Catellani & Smith light design at Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo

-

A world-renowned icon of elegance and a symbol of excellence in the art of hospitality, the Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo, located in the Place du Casino, has become a legendary institution in the Principality of Monaco.

The Hôtel  enjoys several advantages, such as the best hotel position on the Formula 1 Grand Prix race track, the setting overlooking the Mediterranean Sea and starred chefs to lead the internationally renowned restaurants it houses.

The ambience of the Hotel, half-way between charm and legend, has been added with the golden light by Catellani & Smith, expressed by the precious gold which covers Luna LED designed in a custom version for the hotel. 

Luna LED is made of an aluminium disc covered in gold leaf, applied by hand, to diffuse on walls and ceilings a warm intense light and Catellani & Smith has also supplied Malagolina table lamps for some exclusive rooms: these lamps are characterized by a hand-worked fiberglass diffuser that casts shapes against the walls, in a suggestive interaction between shadow and light. 

Gold, therefore, becomes the leitmotif of a surprising light design specifically studied to meet the elegance of the Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo, that has made of uniqueness its raison d’être.
