What our Clients say
Adam D. Tihany, Tihany Design
“I’ve worked with Double Decker on several projects and I love their energy, their talent, their vision and their interpretation of a concept or programme you present to them. I’ve worked with many art consultants over the years, and Double Decker is my favourite company to work with. I only have great things to say about them.”
Katie McAlister, President of Cunard
“As we continue to extend the Cunard Line for future generations with the launch of Queen Anne, we are incredibly excited to announce that our newest ship will boast the largest curated art collection at sea, curated by Double Decker. More than 300 artists and designers have been involved in the project and 500 different framing methods have been used across the ship to display a contemporary collection of over 4,300 artworks and sculptures.
Tara Bernerd, Founder and Creative Director, Tara Bernerd & Partners
“Art has always played an integral part in any of our projects, it is that final layer that truly brings a project to life and enriches the storytelling in our design. It was a pleasure working with Double Decker at Rosewood Munich, who not only took inspiration from historic figures, but interspersed this with a more contemporary take and a charming touch of humour.”
Roland Duerr, Managing Director, Rosewood Munich
“Rosewood Munich was thrilled to have collaborated with Double Decker, who brought their unique curatorial and design expertise to the hotel. Their ability to create distinctive and elegant art pieces perfectly complemented our “A Sense of Place” philosophy and our commitment to offering a unique experience for our guests.”
Christoph Hoffman Founder 25hours Hotels
“Every 25hours Hotel project is unique, yet at its core, each shares the same commitment to experiential service and original spirit. Working with Double Decker on 25hours Dubai One Central was an inspiring journey, taking us as a team on an unexpected path. By immersing themselves in the thriving art scene of the Emirates, Double Decker infused a distinctive perspective, curating a vibrant contemporary collection for our first outpost in Dubai and working seamlessly with the 25hours team to achieve outstanding results.”
