The Privium ClubLounge at Schiphol is a new concept aimed at frequent flyers: passengers who regularly travel and have specific requirements and needs during their stay at the airport.

An important design aspect was to reduce stress by creating a lively environment. M+R created a completely organic design with flowing lines and curves that continue along the walls and ceilings. There are several different sitting areas, each with a specific atmosphere. There is a corner with an easy chair and a fireplace and elsewhere you will find an elevation with a bar. There is also a reading table where travellers can read or use their computer. The outside world is brought in by using daylight simulation and large TV screens.

Frequent fliers to
Amsterdam Airport Schiphol might already be familiar with the name of Privium and the benefits of membership, for the rest it can be defined as a “select way to travel” based on priority airport services, such as preferential parking, discounted
valet parking, business class check-in, the preferential Privium-only route to a secure area beyond the customs checkpoint via a quick
iris scan and now the much-awaited members-only lounge.

Following an international competition, Privium Schiphol appointed the young design bureau at M+R interior architects from Eindhoven to design their highly exclusive ClubLounge located between Departure Halls 1 and 2.

Once passengers have reached the “eye”, which is literally a door shaped like a pupil that opens to provide access, they are invited to experience the comforts of every imaginable travel amenity from a fully stocked bar to a Light Energy Cabin intended for battery recharging, as well as complimentary food, computer workstations and business services.

The ambiance is relaxing and aesthetically pleasing to the tired traveler’s eye, no pun intended, with an all-white décor, colorful sitting areas and giant organic shapes mixed in with well-chosen design classics to set the mood.

As Privium claims, “Life’s not about the destination. It’s about the journey”. And this journey involves a stop at the lounge.
