A FUNCTIONAL BEAUTY
At the heart of Brisbane’s bustling James Street, The Calile Hotel stands as a beacon of understated luxury and architectural clarity. Designed by the acclaimed Richards & Spence, this award-winning destination reimagines what a hotel can be, blending resort sensibilities with urban sophistication. Every one of its details was thoughtfully considered, and every material chosen for the ability to age gracefully and perform impeccably.
The Calile’s palette — sun-washed travertine, pale pink render, and brass detailing — calls for furnishings that echo the hotel’s architectural integrity without overpowering it. The 40/4 chair, with its timeless design by David Rowland, effortlessly complements this vision. The chair’s clean lines and classic silhouette integrate seamlessly into the hotel’s serene and sculptural interiors.

THM Partners, rooted in the UK, has pioneered introduction of the country’s Chief Restructuring Officer role since its inception in 2001. Over the years, their team has led numerous significant European projects and facilitated over 140 restructurings, totaling a debt exceeding £158 billion. Distinguished by their collaborative approach, they prioritize engagement with all stakeholders, fostering trust and consensus.
Due to significant growth, THM Partners needed to relocate to a more spacious and adaptable environment suited for contemporary work practices — one that promoted employee well-being and productivity. Their new premises at 16 East Cheap, covering 5,500 square feet, optimizes natural light and panoramic views, shaping the revitalizing work atmosphere sought.
“COMFORT, DURABILITY, AND FLEXIBILITY WERE NON-NEGOTIABLE FOR SUCH A SPACE CATERING TO BOTH LEISURE AND BUSINESS TRAVELERS.”
