Scandic Örebro Central, a modern hotel located in the heart of Örebro, Sweden, showcases a stunning architectural design that seamlessly blends functionality with aesthetic appeal. One of the standout features of this hotel is its extensive use of wire mesh, which adds a unique texture and visual interest to the building’s exterior and interior spaces. The wire mesh, supplied by Banker Wire, is not only a design element but also serves practical purposes such as providing security, enhancing ventilation, and allowing natural light to filter through. This innovative use of wire mesh helps create a dynamic and inviting atmosphere for guests, making Scandic Örebro Central a notable example of contemporary architectural design.
Banker Wire’s representative in Sweden, Pahlfer, was commissioned to manufacture metal mesh for Hotel Scandic Örebro Central. The Banker Wire M14Z-5 is used in custom sizes for their long menu board canopy that runs along the reception, cafe, and the long bar counter in the lounge. The dark oxide-plated metal meshes are mounted in black frameworks in the ceiling feature, as well as in the movable screens along the counter at their coffee station.
Banker Wire’s wire mesh is often used in architectural and industrial applications but can be used in various ways. The wire mesh panels above the bar define the space within the room while also structurally holding the neon signage for the cafe. The transparent texture adds a layer to the interior design to create a level of interest while also being a functional structure.
Other wire mesh panels were used to continue the design theme throughout the restaurant design. The transparent design of the M14Z-5 pattern is also used as space dividers to define the room while allowing light and visibility through the panels. Hotel Scandic Örebro is close to Örebro Central Station, which becomes a natural meeting place for those on the move.
