Full steam ahead toward imagination at Botel Amsterdam
Anyone stepping on board Botel Amsterdam is immediately embraced by an explosion of color, layered prints, and graphic discoveries. On board? Yes, because the check-in desk is located on the water. In a boat at the NDSM wharf in Amsterdam, to be precise. With striking colors and an exceptionally vibrant appearance, the interior aligns perfectly with the hotel’s creative identity. Wherever guests look, they discover new, surprising details in the carpet and on the walls that make the whole experience special and, above all, a talking point. The prints were used exclusively for this hotel.
“It was great that they thought along with us on matters such as acoustics.” – Ruth van Toledo, director of design at E.S.T.I.D.A.

Dynamic, surreal atmosphere
E.S.T.I.D.A. handled the concept, design, and realization of this carpet, drawing inspiration from the surroundings. The custom-designed graphic printed carpet supplied by TREU features waves and crosses full of symbolism. The waves refer to the water in which the boat rests, while the crosses refer to the city, as Ruth van Toledo, director of design at E.S.T.I.D.A., previously mentioned in this interview. (Hanging) plants pop up everywhere among the colorful prints for a lush, botanical vibe. This combination creates a dynamic, almost surreal atmosphere that perfectly suits the unique identity of this floating hotel.
When delivering the marine carpet, TREU ensured that the pattern flowed correctly so that the carpet fitter could easily install it. A layout plan was also drawn up in which the various carpet patterns and colors were clearly defined.
