetic.
