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.
