About element design studio

Designed for the global citizen, The Artesia Hotel was inspired by co-owner and Dalston native Bethany Rawlings’ love for mid-century modern design. She’d become a fan of it while getting her master’s degree in Architecture in Los Angeles, California. Her passion paired well with fellow owner and childhood friend Oliver Sears’ penchant for Scandinavian aesthetics. 

Named after the sunny neighborhood Bethany lived in during her time in the States, The Artesia Hotel balances the natural textures and bright decorative accents of California with the minimal design and neutral tones of Northern Europe. More than a synthesis of tastes, The Artesia Hotel is meant to be both a second home and an homage to the metamorphosis of globalized cities everywhere.
