Holloway Li

London design practice Holloway Li creates hotel suites and hospitality lounges characterized by tactile millwork interventions, where fluted timber, embedded brass accents, and rich plaster surfaces blur the boundary between architectural structure and tailored furniture. This body of work serves as a strong reference when specifying integrated seating and headboard joinery, embedding lighting within sculpted wooden backdrops, or detailing smooth reveals between fluted millwork and stone columns.
