Uchronia’s Underwater-Themed Celadon Green Hotel Suite

The Pantone Celadon Suite was created for art fair Frieze London and highlights a broad range of British crafts, such as extruded plastic furniture by James Shaw and sea glass-inspired jugs and vases by Jochen Holz. In addition, Govindia Hemphill’s ruched curtains replicate coral formations, while her moire quilted bedspread evokes running water.  

When tasked with reinterpreting Mandarin Oriental’s soft jade shade, Uchronia decided on an undersea theme, confirming our A/W 25/26 Colour & Materials Direction Odyssey. The pressing reality of climate change and a deep reverence for our mysterious oceans is driving an otherworldly mix of natural and unnatural hybrid aesthetics, abstract, alien-like forms and a colour palette of cool, ethereal hues.

Originally inspired by the history of ceramics and the ancient art of celadon, Mandarin Oriental Celadon Green serves as a unifying visual thread across the hotel group’s global portfolio to reflect tranquillity, elegance and modern luxury.
