“ Marbles , metals , glass , leathers and fabrics , with their encounter , sometimes even extreme ,
lead to dynamic and vibrant environments .
STUDIO MARCO PIVA
Among the most interesting elements of the design , the creation of iconic custom designed elements , such as the spectacular triple-height glass and metal chandelier in the hall , the marble and steel reception counter , the self-standing washbasins in the bathrooms , metal monoliths interlocking on a marble top , the glass partition of the wine cellar .
The material contrast is another key element of the project : marbles , metals , glass , leathers and fabrics , with their encounter , sometimes even extreme , lead to dynamic and vibrant environments .
Light sources emphasize the passages and the geometries of the spaces , such as grooves of light in the false ceiling and backlighting of visual points of particular importance , in addition to traditional technical and decorative lighting .
Finally , some artworks were designed ad hoc , such as the marble and metal one in the billiard room that recalls the circular movement of the opening of a fan , or the backlit sculpture in onyx , marble and metal in the wine cellar corridor : unique details that give a touch of exclusivity to the place .
