The Harmony Suite


Silent Gliss and Studio Moren will debut The Harmony Suite at HIX 2025 – a guestroom concept exploring hospitality as a space for calm, individuality, and cultural continuity. Designed to reflect this year’s theme, Culture Clash, the suite transforms contrast into connection – a place where tactile craftsmanship meets intelligent control, and heritage evolves through innovation.

The installation blends traditional materials with advanced automation to create a balanced, sensory environment. Soft, neutral fabrics, grass-cloth wallcoverings, and warm timber tones are accented with subtle metallics, achieving a sense of quiet luxury and understated opulence. Lighting by Chelsom enhances the materiality, casting soft highlights across layered surfaces to reveal the richness of natural textures, while leather detailing introduces warmth and authenticity.

Behind its serene aesthetic lies a sophisticated network of integrated systems. The experience is orchestrated through Bodhi’s building management platform, which unites Silent Gliss smart shading, Rako interface switches, and Sonos sound into pre-set scenes that shift seamlessly between moods. Guests can explore the full spectrum of the space – from energising daylight to tranquil evening – as lighting, sound, and shading move in harmony.

The Harmony Suite
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
"The Harmony Suite celebrates design that feels human and emotionally engaging – it’s about more than aesthetics. We’ve created a guestroom that empowers autonomy while honouring craft and cultural continuity."
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
"This installation demonstrates the invisible thread between design and functionality – how functional products, such as window shading, provide guest comfort while forming an integral part of interior design. Smart technology integrated throughout a concept contributes to the overall guest experience."
Finishes for the Harmony Suite Scheme

Each collaborator brings a vital voice to the composition: Contract Chair Co. and Hypnos provide comfort and craftsmanship; Romo Group, Philip Jeffries, Ege Carpets, Samuel & Sons, and Alma Leather define the tactile and decorative language; Forest Contracts, Capital Crispin, Mega Glass, Heritage Brass by M. Marcus, G F Holdings, Chelsom, Savage Lighting, Salto, Sonos, Bodhi, Rako, Black Nova and Lualdi contribute precision detailing, hardware, and architectural integrity. Together, they create a space that feels global yet grounded, handmade yet high-tech.

The Harmony Suite also connects to a wider HIX programme, “Collide to Create,” a series of talks curated by Studio Skov. This dialogue-driven platform examines how cultural collision sparks creativity, with The Harmony Suite acting as the physical expression of these ideas. The opening panel, “Newtro Effect,” explores this creative tension –where nostalgia meets innovation – and how the clash of eras can become a catalyst for connection and meaning. In a time when technology accelerates us toward artificial realities, people are reaching back toward the human, the heritage, and the authentic. Hospitality stands at this point of collision: a bridge between legacy and progress, preserving heritage while reimagining it for the modern age. The second panel, “Global Voices & Local Stories,” hosted by ArtLink Founder & Creative Director Tal Danai, explores how cross-cultural collaboration shapes art in hospitality. The discussion highlights how artists and designers can honour local traditions while drawing on their own cultural perspectives to create immersive experiences that engage and inspire. Through its integration of tactile craft and smart control, The Harmony Suite embodies this philosophy: preserving and evolving rather than erasing and replacing. It stands as both installation and invitation – a space that celebrates harmony born from contrast, and a reminder that design’s future is strongest when it honours where we’ve come from.

Collide to Create by STUDIO SKOV


Building on the 2025 HIX theme, Culture Clash, this year’s STUDIO SKOV programme — Collide to Create — explores the positive synergies, innovations, and creative outcomes born from cultural collisions framed through the lens of hospitality brand and experience design.

Hosted within the Silent Gliss showroom, Collide to Create will unfold through a series of intimate talks and an immersive installation, inviting guests into the ethereal, sensory, and physical worlds where hospitality and culture collide.

Join STUDIO SKOV, Studio Moren, ArtLink, and Silent Gliss in collaboration and conversation with leading industry and creative voices — including Philippa Wagner (People, Places, Spaces), Clare Lusher (Sloane Club), Tal Danai (ArtLink), and more — as they explore how the collision of people, time and culture continues to shape the future of hospitality.

    As the worlds of past and future collide, a new cultural movement is reshaping how we define “real.”

    In the first part of the Collide to Create series by STUDIO SKOV, the Newtro Effect explores this creative tension, where nostalgia meets innovation, and how the clash of eras can become a catalyst for connection and meaning. In a time when technology is accelerating us towards artificial realities, people are reaching back toward the human, the heritage and the authentic. Hospitality stands at this point of collision: a bridge between legacy and progress, preserving heritage while reimagining it for the modern age.

    Join our speakers as they uncover how brands and spaces can preserve and evolve — carrying forward the stories, craft, and cultural DNA of the past while shaping emotionally resonant experiences for future generations. From reimagined legacy to new expressions of cultural continuity, this session delves into how time itself can shape culture and how, through hospitality, the worlds of yesterday and tomorrow can collide to create something meaningful and timeless.
