Sharing his inspiration and vision for the design , Biagio Forino said ‘ For this project , I was inspired by the unique experiences travellers can live in Venice and the magic of the city along with the original design of this historic building . Guests will see touches of the original flour mill such as the wooden beams on the ceiling . For example , the bright colours of the Indian wool rugs and soft furnishings evoke thoughts of a handful of confetti , symbolising the many surprises and celebrations to be had in this city . Likewise , the wallpaper in the connecting rooms features a sky with clouds and a teal green dream , similar to what visitors see reflected in our lagoon .”

An incredibly versatile designer , his numerous projects include the finest private houses to some of the world ’ s most prestigious hotels , creating schemes ranging from contemporary modern to classic . Forino delivers truly unique designs , working hand in hand with the client at each stage , from creating inspiring mood boards and the clever division of spaces , to the sourcing of materials and the creation of bespoke furnishings .
