Mountain spirit

Crans Montana's Six Senses, designed by JP Emery Architects & AW2, celebrates the mountains with local materials. Talenti furnishes interiors & exteriors

Designed by JP Emery Architects with AW2, the Six Senses Hotel in Crans Montana expresses the close contact with the mountains through the materials chosen for this project. For the exterior, quartzite, larch, oak and slate refer to the traditional dwellings of the region.

Inside, polished natural stone and brushed and textured antique bronze dominate, while the wall finishes are inspired by the embroidery and woollen fabrics typical of the Canton of Valais.

Talenti collections furnish both indoor and outdoor spaces. In the spa, which features a ceiling of 14,000 wooden slats that reflect in the water, the Moon Teak collection features loungers whose natural teak frame contrasts with the high, soft cushions that make for particularly comfortable seating.
