WORDS BY STUART O’BRIEN

The latest issue of SPACE Magazine (Mar/Apr 2026) is now available to read online, bringing together the ideas, people and projects shaping today’s global hospitality and design landscape.

From industry insights and exclusive interviews to standout hotel reviews and emerging design trends, this edition offers a comprehensive look at what’s defining the sector right now, where it’s heading next, and the creative minds leading the way.

INDUSTRY NEWS 
Who. What. Where. 
The key appointments, announcements, and new projects shaping the global hospitality and design landscape. 

HEADSPACE: LEADERS 
Italian brand J.K. Place brings a residential approach to boutique luxury. Co-founder and CEO Ori Kafri shares his perspective on creating timeless spaces and delivering a bespoke experience where guests feel truly at home. 

HEADSPACE: VISIONARIES 
Kelly Hoppen CBE discusses her journey into design, her inspirations, and – perhaps surprisingly – her love of colour in an insightful interview. Afroditi Krassa, the name behind some of the biggest F&B brands and more, explains why great design alone isn’t enough when it comes to hospitality interiors. 

SPACE Craft 
At a time when craft is at the forefront of design, this new series looks behind the scenes at the artisanal, talent-led processes that are often overlooked in the textures and finishes that delight us in the world of design. Kicking off the series, Armourcoat – the brand behind myriad surfaces – shares insight into the technical expertise required to lead the way in sustainable luxury finishes. 

CHANGING TIDES 
A fresh tide is reshaping hospitality at sea. Shore-based brands are setting sail, designers are pushing into new maritime territory, and legacy cruise lines are reimagining their future. “What’s driving the shift?” SPACE asks, as we explore the ascent of the floating hotel. 

HOTEL REVIEWS 
The Grand Brighton undergoes a £16 million transformation, reimagining the Victorian icon with renewed clarity, while in the Maldives, .Here delivers a radical private-island retreat defined by architecture and landscape. London features prominently, from the bohemian splendour of The Newman to the newly unveiled suites at Sofitel St James London. Elsewhere, Mandai Rainforest Resort in Singapore pioneers regenerative hospitality, The Eve Hotel Sydney channels design-led urban energy, and Ardbeg House on Islay reflects Russell Sage’s bold vision. Finally, The James in Florence transforms a 16th-century palazzo into an elegant boutique stay. 

SHOWTIME 
We take a sneak peek at WOW!house 2026 as it prepares to impress at Design Centre Chelsea Harbour. Meanwhile, over in Clerkenwell, we explore the installations, showrooms, and events set to be showcased as the festival celebrates its 15th anniversary this May.
