For every architect, designing something while keeping in mind their own roots means drawing on intimate memories and metabolising experiences that are then recomposed into juxtapositions and cross references that can be reinvented in a new and personal key.
A complex and sophisticated operation that is a selective creative process of references and cross contaminations that verges on the confines of the intellect and emotions.
For Vanessa Spinò, an eclectic interior designer and architect, this process is all part of her intuitive and natural way of working.
The leitmotif of every design is elegance, aesthetic equilibrium and rigour, united with lightness, exquisite attention to detail with a sprinkle of poetic spirit.
Every project, whether it’s a home, hotel or retail premises, is tailormade: from the architectural elements and the choice of materials, right through to the most minute and imperceptible of details.
Her objective is not to impose a style but to imagine frameworks that adapt perfectly to suit each individual space and client.
An interior design project is like a custom-made fragrance: a unique and personal assemblage that is unusual, original and exclusive.
Reconversions, cross-contaminations of different eras and styles, spectacular solutions and eco-friendly interventions.
This is the type of hospitality that interests Hotellerie, Ristoranti & Co, a laboratory of excellence founded on design innovation that brings together architectural allies and leading companies from the custom-made sector to provide guests with added-value and surprising experiences.
But this is not just about responding to the concrete needs of the new traveller, who is increasingly more aware and demanding, but also to establish a point of contact with the emotional realm, through a variegated array of gratifying and unedited proposals.
Precise and articulate details for hotel lounges, furnished to create unique and engaging atmospheres and charming rooms specifically designed for unrivalled stays. Spaces conceived to the highest standards, right down to the tiniest detail, with the same care and attention you would design the interior of a home.
From the emotions of living amidst striking architecture to the subtle pleasures of discovering and feeling the sartorial finesse in every detail of the furniture, every element becomes a source of wonder.
The identity and the evocative nature of the buildings are enhanced and reinforced by a pondered and skilful combination of interior design, where the designers pencil pushes the possibilities to the apex, and the know-how of specialist producers of made-to-measure products. Expert producers of architectural lighting, bespoke finishes, integrated kitchens and furniture systems specifically designed for each individual project.
Design has many applications, from residential complexes to tower blocks, villas and apartments, all the way through to interiors that have been designed down to the very last detail for increasingly discerning commissioners.
Once the functional, style and spatial solutions have been defined it is essential to be able to transform the idea into reality and find solutions that are in line with the character of each individual space, through a carefully curated selection of premium quality materials, finishes and compositional solutions. Colours, details and textures are specifically devised to create a sense of continuity or even mixing and matching different styles – there’s no limit to creativity.
The objective: Absolute freedom.
Interior Design is an important element of Retail Design, which involves the planning of spaces that are specifically designed for services (mobility, cultural, commercial, entertainment).
The days of walking into a simple store or office are behind us: today, shops have become polyfunctional places, where the design of the furniture systems and architectural lighting are a crucial element. And interior design is a tool that completely revolutionises the concept of the retail space.
The modern-day office and coworking spaces are the result of a concept that views the office as a liveable space, going beyond traditional physical constraints with open and closed workspaces and areas that are diversified by colour and furnishings.
Contemporary stores are the perfect integration of this concept: the interiors express the essence of the premises and the brand, merging different functions, transforming the retail space into lounges, restaurants, event and service areas, that are the perfect meeting place for a new form of exchange and collectivity. Lighting becomes a key element, as well as the use of materials and colour, which is carried out through a careful study of the layout of the various objects, the organisation of the traffic flow and the spaces where the user interacts with the product.
The aim of retail design is to make the traffic flow and time in the store as pleasurable as possible, through the intuitive arrangement of the physical components, emotional stimuli and their consequent influence of the customers behaviour.
