The team at Wallpaper* travels often and rarely unpack fully in hotel rooms or makes use of the standard wardrobes and suitcase stands. In an effort to re-define the in-room experience and make unpacking and re-packing an effortless and elegant experience, the challenge was to design a contemporary take on the valet stand crossed with a sideboard. 

'Most hotels have badly designed wardrobes and cupboards,' says David Chipperfield. 'They are not well organised and unpacking your suitcase is not enjoyable. The idea of Butler was to design a 'dressing table' that makes unpacking in a hotel room into a joy.'
