Hotel Chimera is an escape from reality. The heterogeneous mix of elements in the Chimera ceramic wall tiles collection creates striking backdrops.
“It’s not easy to convey the spirit of such a wide-ranging collection in a single installation. Hence the idea of Hotel Chimera, a sort of non-place, a location free of all ties and bonds to reality. Above all it is a place that brings a variety of elements together to create a crucible for images, where the artificial reigns supreme,” explains the collection’s designer Elena Salmistraro.
These interiors are separated by a sinuous curve which subdivides and compacts the entire installation. On the second level are two panels covered with “Radici” and “Colore” slabs. The former references the animalier trends of the Radical period and provides a perfect setting for a possible bedroom. The latter - in a hyper-decorative contemporary style - might be the perfect wall covering for a restaurant.
Elena Salmistraro once again confirms her talent as an artist and designer with incomparable communicative power. Large ceramic slabs are the perfect medium for her since they offer both visual and tactile potentials enabled by innovative technologies that reproduce the texture of leathers and fabrics.
Elena Salmistraro’s Hotel Chimera can be viewed every day from 10:00 to 19:00 starting on September 28.
