It gives me great pleasure to introduce our organisation,
work and some of the most important projects from
Interna Contract’s first two decades. Our exceptional
success has been made possible through the hard work
and dedication of our staff, the reliability and loyalty
of our suppliers, and above all the trust placed
in us by our many prestigious clients. We are enormously
proud of our achievement in gaining international
recognition for the beauty and quality of our exclusive
products, all “Made in Italy”. Our company has always
believed that firms should be guided by principles
of social responsibility and so all our products
are manufactured in full respect of human rights
and international labour laws while also safeguarding
the environment.
Diego Travan
President of Interna Holding spa.
Interna Contract was founded in 1989 with the vision
of creating an industrial group specialised in supplying
high-quality décor for luxury public buildings.
In each of the extraordinary projects we have been
involved with over the years, we have always placed
the utmost emphasis on quality. As a result Interna
Contract has now become world-renownedfor
the design and production of prestigious interiors
for key international clients. Having achieved this tar-
get we will continue with our commitment to invest in
human resources, technology and innovative produc-
tivity, so that we can guarantee ever greater improve-
ments in our products and services
and so that Interna Contract remains for many years
to come synonymous with quality.

Founded in 1989, Interna Contract, along with Interna Collection
and Logica, is part of the Italian company Interna Group, which specializes
in the design and production of luxury furnishing for the hospitality
and contract industry. Interna Contract deals with the complex activity
of contracting furnishing projects for the niche luxury market, producing
exclusive furniture, furnishings and decoration on a turnkey basis.
Interna Contract began working in the hospitality sector and has,
over the years, constantly fine-tuned its technical know-how
and managerial skills. It has built extremely strong working relationships
with the world’s most important hotel brands, interior designers
andpurchasinggroups,tocreateandexecutedozensofinternationalprojects,
which have been unique in their design, historical and artistic value.
As a result of these many years of experience, Interna Contract has now
earned a position of excellence which extends well beyond the hotel sec-
tor to encompass an extremely wide variety of projects: designer stores,
restaurants, bars and pubs, banks, offices, casinos, private clinics, yachts,
health and fitness centres, museums and private residences. These projects,
together with the company’s ever-growing international client portfolio,
are the true ambassadors of Interna Contract all over the world.
7. Interna Contract 1312 Interna Contract
Interna Contract places a real value on its team of over 40 experts who are
specialists in dealing with extremely challenging projects. They ensure
not only high-quality products but also high-quality service by taking care
of every single aspect of every project: from planning to after-sales
assistance and in full respect of pressing deadlines and of agreed budgets.
This is the basis for Interna Contract’s indisputable Passion for Projects.
10. INSTALLATION
Interna Contract’s specialised personnel carry out
and ensure the correct installation and fitting
of all joinery works, carpets, marble, ceramics,
plasterboard and iron. Interna Contract site managers
guarantee the perfect installation of the contracted
work and coordination between their work
and other companies on site.
AFTER-SALES ASSISTANCE
Interna Contract gives a warranty for the products
supplied for a period which is contractually agreed
for each project. Interna Contract is also able
to offer post-sales assistance for each project, well
after the warranty period has expired, thus granting
the client the most competitive price and conditions.
This service includes the maintenance, refurbishment
and/or replacement of “custom-made” obsolete products.
Interna Contract offers its clients a very innovative service
which allows its users to check on-line the progress of every
order placed. Once an order has been finalized, clients are
assigned a username and password to access the private area
on Interna Contract’s website.
The opening page of this area displays a list of all the tasks
and activities planned for the completion of the project, along
with the production deadlines for each product. Interna Contract
aims to provide its clients with an “open” system based
on maximum transparency, and where information is updated
in real time.Clients are able to track the exact production status
of their orders as if they were actually watching the production
process: they can see if a certain product is being varnished,
is ready for despatch, or has already been shipped.
Interna Contract works on a turnkey basis. This means that
the company takes total responsibility for its clients’ projects,
from initial ideas to their actual completion. Interna Contract’s
work ranges from arranging financing to producing the final
designs, from production to logistics, and from installation
to testing and after-sales assistance - with the guarantee of strict
adherence to quality standards, and the price and delivery terms
agreed with clients. The main phases for each project are as follows:
FINANCING
The contract industry involves extremely large and complex
investments. For Interna Contract, it is crucial to be able to offer
its support to clients in the form of both medium and long-term
project financing. Over the years, Interna Contract Financial
Department has acquired a significant amount of experience,
which means that they are able to provide clients with different
financing options.
shop drawings
The Interna Contract design team, made up of experienced
architects, designers and technicians, works
on the outline project and carefully draws up the designs
for each individual piece of furniture.
Key design criteria always focus on functionality, quality
of materials, sturdiness, aesthetics, cost engineering,
and comply with national and international standards.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Project managers at Interna Contract are the clients’ main point
of contact throughout the execution of the project. They plan
and monitor every stage of the order, coordinate the company’s
various activities and make sure that for each project the three
fundamental objectives are achieved: agreed product details
and standards are complied with, delivery terms are kept to,
and budgets are respected.
LOGISTICS
Interna Contract Logistics Department is able to select the best
carriers and the most appropriate means of transport to optimize
delivery times and costs and to meet clients’ deadlines.
All transportation conforms to international security and sanitary
rules and procedures for the carriage of wooden materials
and products, as well as highly important protection procedures
against moisture, high humidity, or excessive dryness.
PRODUCTION AND QUALITY CONTROL
Through its many years of experience, Interna Contract has built
up a solid, productive know-how, and can now guarantee flawless
quality at highly competitive prices. This applies to both large
scale production, made with cutting-edge technology and machine-
ry, as well as small-scale or even one off custom-made items,
characterized by non-standard shapes and sizes, hand-painted
or engraved details, and special finishes. During production
rigorous quality controls are carried out by Interna Contract
specialists to ensure that each final piece is crafted to perfection.

