Kettal

Akelarre Hotel

A series of Kettal furnishings have been sourced for the public areas at San Sebastián’s Akelarre Hotel, a 22-key boutique property designed by Madrid-based studio Mecanismo. Featuring a combination of carefully selected natural materials, distinguished fixtures and geometric architecture, the project comprises five stone cubes emerging from the hillside and utilises a different material within each. Complementing the terrace’s wood and stone aesthetic, Kettal’s Rodolfo Dordoni-designed Bitta armchair offsets the linear character of the decking with an intricate weave pattern, whilst a series of minimal Park Life seats by Jasper Morrison offer a refined alternative, pairing with their Bitta counterparts to create a juxtaposing scheme. Elsewhere, both of Doshi Levien’s high-back Cala chair designs function as exterior statement pieces with distinctive open latticed weaves, and, throughout the hotel’s dedicated wellness zone, reclining Bitta deckchairs in shades of sand and chalk complement the extensive use of glass, wood and stone. Designed to highlight innovations in construction, surface and form, Hotel Akelarre and Kettal make a suitable match, with both preoccupied by striking profiles and material structure. www.kettal.com

TROVE

Fuoco

Based on a historic photograph of Teatro La Fenice – the famed Venice opera house destroyed twice by fire – Trove’s Fuoco wallpaper seeks to address the concept of spectatorship through its intricate design. With a pattern comprising an audience looking outward, Fuoco invites guests to join the collective gaze through a repeating motif available in five sepia tones. www.troveline.com
