To give life to this the project, Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel and Partners Architecture, were call to duty! Piero Fornasetti and Gio Ponti collaborated closely on numerous interior design projects and together created several furniture pieces and this was an unique opportunity to give to hotel’s visitors a chance to see their own furniture designs to outfit the 1,076 square feet of interior space in each suite, Premier Suite sponsored by Gio Ponti and Milano suite by Piero Fornasetti.
The Milano Suite, dedicated to the virtuosity of Piero Fornasetti, is a modern interior design reinterpreted by his style. The walls and ceilings are swathed in his atmospheric murals of surrealist cities and esoteric scenery, complemented by sumptuous jewel tones and rich wood floors. High ceilings give way to a vast wall space that hosts a gallery of the designer’s decorative mirrors.
In the dining area Fornasetti’s distinctive Capitello chairs belly up to an Ultime Notizie table, while the lounge playfully mingles his minimalist Fly cocktail table with the cushy silhouettes of his Guscio sofa and Boss armchair, all unified by a characteristic grayscale palette.
If the Milano Suite is an emphatic expression of a design master, the Premier Suite is a subdued one. Reflecting the singular minimalism of his muse, Gio Ponti, Citterio cast a sophisticated assemblage of modern furniture frames, natural materials, and polished accents.