to create something really exclusive for their projects.
All items produced are unique and made exclusively for these
specific projects from tailor-made designs.
Thanks to significant and constant investments in know-how
and technology, Interna Contract is able to create the most
sophisticated solutions in furniture and furnishing, however
recherché the style and technical requirements, using many
different materials - from wood to metals and from plastic
to glass. The result is an almost infinite range
of diverse products: chairs, armchairs and upholstery, doors,
fixtures, fittings and other joinery work, usually for indoor use,
and for outdoors, fixed and freestanding furniture, lamps
and other accessories.
ONE-OFF FURNISHING PRODUCTS
FOR PROJECTS
Bespoke Interna Contract products are clearly not items
to be ordered from a catalogue, but in response to widespread
demand from the luxury contract sector for top quality
furnishing, a sister company was launched in 2005. Interna
Collection produces a vast range of furniture and furnishings
which have been specially designed and engineered for
the contract sector. The collection offers three different lines,
which include over 200 concepts designed by 7 world-famous
designers, and is characterized by extreme flexibility,
with over 1,000 options for personalization.

WORLWIDE
The high level of organization and the years of experience
behind Interna Contract mean that we are extremely well-equipped
to handle all types of commisions, however large or complex
and wherever they may be located. Our high profile clients
portfolio which spans the globe, from Europe to Asia and from
Australia to America, is a testament not only to our abilities
but also to the quality and popularity of our exclusive products.
14. Interna Contract began its career in 1989 in the luxury hotel sector,
and has since achieved a position of excellence which extends well
beyond this sector. Interna now supplies exclusive furniture, furni-
shings, and decorations on a turnkey basis for all sorts of projects inclu-
ding designer stores, restaurants, bars and pubs, banks, offices, casinos,
private clinics, yachts, health and fitness centres, museums and private
residences. In the luxury sector every different building or project has
its own particular demands. Each project requires specialist know-how
and technological equipment to manufacture singular pieces of furnitu-
re, specially designed for the environment they are to furnish and to help
create a unique ambience. Hence the creation of Interna Contract’s
specialised Divisions. In Divisions our highly-skilled and experienced
project managers team up with the most qualified specialists, technicians,
and designers to ensure the perfect handling of each and every complex
project and to make the final result an absolute success.
Interna Contract Hotels Division, started by Interna in 1989,
has now established a truly unrivalled market position, and has
completed more than 100 projects all over the world for the most
important luxury hotel chains: Hyatt, Marriot, Hilton, Westin,
Radisson, Four Seasons and The Ritz-Carlton to name but a few.
Hotels tend to reflect their surroundings and their cultural
and historical inheritance, The Park Hyatt, Milan, with its spectacular
lobby lounge La Cupola, and white travertine marble seems to have
absorbed the sensations, sounds and even the colours of Milan
and its people. Hotel interior design can sometimes mean restoring
the splendour of a historical building, and our Hotels Division
excels in the painstaking work which this type of undertaking demands,
as the spectacular Villa Feltrinelli on Lake Garda and the Hotel
Des Indes in The Hague, The Netherlands can attest.

