A villa of the XVI century, that was inspired by the tradition of the Veneto region, has been re-interpreted to become an elegant luxury hotel and host an impressive permanent exhibition of contemporary art.
Located in the heart of Valpolicella, just a few kilometers from the beautiful Verona, the original and modern taste of Byblos is melting with the classical elegance of Villa Amistà to create a unique and exclusive hotel, Byblos Art Hotel.
HISTORY
In the 15th century architect Michele Sanmicheli started from the ruins of a Roman 'casa forte' to design the central part of the villa in Venetian style. The current building, a work of architect Ignazio Pellegrini, dates back to the 18th century. Inside the villa paintings and original finds of both periods can be admired after careful renovations.
Villa Amistà is a combination of historic and contemporary pieces of furniture, resulting from the inventiveness of the well-known designer Alesandro Mendini, and with several artworks by world-famous artists, that have made the villa a real museum of contemporary art and design.
DESIGN
Classicism and modernity are combined to create an atmosphere that is rich of memory and remembrances, yet blinking at the future.
Byblos Casa connects the contemporary style of Byblos fashion label, which means colors, glamour prints and an innovative use of fabrics patchworks, together with the creative skills of atelier Mendini, which also includes the contribute of other important designers like Anna Gili, Bruno Gregori, Margarini-Morra, Beatriz Millar.
The originality of Byblos Art Hotel interior design is the result of the inventiveness of Alessandro Mendini, the architect and designer, who has merged in contemporary elements in the classic Villa Amistà.
Bright colors and plastic shapes are combined with paintings and marble elements in the 17th century rooms to create a unique and exclusive project:
a permanent exhibition of some of the world-best artists and designers, such as Ron Arad, Philippe Starck, Marcel Wanders, Ettore Sottsass, Eero Saarinen, Eero Aarnio and many more.
The project Byblos Casa by Mendini is to be inspired by the same philosophy: furniture and style objects representing a brilliant “Revival” style, starting from the famous “Proust’s armchair”.
