Feeling at home

This is the trend that emerges from the furnishings for hospitality contexts, on view at HD Expo + Conference, in Las Vegas from 26 to 28 April

Increasingly refined and sophisticated, created by well-known architecture firms, for guests hotels become a ‘second home’ in which to feel completely at ease, but without sacrificing the added value of a hospitality structure. Honed and personalized down to the smallest details, the furnishings convey a pleasant sense of domestic warmth at very high levels of quality. Here’s a selection.

Bucefalo by Wall&decò, Design Ludovica+Roberto Palomba

Iris Ceramica
Created in collaboration with Guillermo Mariotto, styling director of the company Gattinoni, the new Luce collection by Iris Ceramica Group plays with movement, lights and shadows as if they were sinuous fabric draperies. A chiaroscuro sculptural effect to transform contemporary spaces. Available in the colors black, blue, gold, gray, pearl and silver.

Wall&decò
Referencing the horse of Alexander the Great, the Bucefalo made-to-measure wallcovering by Wall&decò is the result of the ‘brushstrokes’ of Ludovica+Roberto Palomba, echoing the decorations of Greek pottery in terracotta and black, filling the figure at the center of the composition with force and power. Eco-friendly and 100% recyclable.

IndelB
Ultra-silent and eco-friendly, the K collection of compressor minibars with the Ecosmart system offers high performance. Through the rooms energy saver, the smart system regulates on-off functions of the compressor in relation to the presence or absence of the guests, ensuring maximum silence during slumber. Elegant in the black version with semi-mirrored dark glass door.

Nardi
Living islands sheltered from strong sunlight are provided by Komodo Ombra, designed by Raffaello Galiotto for Nardi. A theatrical shelter system in fiberglass resin and technical fabric, for the design of open-air salons and inspired by the flexible lightness of reeds. Easy to assemble and disassemble. 

Duravit
Winner of the Red Dot Award 2022 in the Product Design category, and also of the German Design Award, the entire series and particularly the D-Neo faucet designed by Bertrand Lejoly for Duravit are convincing for their linear and geometric lines. Thanks to an appealing entry-level price, the brand becomes affordable for new target groups.

Janus et Cie
Not just poolside, but also in the water: the Cascata Fixed Chaise Lounge is a mixture of simplicity and ergonomic engineering. Made in exceptionally strong polyethylene and 100% recyclable, the product offers a slight reclining position for comfortable relaxation, ideal for use in shallow children’s pools. Available with a matte white finish.

Calico Wallpaper
The new Wanderlust collection of custom wallcoverings created by Calico Wallpaper and Rachel Cope, co-founder and creative director of the company, offers immersive, evocative settings. Scenes painted by hand depict a stylized jungle with lush flowering plants, hinting at colorful and wild camouflaged creatures. In eight color options – Allure, Delve, Enchant, Haven, Realm, Unearth, Venture and Voyage – each marked by changes of light and enhanced by a layer of metal leaf.
