PUY DU FOU – VILLA GALLO-ROMAINE
Restaurant & hotel (100 bedrooms)
Contexte
Furniture design for a hotel in a major theme park.
This project is part of an immersive approach, aimed at recreating the atmosphere of an ancient Roman establishment while respecting the modern requirements of a hotel site.
The challenge was to design robust, functional and evocative rooms capable of withstanding heavy use while reinforcing the thematic coherence of the park.
Challenge and results
We created the furniture for the hotel’s 100 rooms (double bed and bunk bed in each room): desks, mirrors, coat racks in the shape of spears… But also the furniture for all the hotel’s indoor and outdoor restaurants (wrought-iron chairs and tables hammered with specially designed brass ornaments).
Each element has been designed to evoke the Gallo-Roman era, while meeting today’s standards of comfort and safety.
Room furnishings echo the symbolic codes of Antiquity, notably in their simple geometric shapes, patinated textures and references to military and civic objects.
Metalwork, particularly wrought iron and brass, was custom-made to ensure aesthetic coherence down to the smallest detail. Decorative ornaments, inspired by Roman motifs, give character to the rooms while reinforcing the identity of the place.
The general layout of the rooms, restaurants and corridors was designed to enhance the visitor’s immersion in a historical world that has been faithfully recreated.
This project demonstrates our ability to combine scenography, craftsmanship and hotel operating constraints. It also illustrates our commitment to creating coherent, narrative and enduring universes, in the service of a rich and memorable customer experience.
