Bespoke Art Concepts
Site-specific concepts for lobbies, restaurants, bars, spas, offices and landmark spaces. Research, art direction, custom design and premium production.
THE ART OF GREAT WALL DESIGN
Art for places
with a story.
Bespoke art concepts, curated collections and scalable project editions for hospitality, interior design and extraordinary private spaces.
MOUNT STARLING
We don't decorate walls.
We create visual identities for places.
Mount Starling turns location, architecture, culture and historical imagery into contemporary art worlds. Every project starts with a story and ends with work made specifically for its space.
From one signature piece in a hotel lobby to coordinated editions across hundreds of rooms, the creative idea stays singular while production adapts to the scale of the project.
FEATURED PROJECT · BERLIN
AC Hotel by Marriott
Humboldthain
A site-specific lobby collection inspired by Alexander von Humboldt's journeys and the visual culture surrounding his expeditions.
The hotel's location at Humboldthain became the starting point. Historical visual sources were researched, restored, cropped, recoloured and transformed into a contemporary family of landscape works — presented in custom-made black frame structures developed for the lobby.

PRIVATE COMMISSION · BAVARIA
Funky
Hunting
A bespoke Mount Starling design for Georg Freiherr von Hammerstein-Loxten's hunting room in his ancestral castle near Munich.
A traditional hunting theme becomes a vivid contemporary intervention. The project demonstrates how Mount Starling can develop one-off commissions that respond directly to a private interior, its architecture and its cultural context.

Explore the full case WHAT WE DO
One creative idea.
Different levels of scale.
We separate the creative value of Mount Starling from the production method. That allows bespoke signature work and efficient project editions to live within one coherent visual system.
Hospitality Collections
Curated families of artworks developed around a property, destination or brand story — for suites, corridors and public areas.
Project Editions
Scalable design systems for guest rooms, cabins and multi-property rollouts. A controlled visual family, adapted to volume and budget.
Private Commissions
One-off and small-edition works developed for exceptional private interiors, collectors and architect-led residential projects.
HOW WE WORK
From brief to wall.
Every Mount Starling project moves from story and concept into precise visual development, premium production and finishing. These examples make the process tangible — from individual visual concepts and theme creation to print quality, framing detail and transformation into light installations.

Property, architecture, location, audience, brand, budget and practical requirements.
Create
Story, research, visual direction, artwork families and bespoke design.

Room mock-ups, proportions, materials, formats and coordinated variants.
Produce
From museum-grade individual fabrication to cost-efficient project editions.
Deliver
Project coordination, licensing, finishing, framing and delivery according to scope.
INDIVIDUAL VISUAL CONCEPTS
Theme creation, not decoration.
Each project starts with a distinct narrative idea. Motifs, colour logic, references and composition are developed specifically for the room, the client and the atmosphere the place should create.
LIGHT INSTALLATIONS
Motifs can evolve into luminous statement pieces.
Selected works can be translated into backlit or illuminated formats — turning artwork into spatial installation and giving hospitality, retail or private interiors a different kind of presence.
HIGH-END PRINT PRODUCTION
Print craftsmanship at the highest level.
We collaborate with specialist production partners in Germany to achieve the right colour depth, material quality, scale and finish for each concept.
SHADOW-GAP FRAMING
Premium framing is part of the visual result.
Custom shadow-gap frames add precision, presence and architectural calm. The frame is not an afterthought — it is part of the finished statement.
MATERIAL DETAIL
Surface, edge and finish matter.
Close attention to paper, substrate, mounting and edge detail ensures that the work feels valuable up close — not just strong from a distance.
ABOUT MOUNT STARLING
Creative thinking.
Entrepreneurial execution.
Mount Starling is led by Andreas and Konstantin Schimert. The studio combines art direction, design, cultural research and entrepreneurial project development with a network of specialist production partners in Germany.
Its visual DNA is rooted in the transformation of remarkable historical imagery — not as reproduction, but as raw material for contemporary spaces.
