How to Commission a Textile Artist for Hospitality Projects
Commissioning custom textile art for a hospitality project is different from buying a piece off the wall. There are timelines to coordinate, specifications to align, and a final result that needs to work architecturally — not just aesthetically. Here is what the process looks like when you work with me.
Two paths, one starting point
Every commission begins the same way: with an understanding of your space. But from there, you have two options depending on your project timeline and brief.
Working from my existing portfolio is the faster route. If a design from my portfolio fits your vision, we adapt it to your dimensions and space. Production moves quickly — typically around 5 weeks — making this the right choice for projects with tighter schedules.
A fully bespoke piece is designed from scratch around your specific architecture, atmosphere and brief. This is the right path when the project calls for something entirely site-specific. Production takes between 6 and 8 weeks depending on complexity.
Both paths result in a piece that is exclusive to your project. The difference is in the starting point, not the outcome.
What I need to quote you
For either path, getting to a quote is straightforward. I need:
Dimensions of the space
Your preferred style or aesthetic direction
For bespoke pieces: visual references that capture the atmosphere you are going for
That is enough for me to come back to you within 48 hours with a clear proposal.
What happens after you inquire
Once we align on concept and scope, the process moves through:
Concept development — design proposal, material selection, and confirmation of all technical details before production begins.
Production — 5 weeks for portfolio-based adaptations, 6 to 8 weeks for bespoke designs, from the moment we confirm.
Shipping & installation — I ship worldwide with full insurance. Every piece arrives with complete installation documentation so your team can execute without complications.
What makes hospitality commissions work
The projects that go smoothest have a clear brief, a realistic timeline built around production lead times, and a point of contact who can make decisions. I also provide full technical documentation with every commission — material specifications, dimensions, installation instructions, and a certificate of authenticity.
