Chelsom head to the Cruise Ship Interiors Expo, Miami

From today, June 19 to tomorrow, June 20 Hotel Designs’ Recommended Supplier Chelsom will be exhibiting at the Cruise Ship Interiors Expo which takes place at Miami Beach Convention Center.

This is the inaugural launch of the show which promises to focus on interior design and word is that it is set to be the USA’s premier trade show and conference for the international marine industry. Offering the newest and most innovative products and services, the show will provide inspiration whilst connecting hospitality professionals from all business areas.

Chelsom are supporting the show, showcasing pieces from their latest lighting collections, Edition 26. Designed by Robert and Will Chelsom, the collections harness and refine the latest trends in finishes and materials and have been created with the requirements of the international marine marketplace at their core.

John Hadley, Marine Director commented “Cruise Ship Interior Expo is set to be the number one global event for the marine industry and we are very pleased to be making our debut. Being able to see what the international market is up to is really inspirational and it’s a great environment for companies to showcase their latest product designs and innovations. Events such as these have become key dates in the diaries of many industry professionals from the wider marine industry so it’s a fantastic opportunity to show the leading Marine Interiors professionals a selection of our latest designs from what is undoubtedly our most different and design-led collection yet.”

At the start of the year, Hotel Designs published a series of articles focusing on hotels at new heights. Back then we looked at the increasing trend for hotel designers to take to the high waters to design the luxury cruise vessel suites of the future. Step forward Chelsom…

Chelsom has become one of the leading designers, manufacturers and suppliers of decorative contract lighting to the international marine sector working on projects with all leading marine operators across all brands within each operator; including Carnival, Crystal Cruises, NCL and RCCL. Supplying both standard and custom designed lighting products, Chelsom has the expertise to enhance any cruise ship interior, whether new build or refurbishment, cabins to corridors and public spaces.
