Project Description | A hotel "Galleria" was thriving in the heart of a city. A decade after it had opened its door, the hotel needed a new outfit. |
Materials Used | We wanted to interpret art nouveau in a modern way. Because of that, the big decorative wall is covered with the fabric in asymmetrical and fluid shapes which surround the logo of the hotel. It gives one unexpected decoration which all visitors will remember, and at the same time, adds warmth and comfort and welcomes guests. The central motifs for the pillars are the uniquely designed tiles made by the worldwide famous factory Zolnai. During the last century, they produced most of the tiles for the art nouveau buildings in this city. We asked the Zolnai team to use old technics in a modern way to produce our design. The copper is on the different parts of the furniture, completing the space by its texture and colour. The very specific details are the perforated metal surfaces – their design originates from the symbol of the hotel Galleria. We even matched the decoration with the new concept – the art pieces are monochromatic ceramic surfaces with floral motifs. The look of the space is completed by granite ceramics and walnut linings. Even the decoration (round lamps and pendants with brass details) are chosen to remind of art nouveau. Since the hotel is based in the old town of Subotica, we wanted to connect the interior with the outside area in the same manner. Thanks to that, in front of the reception we designed a fountain and a bench welcoming visitors but also passers-by and residents of the city remembering them to be proud of a great heritage they have around. |
Sustainability | We used regional companies and workers for all the works. We tried to use as many as possible materials which we can find nearby. |
Issues Faced | Some of the elements were difficult to be produced in Serbia, so we had to do some of the experiments with the local workers - ornaments, fountain and bench were very tricky. |
