Deeply inspired by the surrounding landscape, our design integrates locally sourced materials—stone, warm woods, and handcrafted textiles—that echo the textures and colors of the mountains. The rich craftsmanship of the region is reflected in every bespoke detail, from Dolomite-inspired furnishings to artisanal finishes, creating a seamless dialogue between the interiors and the alpine scenery." — Alessia Genova, Principal at Tihany Design.
