Talking Walls by Casa Milano

Bonjour, mes amis. We’re going to Paris, and this one’s personal!

With Paris-born mentor Maud Capet guiding designers Abrar Ishag, Essraa Shaaban and Elizabeth Mathew, the team had a connection to the city that went beyond the brief.

Paris, Mon Amour.

Their concept explores Paris through its history, fashion and quiet elegance, drawing inspiration from its façades, cafés and ateliers. At the centre of their story is Marianne, the national symbol of France, embodying a character that is both delicate and fierce.

That story carries into the hospitality suite through soft tones, marble, warm wood, mosaic details and brushed bronze, bringing together classic Parisian references with OBMI’s interpretation of the city.

Before the journey could continue, had to get through Presentation Day.

For OBMI, the challenge was taking a story so closely connected to Paris and making the rest of us see what they saw. Hosts and .mrdjen heard the thinking behind their concept and put the team’s interpretation to the test.

The final decision will sit with our professional judging panel, but OBMI have made their case for Paris.

Presentation done. Next stop: the final reveal. Bon voyage!

New York vs. Pinnacle Interiors LLC | Design & Build . Four weeks to design the city as a hotel suite.

For Talking Walls Season 4, Pinnacle Interiors had to decide which side of one of the world’s most recognisable cities they wanted to explore.

Their interpretation looks beyond New York’s familiar industrial character, drawing instead from its Art Deco architecture, heritage and history to explore a more understated expression of New York luxury.

Guided by mentor Meenakshi Ajai, designers Salin George, Sruthi Nair and Arun Joy developed a hospitality suite centred around the experience of escaping into the city. Their exploration of materials, details and design references helped shape a guest experience that reflects their interpretation of New York.

They chose a different side of New York. Now they had to make us see it.

On Presentation Day, hosts Mohammed Azhar Sajan and Marina Mrdjen put Pinnacle Interiors’ interpretation to the test, digging into the thinking behind their concept and how they translated their version of the city into a hospitality experience.

The final decision will sit with our professional judging panel, but their vision of New York is officially on the table.

Will it have the same impact when it moves from concept to reality?

One city. Four weeks. One chance to sell the idea.

K4 Group | Design & Build randomly picked Dubai as their word for Talking Walls Season 4. From that moment, the team had four weeks to turn one of the world’s most recognisable cities into a bathroom concept.

Their interpretation looks at Dubai through its contrasts: tradition and innovation, heritage and modernity, serenity and energy.

Guided by mentor Garima Baliyan, designers Niloofar Farahani, Viktoria Graf and Karen Pacheco took the brief one step further, designing an entire hospitality suite to tell the story through the full guest journey. Contemporary elements sit alongside references to local heritage, including the falcon as a symbol of the city.

Then came Presentation Day.

Hosts Mohammed Azhar Sajan and Marina Mrdjen weren’t there to judge the design. That decision will ultimately sit with our professional judging panel. Their job was to judge something every designer needs to master: how well can you sell your idea?

The concept has been presented. But has K4 done enough to make their story stick?

And more importantly, what will Dubai look like when it moves from render to reality?
