Presentation
The title of the project "Being cosy in a second life"is a play on words between Italian and English that means: be comfortable in a second life, recover and reuse as much as possible, do not waste current resources'. A sustainability project that translates not only into the recycling and reuse of materials (such as the plastic from the cleaning of the oceans used to make the carpets or the sound-absorbing lampshades made of felt made from PET plastic bottles) but also a sustainability extended to the wellbeing of the person, amplifying the concept of the relationship between man and nature with the use of biogeometric and floral designs and inserting green elements such as tillandsia plants, which feed on the humidity in the air and purify it by eliminating pollutants.
Project within a project is A Thousand Blue Bubbles, the laundry room available to guests, where a neon sign, "A Thousand Blue Bubbles", illuminates in a play of reflections an aluminium ceiling (easily disposable and recyclable) that reproduces a water effect.
Designer
Laura F. Verdi | Architect
He is an architect and journalist. Founder of the we:ll magazine, of which she is editor-in-chief and editorial director, she reports on the world of hospitality with a keen eye for design and architecture, ranging from food to management, from technology to the web with the aim of providing new insights and innovation for the hospitality sector. She participates in hospitality industry events as a moderator and content creator. A multifaceted, curious and creative professional, she dedicates herself to design in the residential and hôtellerie sectors, creating environments that become emotional pathways, not only an invitation to beauty but to reflection on living well, designing harmony, interpreting volumes, colours and materials. His design approach is always inspired by a story to be told, by a content that is then transposed into the space with the ultimate goal of making those who will then live in that space feel good. He loves to control every aspect of the design, from the macro to the micro, with a strong attention to detail: because it is the detail that makes the difference and it is the totality of details that creates the whole.
He coordinated the DEMO Hotel project, for which he created DRAMA, the bathrooms on the ground floor inspired by the world of tragic heroines in Italian operas, and is project manager for the MODE Eco Mood Hotel project, for which he realised the two projects Stay cosy in a second life and Thousand blue bubbles.
