CURATED BY MAYFAIR DESIGN DISTRICT

WHAT WE DID

Following the success of our inaugural exhibition at MOMAY, we conceived East ↔ West | Creative Crossings as part of our year long residency at the hotel and as our first exhibition to shape ‘The Living Square’ the overriding thematic for our cultural programming that brings Hanover Square firmly back as a leading destination for the arts.

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

East ↔ West: Creative Crossings unfolds as a series of encounters shaped by exchange, movement, and permeability at Mandarin Oriental Mayfair — a modern salon set within Hanover Square’s long history of influence and dialogue.

Rooted in the conversation between Asian and Western practices, the exhibition brings together artists and designers whose work navigates craft, material, and cultural memory across geographies. Installed throughout the hotel’s public spaces, the works exist in quiet dialogue with the architecture and with one another, holding difference in productive tension.

Presented and curated by Mayfair Design District, all works are available for acquisition, inviting guests to extend this moment of cultural crossing into their own lived environments. Over the coming quarter, new works will be gradually unveiled across the hotel, encouraging discovery as the season evolves.

Rooted in Mayfair, shaped by global exchange.