15. Over the last few years a renaissance in bar and restaurant culture
has given architects and designers the opportunity to pursue
a whole new realm of ideas, to experiment with materials, with
light and colours to provide a dramatic backdrop to everyday life.
Eating and drinking have become synonymous with fun
and escapism, and there are endless ways for interior spaces to achieve
this effect. Interna Contract is proud to have created some truly
magnificent interiors for this exciting sector. For the world-famous
Café de la Paix in Paris, one of our Bars & Restaurants Division’s
most recent projects, Interna created sumptuous furnishings
in mahogany with lacquered or gold-leaf inlays and superb bronze
decorations, to really evoke the spirit and glory of Napoleon III’s
Second Empire, when this historic place was first opened.
The seductive and imperial red hues of the chairs, together with
the yellows and gold used in other decorative features, are truly
evocative of this fascinating period in European history.
Interna Contract Bars & Restaurants Division
The Office Division at Interna Contract never supply standard
off-the-shelf projects, they respond to each client’s own personal
requirements for comfort, space, aesthetics and functionality
to create a working environment that allows users to determine
their own levels of calm and concentration. Interna Contract
Office Division is able to carry out the most diverse turnkey office
projects for executive meeting rooms, offices and workstations
through the supply of seating, dividing walls, executive tables,
functional cabinets, and much more.

16. The purpose of any museum is to reveal past cultures and traditions
to its visitors and to narrate complex history through a series
of individual fragments. The interior design of museums plays
an intrinsic role in this narrative and presents its own very particular
challenges. Interna Contract Museum Division developed from
the specialist production and maintenance of museum showcases
and has always worked closely with exhibition curators and museum
directors to ensure the long-term conservation and protection
of exhibits, using microclimatic control, and to guarantee that safe-
ty and security measures comply with international standards.
Technical solutions that we have developed for our most
prestigious clients include the use of optically coated non
-reflective extra-clear laminated security glass, high-temperature
epoxy-coated sheet steel, LED and fibre optic lighting,
low formaldehyde panels and encoded or electronic multi-disc
locking systems to interface with alarm systems.
Interna Contract Museum Division
Interna Contract Residential Division deals with unique personalities
and emotions: a person’s home always reflects their aesthetic tastes
as well as their individual ideas of comfort and lifestyle.
Rules for the interior design in the hospitality industry do not apply
to residential projects, these projects give the opportunity to really
maximise personalisation especially in millwork, carpeting,
draperies and lamps. Unique pieces of furniture are also given
the greatest importance, eye-catching pieces to be admired for their
beauty, luxury and quality of workmanship. Our manufacturing
know-how and skills really come into their own in these projects:
special inlay work, hand-painted pieces, engraved sections, the most
difficult finishes and unusual shapes are just some of the daily
challenges that our Retail Division tackle in creating the perfect living
space for even the most demanding private clients and architects.

17. Interna Contract Retail Division supplies retailers worldwide
with high quality furnishing solutions. We work with prestigious
clients who are looking either to create an individual and exclusi-
ve store or to develop a more ‘brandable’ image, one that is easily
identifiable and replicable at other outlets, but one that can also
be readily adapted to different buildings. For prestigious clients
in the fashion sector, to whom we supply furnishings worldwide, we
manufacture, deliver and install extremely high-quality, custo-
mized work, by combining our expertise and the latest technology
to create the most sophisticated furniture and furnishings. For the
boutiques of an internationally renowned jeweller, refined designs
and exceptionally stringent security measures are united
to perfectly meet the demands of this prestigious client.

Spas and wellness centres are designed to promote and restore
a balance between the mind, body and spirit. Interna Contract
furnishing solutions for these oases of calm are specially
designed to foster an atmosphere of absolute relaxation, to engage
and pamper all the senses, and to create a place for rediscovering
the inner-self free from the constraints of time.
Interna Contract Spa & Wellness Division is able to supply
a wide range of furnishings, both millwork and loose,
with the ideal characteristics for such environments, for example
through the use of metals, woods, varnishes and finishes which
are damp and heat resistant.

18. The design and creation of any interior for large yachts has to take
into consideration many aspects which are unique to the marine
industry and has to ensure that aesthetics are combined with
functionality and safety. The work of Interna Contract Marine
Division not only complies with the specifications for each project,
but also with a series of international regulations for the marine
sector (e.g. Lloyd, MCA). A standard feature of these projects
is special requirements in the choice of materials used and special
installation procedures, in compliance with fire safety regulations
and anti-vibrations factors. Ecological aspects, particularly
in the choice of varnishes used, must be taken into account
and acoustics and lighting have to be carefully studied to guarantee
maximum comfort on board.

