The lobby greets guests as in the most majestic of courtyards , where vegetation takes its natural course along the walls , stylised in an interweaving of bright linear stems : these are the elements of the Freeline System , whose bronze-coloured aluminum bars of various lengths contain the light source , directed to create a decorative effect . The “ ribbing ” of the bars contributes to the materiality of the slender stem .
The two reception desks are accentuated by the custom-made Tripla multi-spot compositions , with glass prisms mounted at different heights to generate original light refraction effects . Behind them , the space is completed by the irregular wainscoting backdrop , in which the glass panels of Studio Pamio ’ s Tile System , with LED strip light source , are embedded . As if to visually divide the two reception desks and emphasise the search for symmetry , the composition in the background becomes a cascade of glass , forming a backdrop to the entire axis of the lobby rooms , located one after the other .
From the lobby , the rooms open up in a rhythmic sequence , where the discreet tones and volumes of the furnishings let space and light speak for themselves . The architects wanted to ideally take up the original architectural elements of the ceilings , hinting along the perimeters to the vaults that distinguished the areas of the old building ; here the coves conceal a source for the diffused lighting of all the rooms . The vaulted ceiling theme becomes the protagonist , the traces of which remain in just one of the rooms whose memory is revived through a beautiful custom solution from the Freeline System : the curved stems are collected in groups of three and are detached from the walls to fall towards the centre of the room , culminating in a punctiform source of light .
The perfect shape of the Olympic circle of light becomes a wall light and multiple pendant , thanks to the creative play on using the different diameters available , while the structure of the lamp is almost dematerialised . The appliances are distributed between the lobby rooms and near the central flight of stairs .
The bar in the lobby is cadenced by a rhythm : that of the seating which corresponds , when you look up , to one of the infinite compositions that can be made to measure with the Multispot Tooby system , designed by Marc Sadler .
In the overall restoration of this elegant Boutique Hotel , the transversal shapes that Fabbian is able to give to light , have found an exemplary expression , bringing together the contemporary language of technology and design of the designers with the evocative beauty of the past .
