Architecture Vincenzo de Cotiis
A minimalist but grand installation within the walls of a 19th-century palazzo, the Straf uses cement and earthy metals to characterize an otherwise warm and inviting space. The hotel’s urban style and its everyday materials recall the Arte Povera movement of the 1960s and 1970s, whose artists used non-traditional organic materials, including slate and wood.
Interior design Vincenzo de Cotiis
Every inch of the luxurious rooms are hand-chosen and made to measure. Simplicity prevails throughout the rooms and suites, with texture paramount. Richly layered paintings add warmth and depth to the cool industrial interior: a raw, eclectic mix of cement, bronze, burnished brash, and gunmetal.
