Art can play an important role in defining the character of a commercial or residential development. From large statement sculptures to custom artwork, carefully planned art can add depth, identity, and visual interest to architectural spaces.
Qube Artis is proud to have its work for W Hotel Riyadh, KAFD shortlisted for “Best Use of Art in Interior Design” at the Commercial Interior Design Awards MENA 2026. The recognition highlights a project where bespoke artwork was developed as an integrated part of the hotel’s interior design.
Shortlisted for Best Use of Art in Interior Design ;
The Commercial Interior Design Awards recognise work across the Middle East’s design industry, with the awards programme covering leading projects and professionals across the region.
For Qube Artis, being shortlisted for Best Use of Art in Interior Design reflects the importance of treating artwork as part of the design process rather than simply adding decorative pieces after the interior is completed.
The W Hotel Riyadh project brought together art, design, production, framing, and installation to create artwork that responds to the hotel’s contemporary identity and its Saudi cultural context.
W Hotel Riyadh: Art Developed for the Interior ;
The W Hotel Riyadh project was developed around the idea of creating artwork that could become part of the hotel’s overall design language.
Qube Artis worked on bespoke artwork for rooms, suites, and other hotel spaces, combining contemporary visual language with references to Saudi heritage and local cultural elements.
The project included:
- Custom artwork development
• Digital art production
• Picture framing production
• Bespoke artwork
• Decorative accessories
• Artwork delivery
• Professional installation
The current Qube Artis project page lists the W Hotel Riyadh scope as Digital Art Production, Picture Framing Production, Custom Artworks, and Decor Accessories.
Art for Interior Design Space at W Hotel Riyadh ;
The role of art for interior design space goes beyond filling walls. For a hotel, artwork can help establish atmosphere, support the interior concept, and introduce visual connections between different areas of the property.
At W Hotel Riyadh, Qube Artis developed artwork that responded to the hotel’s contemporary character while incorporating elements inspired by Saudi culture.
One example is artwork created using Arabic and English letterforms arranged into a contemporary composition inspired by the artistic style of Abdulnasser Gharem. The piece was developed to complement the modern hotel interior while bringing cultural character into the space.
This approach demonstrates how art for interior design space can be developed around the architecture, interior concept, cultural context, and experience of the project.
Art for Hotels: From Concept to Installation
For large hospitality projects, creating artwork is only one part of the process. The artwork also needs to be produced, finished, transported, positioned, and installed correctly.
Qube Artis managed the W Hotel Riyadh artwork process through multiple stages, including concept development, production, framing, quality control, logistics, and final on site installation.
The Qube Artis approach brings together:
Creative Development: Artwork concepts developed around the hotel’s design direction.
Artwork Production: Bespoke pieces produced to meet the project’s visual and technical requirements.
Framing and Finishing: Artwork prepared with suitable framing and finishing details.
Logistics: Artwork carefully prepared and transported to the project location.
Installation: Professional installation carried out on site to ensure the artwork integrates with the interior.
This end to end process is particularly important when delivering art for hotels, where multiple rooms, spaces, artwork types, and installation requirements need to be coordinated.
