Xdesign focus zoomcolours obtained through carefully studied and attentive use of lightingto bring design objects to life and render them interactive.The entry is dotted with sculptural white trees, shiny and sparkling,uniting the earth with the sky, represented by the ceiling with itsgeometric illuminated downstands. Big round dials on the walls arebacklit to encourage us to look into them - aesthetic but also functionalconcretions allowing visitors to see what is happening on the other sideof the walls, inside the rooms.The project thrives on bright colours and smooth, polished continuoussurfaces, whether they be parts of walls or important elements suchas the reception desk or the furnishing accessories. These featuresmay be found in all the centre’s rooms, in a contamination ofdifferent sensorial purposes coming together in a spatial environmentconstructed as an exciting hybrid interactive space dominated bysurfaces, sounds and water.From the floating room, a temple of profound, dreamy relaxation in thewater, to the salt room, where wellness is nebulised so that it can bebreathed in; from the relaxation room where crisp drapery descendsfrom the ceiling with a delicate, impalpable motion to create a cosy,safe, protective space that makes you feel like you are backstagein a theatre, to the VIP Room with its mesh walls leading guests alonga route that allows them to glimpse the room’s spaces and fittings, suchas the mini hydrotherapy pool, the steam bath or the comfortable cots.The same perfect harmony of form, light and colour may be foundin five different cabins where the centre offers a variety of treatments.Sight and touch are the senses privileged in the choice of wall andfloor coverings, by Tagina Ceramiche d’Arte. Material qualitiesdistinguish the Wire System collection chosen for the flooring in thespa, a product of the company’s partnership with Simone Micheli.Designed to respond to the different needs of the residential andcontract markets in terms of both aesthetics and performance, Tagina’sceramics system includes special solutions developed for differentcontexts, such as the Hammered finish, ideal in wellness facilitiesbecause it massages the bare feet in contact with the floor, while at thesame time forming a high impact decoration when used on the walls.Quality craftsmanship and an industrial capacity to engineerprocesses, corporate know-how, familiarity with the raw materialsand traditional techniques of working with ceramics, desire to createa revolutionary system capable of introducing new signs and functionsin architecture: these are the foundations of Tagina’s innovative WireSystem, a complete, versatile series of ceramics capable of adding lifeto any space and make it highly sensorial as well as practical.Under the partnership with Simone Micheli, an ancient gluingtechnique is reinterpreted in a modern light and applied to new shapesand sizes. The result is a system that can respond to any designrequirements, including a large number of elements with which tocreate infinite, continuous, flowing spaces. This is why Wyre Systemincludes so many special pieces (for the flow of water, for constructionof platforms for containing soil and maintaining plants) with a hightechnological content that qualifies the system to change its skin inresponse to its surroundings and the specific project in which it is used.The “Compact” size is particularly noteworthy precisely because ofits versatility and method of application: a porcelain tile 20mm thickwhich may be laid over polypropylene without any adhesive, overeither sand or gravel, or on hybrid structures to create raised floors.Where there is no substrate, it can be laid like an ordinary tile.Wire System is the perfect solution for covering surfaces in any space,from the home to the wellness centre or spa, in the residential, hoteland contract industries.
