2018 GOLD KEY DESIGNER OF THE YEAR
S+S=
SUCCESS
Fourteen years after launching
Sundukovy Sisters, Irina and
Olga Sundukova have become
overnight sensations in the
hospitality design business. Find
out why their knack for putting
fun into function and free-spirited
artistry into form is earning them
top spots on the short lists of
some of the world's biggest hotel
brands and buzziest independent
hoteliers and restaurateurs.
SOME ENTREPRENEURS set out to be too big
to fail. Twin sisters Irina and Olga Sundukova
wanted to be too good to fail. "Our goals were
never about making as much money as we
could or having the biggest design studio on the
planet," they say. "From the beginning, we were
determined to focus on projects that interested
us and to create what were, to us, our team and,
hopefully, our clients and guests, the best projects in the world."
Apparently, they got ample buy-in on the
money and consumer preferences sides. Their
Moscow-based design studio, Sundukovy Sisters
(S + S for short), has a headline-grabbing portfolio of more than 30 hotels and over 70 restaurants and bars, a team of "60 passionate people
who are crazy about design" and armloads of
awards including 2018 Gold Key Awards for
Excellence in Hospitality Design for Best Lobby
Upscale and Best Restaurant Casual Dining and
being named the Gold Key Designer of the Year.
So how do two millennials who are working
moms, frequent travelers (one or both are
usually OOO on a weekly basis) and hands-on
creatives/managers become the next likely
household names in the international hospitality design industry? Read on.
