CASEGOODS 101
​
Hotels are one of the first locations that can set the tone for travelers coming from all over the world. It’s a structural reminder of the aesthetics to that particular region and culture. This is why considering all possible use cases for hotel guests will play a role in selecting your casegoods as they will be sleeping, eating, relaxing, and working in this space. Not only is durability important, a designer must account for function and aesthetic to set the right mood. In this course, we will cover the fundamentals of Casegoods, and what to look for when specifying them for your next project. We will cover health and safety tips, as well as the potential guests needs and welfare. We will go through a general guideline to casegoods as participants will learn through examples of finished hospitality projects in understanding the importance of casegoods.
