For the restructuring of this building, which used to be a textile factory, the goal was to create a modern and informal space respecting the historicity of the place and its "industrial" feel. The renovation involved the preservation of a great number of walls in rough masonry and of the cast iron frames belonging to the original large windows and partitions, all in cast iron. For this purpose, the Freeline system was well suited, and thanks to the minimalism of its aluminium bars, it perfectly suited this context of industrial recovery, becoming the main lighting of the entire ground floor: hall, bar, restaurant, corridor, bathrooms, as well as the meeting & leisure room - where Freeline has been integrated into a modern home automation system. The project structures the system in different ways for all the different environments, creating straight lines, oblique, zigzag and "playing" using the three dimensions. In total, over 160 metres of Freeline structure and 113 light points were used, mainly "plates" (F45L12) while 7 spots (F45L02) were reserved for the lighting of the bar counter. The project manager and our client was CMT Design & Construction company from London, while the interior design project was designed by the architect Ian Hopwood, of Salisbury's Symthesis Architecture studio.

Interior Design: Synthesis Architecture

The project, by Foster+Partners, for the redevelopment and redesign of the interior of a building in Hong Kong, recognized as an important example of modern architecture, has recently been completed. The Murray, built in 1969 in the central business district of the city as the government's headquarters, became a luxury hotel just a few months ago, with 336 luxurious rooms, a rooftop bar, several restaurants and a space for events. The project is based on a continuous communication between old and new, which is why the Foster + Partners studio has chosen to collaborate with Fabbian again.
In the communal areas of the entrance and restaurant, five glass dividing walls of different sizes and considerable weight (up to 1000 kg) have been installed, consisting of numerous glass panels, the design of which is similar to the grid pattern of the hotel façade, all framed by a golden cover. On the walls, LED-lit panels have been installed, using glass panels on mirrors, to better reflect the shiny glass. Finally, two rectangular suspensions (200x60 cm) and a large oval (600x300 cm) have been created for the Rooftop bar, made up of large plates with numerous Cheope spotlights, encased in an Eulithe frame, a material which is similar to wood, but lighter and more synthetic, on which one can use finishes such as chrome plating. A unique and original work, entirely done by Fabbian on an executive project by Foster + Partners, which has restored character and life to an important building in the city.
With extensive experience and production quality, Fabbian has once again left an important mark on the history of design, a concrete demonstration of how the company is always ready and open to unique and tailor-made projects.

Fabbian was asked to decorate the lobby area around the stairs leading to the prestigious Hotel Willemswerf in Rotterdam. This spacious, luminous area is dominated by the huge chandelier measuring 180 cm in diameter and 400 cm max. in height.
It uses the Tooby diffuser from the Multispot range designed by Nanne de Ru: this consists of a tube in borosilicate glass (Pyrex®), with a cylindrical element in grooved plastic inside to ensure an even diffusion of light along the entire length of the tube. There are 160 lighting points in total, each fitted with a dimmable LED (3W- WHITE 2700K- 700mA). This light fitting was made entirely to customer specifications.

Inaugurated in 1932, the Excelsior Gallia Hotel in Milan was recently refurbished by the famous architect Marco Piva, who, for the occasion, designed a wall lamp inspired by the elegance and sensuality of the 1920s and 1930s Art Déco.
Gold Step is an elegant wall lamp made entirely of aluminum with two finishes: satin-finish bronze on the rectangular support plate and satin-finish gold for the three parallelepiped diffusors placed at symmetrical distances from one another. Gold Step beautifies the evocative staircase of the hotel.
The Excelsior Gallia Hotel includes also other Fabbian LED products: the Tile wall lamp makes the hallways airy and astonishing, thanks to its clear glass and intrinsic elegance; the Tile wall lamp is also used to lit one of the spacious conference rooms.

The magnificent Intercontinental London The O2 Hotel, couldn't have turned out better if it wasn't for our beautiful collections: Laminis and Multispot. It is three imposing glass panels to welcome the guests in the lobby of the hotel. Thanks to the possibiliy of customization, it was possible to give a complete new look to our Laminis.
Indeed, the standard glass tiles were mixed with completely new custom-made tiles that create a soft yet very sophisticated concentric effect.
Another brilliant solution was reached in the lighting of the staircase, where a rainfall of Multispot Tooby were set up like floating candles. The colour of the structure was customized in order to match the amber glass finish of the Laminis tiles.
Finally, in the rooftop bar some clusters of Multispot Beluga arranged over the coffee tables and the bar counter create an elegant and delicate atmosphere.

The Hotel Guarda Golf is located at Crans-Montana, the renowned Swiss skiing resort in the heart of the Canton Valais, at an altitude of 1500 m, with wonderful views and an important “Jack Nicklaus” golf course. The hotel is fairly small in size, but distinguished by extreme elegance and attentive and personalised service.
The hotel features an international restaurant, another typically Valais restaurant offering traditional cuisine, a lounge area with large stone fireplace, two meeting rooms, a baby parking facility and a Spa with swimming pool and fitness room.
The Guarda Golf Spa is the showpiece of the hotel. It was designed by the firm Dada Architecture+Design of Arch. Davide D’Agostino. The accent features of the centre were to be the clean lines of the interiors and an atmosphere conveying a widespread feeling of relaxation to favour the psycho-physical well-being of guests. Starting with these inputs, the architect developed a rational layout plan – rational in terms of distribution of the interiors and, above all, rational as regards interior design.
The philosophy of this Spa therefore consists in providing excellence through simplicity: a simple location made with noble materials, to host simple but expert manual skills. A combination that ideally suits the mentality and style of the owners who hope, with this formula, to cater in an alternative way for the needs of the more discerning guests of this wonderful and singular holiday resort. Fabbian has lit up the entire Spa area and most other areas of the hotel with the Cubetto, Sospesa, Faretti, Venere, Beluga Colour, Beluga Steel, Vicky, Cricket, Style, Orbis, and From Gom collections.