As the competition for tourists grows more intense each year, resort
and casino developers come up with a myriad of design strategies
to draw the crowds. The fantastically themed mega-resorts
of Las Vegas now set the standard for similar places in the rest
of the world, and “stage set” style fantasy is generally the architectural
and interior design style of choice. Interna Contract Leisure Division
is well aware of these trends, as is demonstrated by some of its latest
projects, such as the Crown Casino in Melbourne, the largest casino
located outside the USA, for which we produced all furnishings.
As you enter the casino, you are swallowed into the fabulous world
of A Thousand and One Nights. The effect of the furnishings, materials
and choice of colours is simultaneously sensual and stupefying.
The visual and tactile is up-front and dazzingly audacious and shows
the outstanding quality of Interna Contract products, a very special
kind of “Made in Italy”.

BMW Welt is one of the first constructions to represent a new generation of buildings
purpose-built for communication in the 21st century. As a place of meeting and change,
BMW Welt is an ideal setting for BMW exhibitions as well as for other events in the fields
of economics, politics, society and arts and culture. Here the company can communicate
with its customers, friends and visitors from all over the world.

22. The innovative architectural project (work of the renowned firm Coop Himmelb(l)au)
makes great use of light, airiness and dynamism in an enormous wave-like, slightly concave
structure which resembles a cloudy sky. Supported on 11 individual pillars, it is a real challenge
to the laws of statics. The interiors of the 3 restaurant areas were designed by FG stijl
and perfectly complement the architectural structure. The design is clean and contemporary
and makes use of an original mix of steel, glass and integrated lighting.
Interna, after gaining a very tough international tender, focused its work on three different areas:
the furnishing of the bistro on the first floor, the international restaurant and the balcony on the
second floor and the vip restaurant club with the board room on the third floor.

25. The extreme complexity of the furnishing project, in particular in relation with the architec-
tural structure, the short period of time for the implementation and the very high quality level
required by the specialized furnishing, generated a great challenge for Interna, but a one
that has been met with success. The high number of companies taking part in it,
required the use of a virtual platform containing thousands of drawings and constantly updated
by all the parties involved.

26. Located near the Olympic Stadium, where BMW headquarters and museum were already
situated, BMW Welt offers visitors the chance to immerse themselves in the world of motors
and this most famous German brand. BMW clients can collect the cars they have ordered
directly on site instead of waiting for them in dealerships and take advantage of other dedicated
services. Visitors can explore the ‘leisure’ areas (exhibition hall, restaurants, shops, auditorium
and more) which are part of the same complex as the museum and the BMW factory, and which
are all linked by a series of suspension bridges.

27. In the third-floor board room Interna was particularly involved in the panelling of the walls
with stone, leather and velvet. A great technological challenge was the installation of a “Media Wall”
made of stone and incorporating a video projection system.
52 Interna Contract | BMW Welt | Munich Interna Contract | Bmw Welt | Munich 53
28. The interior of the BMW Welt is just as remarkable as its architecture: offering visitors
different room perspectives, easy orientation and maximum comfort and even the smallest
design feature contributes to the building’s sense of uniqueness. Leitmotiv of the furnishing
of all the areas is the table ‘TOTO’ by Hannes Wettstein of the Contemporary line
of Interna Collection in all its forms (coffee table, side table, lamp table) and customized
accordingly with the specifications of the designers.
Interna Contract | Bmw Welt | Munich 5554 Interna Contract | BMW Welt | Munich
29. Interna Contract created the interiors for the first citizenM hotel. Located in Amsterdam,
near Schiphol Airport, the idea behind the hotel was to offer affordable luxury accommodation to
“mobile citizens”: modern, independent travelers who appreciate contemporary design
and user-friendly technology. The hotel, built using the “Industrial Flexible Demountable” sys-
tem, consists of modular, container-like rooms (2.8x12 m). These rooms were inspired
by the minimal and efficient interiors of yachts and the cabins on private jets, and are equipped
with the best technology and amenities. Interna was commissioned by this new hotel chain
to provide turnkey furnishings following the design created by Dutch firm Concrete.
Interna was very much involved in each phase of the project, from concept and engineering,
to the final finishing touches to the rooms, and all with the utmost care and attention, particu-
larly in the choice of materials and finishes. Interna also supplied innovative room features like
a square wall-to-wall bed, or showers, with LEDs that can be set according
to personal preference. Customization was one of the main themes of this project: guests can
control the lights, music, and wake-up call tunes for their room. The hotel also offers a wide
choice of books, magazines, films, and a 24 hour restaurant.

