The renovation project for the furnishings of this exclusive wine resort was born from the owners’ deep passion for wine, a passion they wished to express in every detail of the interior design. The concept is built around a simple yet powerful idea: each room is dedicated to a different type of wine and takes its name from it, transforming the stay into an immersive, multisensory, and narrative experience.

The Malvasia room, the prototype for the intervention, fully embodies this approach: the warm color of the wine it is named after inspires the entire color palette, dominated by deep yellow and golden hues that evoke elegance, warmth, and richness. Every element was carefully chosen to reflect the unique characteristics of Malvasia, contributing to the creation of a refined and welcoming atmosphere where aesthetics and functionality blend seamlessly.

The room is designed with a flexible layout, easily convertible from a double to a twin configuration, thanks to a custom-made headboard. Equipped with four integrated reading lights, it allows the beds to be separated or joined without compromising either aesthetics or functionality, while always maintaining a carefully balanced and refined composition. On either side of the bed, two Array pendant lamps by Vibia complete the atmosphere with lighting that is both dramatic and delicate: the arrangement of the wires creates plays of light, transparency, and volume, offering a dynamic, almost moving visual effect that enriches the space without overwhelming it.

At the entrance of the room, a multifunctional bench combines three functions in a single element: it serves simultaneously as a luggage rack, a comfortable loveseat, and an ideal spot for breakfast or smart working moments. This detail, too, reflects the attention to practicality and guest comfort—without ever compromising on design.

A touch of art characterizes the wall above the headboard, where a textured artwork by Bio Pitture di Design has been installed: a panel treated with hand-applied natural lime in thick layers, whose porous, irregular surface responds to natural light. This allows the piece to change in appearance throughout the day, giving the room a living, tactile, and authentic dimension. The dominant yellow hue is paired with cork inlays—another deeply evocative element that directly and materially references the local winemaking culture. Here too, the choice of materials speaks the language of wine: warmth, sustainability, naturalness, and a strong sense of place.

The Malvasia room is thus more than just a room: it is a small sensory narrative, a space where every element - from materials to lighting, from colors to furnishings- contributes to a cohesive and memorable experience, one that expresses the identity of the wine resort in an authentic and contemporary way.

Array

Array by Vibia, designed by Umut Yamac, is a pendant lamp that merges art, light, and architecture into a single luminous sculpture. Made of fine threads stretched between two aluminum rings, it creates lightweight, dynamic three-dimensional forms that appear to float in space.
Available in both conical and cylindrical versions, the collection comes in a variety of sizes and colors—beige, green, and terracotta red—allowing it to suit a wide range of interiors. The integrated LED emits a soft downward light and a diffused upward glow, producing a gradient effect that interacts with the woven threads. The moiré effect created by the overlapping filaments gives the lamp a sense of motion, adding a kinetic dimension to the space.
Array is ideal for both residential and commercial environments, where it can be used as a standalone piece or in group compositions, serving as a refined and contemporary focal point.
