Le Meurice, the five-star grande dame in Paris, has launched Suite 1835, a temporary art installation featuring furniture that lights up in response to movement.

An aluminium carpet serves as the base for an integrated light and sound installation whilst maintaining the suite's original architecture.

Adjoining the suite is a meditation room with a mirrored cube displaying AI-generated content that changes based on occupants' energy levels. A quadraphonic sound system synchronised with varying light frequencies creates the atmospheric backdrop for the contemplative experience, with guests sitting on floor mats during guided meditation sessions.

The installation combines design, digital technology and wellness programming, positioning the suite as both accommodation and artistic experience. Guests receive a limited-edition room service menu designed to complement the sensory elements, providing private dining options integrated into the overall concept.

The Dorchester Collection property created the pop-up suite in collaboration with design label Things From, which creates bespoke furniture that gradually illuminates as guests move around it.

Available for stays from October 8 to December 31, 2025, at €3,850 per night, the installation represents an unusual approach to ultra-premium hospitality by transforming a traditional suite into an immersive sensory experience.

Things From. operates at the intersection of fashion and design, with furniture entirely handmade in Isska's Buenos Aires workshops using local techniques and materials. The label has previously collaborated with brands including Frette, Krista Kim and Web3 specialist The Sandbox, creating what it terms "vibrant installations" combining immersive experiences with traditional craftsmanship.

Le Meurice has historically positioned itself as an artistic destination where "the world's artists and thinkers have found their inspiration," with Suite 1835 continuing this narrative through this contemporary design intervention.
