# Stunning Anthromorphic Sculptures The ROOM Sculpture Acts as a Guest Suite for a London Hotel By Vasiliki Marapas | Published 2014-06-12 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/room-sculpture References: [dezeen](http://www.dezeen.com/2014/06/11/antony-gormley-room-giant-man-sculpture-beaumont-hotel-london/) & [antonygormley](http://www.antonygormley.com/) British sculptor Antony Gormley has designed the ROOM sculpture, a [giant anthropomorphic structure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fibredog) that serves as a guest suite to London's Beaumont Hotel. The sculpture is made to resemble a man wrapping his arms around his knees. Inside, the hollow figure measures four sq. meters with a cavernous ten-meter ceiling. A small window is located between the sculpture's legs, veiled by shutters that provide total darkness for sleeping purposes. Gormley explains, "I take the body as our primary habitat. ROOM contrasts a visible exterior of a body formed from large rectangular masses with an inner experience." Of course, this [sculpted room](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daniels-room) doesn't come cheap, retailing at a steep 2,500 pounds per night. The hotel, which is the inaugural hotel project for Chris Corbin and Jeremy King, is due to open this fall. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 13% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Anthropomorphic Sculptures:** Opportunity for artists and designers to create unique and immersive structures for various purposes. - **Unique Hotel Suites:** Opportunity for the hospitality industry to offer guests a truly one-of-a-kind experience in creatively designed suites. - **Art and Hospitality Collaboration:** Opportunity for artists and hotels to collaborate on art installations that enhance the overall guest experience. ### Where This Applies - **Art and Design:** Opportunity for artists and designers to create innovative sculptural installations for various spaces. - **Hospitality:** Opportunity for the hotel industry to incorporate unique and immersive art concepts into their establishments. - **Architecture and Interior Design:** Opportunity for architects and interior designers to explore new ways of blending art and functional spaces in their projects. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sculptural Dynamic London Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peninsula-hotel.md) - [Sculptural Concrete Hotel Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sleeping-lab.md) - [Human Embraced-Inspired Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wallmounted-sculpture.md) - [UK-Based Modern Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/relics-in-the-landscape.md) - [Anniversary-Celebrating Pop-Up Stores](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bodyscape-installation.md) - [Anthropomorphic Seating Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-lounger.md) - [Shapeshifting Outer Space Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acromnia-orbital-hotel.md) - [Organic Sculptural Furniture Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/growth-form.md) - [Liveable Artful Pop-Up Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/julie-cloos-mlsgaard.md)