Surrounded by pine forests, wildlife reserves and the unique flora and fauna of the Mediterranean,

Like all the buildings in the resort, the Hotel is ecologically constructed and endeavours to maintain
a Mediterranean style, with offset roofs, numerous porticos and the predominant use of stone and
wood. Inside the Hotel, turnkey furnished by Interna, there is a calm and relaxing atmosphere cre-
ated by the use crisp, clean lines. The rooms, with their simple and elegant design and the colours
of the sand, evoke the nautical world and open upwards, with an unexpected relaxation area in a
loft. The view of the sea is breathtaking, the water almost reaches the hotel and plays wonderful

well-being that each place can transmit. For this reason, I took inspiration from my land
of origin, Indonesia, to imagine tranquil spaces, spacious and luminous, yet intimate and warm.
Subtle and smooth colours, sand, brown, ochre and orange without forgetting the white
of purity and inner calm, with precious yet primitive materials such as wood, bronze, stone, mosaic
and textured ceramic. Lights which blend in with shapes. All combined with cutting edge Western
technology for feeling at home even when away from home.”

and velvets, and offering comfort at the highest standards of quality.

the spirit of Paris. Located in Rue de Beaux Arts, near the intellectual heart of the city,
its modest façade conceals the hotel’s refurbished interiors in the flamboyant style that
is so representative of Jacques Garcia. The French designer, like no other, knows
how to emphasise the traditional qualities of a property and to maintain those same features
in modern, luxurious splendour. His individual style is well expressed through the pieces selected
from Interna’s collection “Les Grands Classiques de Jacques Garcia” which enhance, with their

86. The French philosopher Baudelaire defined the sea as a perfect balance of “harmony, beauty,
luxury, calmness and voluptuousness”. The same words could have been written for this dazzling,
futuristic 300-foot transatlantic yacht which is, without doubt, one of the projects we feel most
proud of. As you board, you are immediately drawn to explore the yacht further and savour
its many exciting design features. Light is the most overwhelming element. The lobby walls
are luminous, bringing ancient Greek motifs to the fore; shining marble surfaces in the aptly
named Long Bar reflect the light; the American Maple used throughout the library glows;
and light cascades down the crystal-glass stairway which links all decks with the helicopter pad.
From both a creative and technical point of view the yacht is an amazing achievement
and the acoustic insulation is quite astounding. All outfitting was constructed to the exacting
Lloyds MCA marine safety standards. The overall effect on the senses makes this particular
luxury yacht a prestigious tribute to our skill, ability and to our never-ending search for aesthetic
and technical perfection.

Owing to its extreme complexity and for the number of custom-made items, the project presen-

one-off and exclusively tailor-made for this project and among these Interna handled
a number of rare antique pieces that required meticulous restoration. The design was developed

Hip Hotel books as being “an amazing, beautiful place, whose magic is not tangible or easily ex-
plained - it’s the way it makes you feel” ( The Times May 2002 ). It’s all too true: immersed
in a fairytale location, the villa has been restored to perfection. This style of refined luxury ele-

in Interna’s crown.

135. Villa Feltrinelli is a historic country house property. The villa and its grand park, built in 1892
by the prominent Feltrinelli Family, served as a summer retreat. It was designed by architect Al-

es, carved wood ceilings, panels, ornate stained glass windows and delicately painted ceilings. In
1997, legendary hotelier and founder of ‘Regent International Hotels’,
Bob Burns, bought the Villa, gave it new life and offers it today to demanding new travellers
in search of beauty, graciousness and peace.

for mobility, built by Volkswagen, one of Europe’s largest car manufacturers.
This centre of excellence is dedicated to the automobile in a rather unusual way by emphasizing

The Park Hyatt Hotel lies in the heart of the city, on the famous Mönckebergstraße, and is housed
in the Levantehaus, an art deco building that dates back to the beginning of the last century. In-
terna created all the furniture for the communal areas and all the 230 guest rooms, 20 suites and

restaurant a wonderfully relaxing atmosphere.

It is claimed that the Mongols landed at Hakata Bay in 1281, close to present day Fukuoka,
but that the fleet was destroyed by a typhoon before they could deploy their forces.
To the Japanese, the typhoon was the kamikaze, the “Divine wind”, rising up to protect
the land of the gods and over the centuries this incident created the belief that the country
is sacred and inviolate. The Grand Hyatt Fukuoka, next to the Canal City Hakata complex
in Fukuoka, is a spectacular 400-room hotel where Interna provided all the loose furniture
in the guest rooms and in the public areas.

