John Perry Srl

Il duoMo, aperto nel 2006, segna l’ingresso di

Ron Arad nel campo dell’hotellerie. L’utilizzo

di materiali alternativi, colori accesi e forme

insolite, creano un’atmosfera futuristica

e coinvolgente. L’unicità del duoMo appare

chiara non appena si entra dalla grande porta

‘flipper’: da qui si vede già il banco reception,

uno spettacolare anello in acciaio affusolato

a una colonna che è il punto focale dell’hotel.

Anche le stanze regalano sensazioni uniche

grazie all’approccio rivoluzionario con cui

sono gestite luci, forme e materiali.

The duoMo, which opened in 2006,

represents Ron Arad’s debut in the hotel

arena.The use of alternative materials, vibrant

colours and unusual shapes gives the hotel

a futuristic and exciting feel. The uniqueness

of the duoMo becomes clear as soon as

you enter through the grand ‘pinball flipper’

door that frames the view of the reception

desk (which itself is a spectacular steel ring

tapering up to the top of a pillar), making it the

focal point of the hotel. The rooms make their

own contribution to affording new sensations,

thanks to the revolutionary approach to light,

shapes and materials.
