Revisiting the Cozy Lobby of the Hotel in Montegrotto Terme
I receive a call from an interior designer who tells me about this renowned hotel in Montegrotto Terme. He proposes revisiting a section of the spacious lobby, the one between the entrance and the bar, divided into two parts by the main entrance corridor.
We proposed a pairing of models alternately, the Chicago armchair (BS594P) and Cardiff (BS595P), upholstered with a single iridescent fabric in shades of brown and powder blue. We also placed the Chicago sofa (BS594L) and poufs from our first Dublino collection (BS528L).
However, the interesting challenge of this project was posed by the seat height of the armchairs: the standard one was too low for the hotel's regular guests.
New Challenges for Interior Design
Initially, we simply respected the dimensional parameters indicated by the client, 45cm instead of the traditional 40cm, but we noticed that it resembled an orthopedic chair with a booster seat. The human aesthetic eye can be quite stubborn at times. After several attempts to blend the proportions, the technicians from the prototyping department proposed a truly creative solution: "Let's incline the seat imperceptibly on contact, but noticeable to the eye." Bingo! It worked. Another opportunity to appreciate the indispensable teamwork.
