Sensory overload is a primary issue of the metropolis. ASMR zones in hotel and office lobbies offer a solution: a combination of gentle sounds and pleasing textures for instant cortisol reduction. This is a space where 'tingles' become therapeutic.
Micro-sounds of the Big City
We implement binaural systems into chair backrests. Whispering, the rustling of kinetic sand, or the turning of pages — these sounds are delivered in ultra-high quality, creating a 3D presence effect. The lobby design is purposefully soft: we avoid plastic and metal in favor of fuzzy fabrics, cork, and natural wool.
Tactile Depth
Textural Bliss
Walls are made of panels that invite touch. We use 'tactile labyrinths' integrated into the reception finish. While waiting for a meeting, a guest can run their hand over grooved surfaces, which, combined with the ASMR sound, induces a state of deep relaxation. It's 'fingertip' design.
The Color of a Whisper
Lighting in the ASMR zone shifts synchronously with the sound. We use warm, 'dusty' shades: powder, olive, terracotta. Low transformer furniture allows for a semi-reclined position. These zones become the most popular spots in lobbies, turning transit spaces into destinations.