Hospitality Redesigned. An ever increasing number of large
international hotel chains and hoteliers investors
are discovering the enormous value of architectural
and interior design. Design is a crucial component in creating
an individual identity for hotels and a way to make them
stand out in an increasingly competitive market.
Aesthetics have, of course, always been important but
in this world of ever changing styles and tastes they are assuming
new significance. New trends in interior design have found
the perfect expressive outlet in hotels because they provide
the ideal backdrop for innovation and architectural experimenta-
tion. The hotel sector has undergone
a real transformation and is now one of the most exciting
and dynamic areas in design, encompassing simplicity
and sophistication, versatility and the avant-garde.
A human heart. At the heart of every room or building dedicated
to hospitality is the guest, each with a different personality
and different needs. Philippe Starck, design guru and initiator
of so many tendencies and ideas, recognised this many
years ago when he said that “the guest must be the actor
not the spectator.” Fashions and trends may come and go
but one belief has remained unchanged in recent years:
the importance of the individual. When this is applied
to hospitality, it means ensuring guests not just a comfortable

stay but one that feels personalised, exclusive and unique.
Hotels have begun to take on an increasingly domestic feel,
where the guest/client is made to feel at home and is given
a warm and personal welcome.
The hotel has become an environment in which to experience
moments of silence and well-being, a place for reflection
and rediscovery. This need for personalization is catered
for in large hotels through the creation of small separate worlds
in a varied typology of rooms and suites, with private dining
and meeting rooms and a myriad of other services and facilities
designed to engage, amaze and reassure the guests or stimulate
and facilitate their work. Whether travelling for business
or pleasure, guests expect to have a pleasing and enjoyable
stay in a environment which feels homely but is also beautifully
designed, a place where every comfort is catered for but
without unnecessary ostentation or frivolous services.
True luxury has come to mean intimate interiors which shun pre-
tension in favour of a subtle arousal of the senses.
The richness of the surroundings and particularly the services
on offer are increasingly designed around the target consumer.
Such spaces involve the guest on a physical, emotional
and interactive level forcing designers to consider new and more
complex aesthetic languages to express this new relationship
we have with our surroundings. When thinking in terms
of a complete project (the transformation of an empty space
into a fully-furnished entity) and the development and satisfaction
of this complex relationship between individuals and their sur-
roundings, sensory aspects, such as lighting,
colour and sound, take on an increasingly important role as do
the hotel’s staff and the way services are presented.
New hybrids. Finding a balance between building, function
The citizenM Amsterdam ensures guests not just
a comfortable stay, but one that feels personalised, exclusive

and aesthetics can be difficult but results in expressions of great
individuality even when applied to new design contexts such
as the increasingly common, multi-functional area, with
all the specific new demands which such areas entail. Just as modern
society questions its values and traditions so are functions
and services now being called into question. Designers have
the opportunity to explore innovative ideas in the creation of new
hybrid spaces which combine different functions and applications.
Architectural projects and their interiors have become contempo-
rary urban landmarks and the focus of interest and taste. This new
way of seeing and designing communal areas in hotels,
as in other buildings, gives each a very individual character, so much
so that they could stand alone, independent of their surroundings.
It is in this context that we are seeing the ‘opening up’ of hotels
to the city beyond its doors as the setting for events and exhibitions.
The traditional concept of the hotel entrance area has gradually
given way to the idea of the lobby as a truly multifunctional space.
This new concept has necessitated a revolution in the organisation
of hotels, not just with regard to the services they offer but with how
spaces are used and furnished. Aesthetic expression is, however,
consistent: each interior space must be given its own identity.
We can no longer talk about interior design as a single concept;
it has become a fluid series of scenes intended to captivate the guest.
Technology plays a vital role in these new scenes, both in the appli-
cation of innovative materials and in the use of integrated
or hidden systems to simplify our daily life or offer new design
opportunities. Forget cold technicality, technology has been refined
to become an integral part of a more emotive modern style
through an approach which combines light and materials, shapes
and colours, and customised furnishings.
In the Chedi Milan, completely furnished by Interna,
guests are made to feel at home and are given a warm
and personal welcome. Small, separate worlds are created
using different types of rooms and suites,
private dining areas and lounges, and make the hotel
a place to rediscover moments of silence and well-being.
