Lombardini22 designs an immersive suite at MODE Eco Mood Hotel in Rimini, blending luxury, sustainability, and playful narrative design
In Rimini, Lombardini22, a leading Italian architecture and engineering group, has unveiled ONIRICA, a sustainable suite that merges luxury with environmental responsibility. Located within the newly opened MODE Eco Mood Hotel, the suite is a contemporary homage to Federico Fellini, translating the cinematic director’s whimsical, circus-inspired dreams into a fully immersive experience.
Design Suspended Between Reality and Fantasy
ONIRICA welcomes guests with a sensory journey of imaginative lighting, playful perspectives, and scenographic details. The suite blurs the line between dream and reality, creating a narrative environment where each element surprises and engages visitors.
A Color Palette as Emotional Language
Every color in ONIRICA tells a story. Navy blue evokes depth and calm, ruby red conveys energy, cerulean brings serenity and lightness, while gold accents illuminate spaces, amplifying elegance. The palette transforms the suite into an emotive environment where color guides mood and experience.
Light as a Design Element
Lighting is central to ONIRICA’s narrative: from soft introductory glows to striking accent lights, the play of light creates a dynamic, almost theatrical experience. Geometric patterns and reflective surfaces evoke a circus-like atmosphere, constantly transforming the perception of space.
Circus Geometries and Attention to Detail
Circus-inspired motifs recur throughout the suite: in faceted faucets, upholstered headboards, glass panels on cabinets, and locally sourced ceramic tiles. The bathroom, separated by a canetté glass partition, features large custom-cut colored panels adorned with gold strips that mirror the suite’s fixtures and accessories.
A Multisensory Journey: Olfactory Design
ONIRICA engages the sense of smell through a custom fragrance diffuser by Miocugino, in collaboration with Lombardini22. Suspended in space, the diffuser releases sweet, fruity notes reminiscent of circus lights and confections, turning the suite into a fully multisensory environment.
Art and Visual Identity
The suite’s visual identity is crafted by 5Xletterpress, featuring optical illusion artworks and a mural inspired by historic circus posters. These artistic interventions transform the walls into a narrative canvas where past and present merge in a contemporary, retro-inspired language.
Subtle, Thoughtful Sustainability
Sustainability is seamlessly integrated into ONIRICA. QR codes allow guests to explore the responsible choices behind the suite, making each stay an opportunity for both luxury and conscious awareness.
