Knowing the importance of lighting for an hotel and the sector trends is essential to approach a complete lighting project for hotels.
Hospitality is a world in continuous evolution and, compared to the past, the change seems to have become even faster, so much so that hotels must constantly update, renew themselves, adapting to the changes underway.
A good hotel must be able to make the guest feel at home, with a warm and hospitable atmosphere.
The lighting of the hotel contributes significantly to the experience of the guest, not so much for the function related to visibility, but for the emotions that it is able to arouse.
The atmosphere you need to recreate with the right lights must be welcoming, pleasant and functional, so as to allow guests to easily and comfortably orient themselves in any space of the hotel.
For example, the lobby of a hotel, often considered a crossing point, a simple transit to reach the rooms or other areas of the structure, is actually a very important space, as it provides the first impression of the structure, makes guests understand where they are, the tone and type of hotel.
The light will be able to convey exactly the image that the hotel wants to give its guests.
Therefore, designing the right lighting is essential: depending on the identity of the hotel, you can choose to light up the reception desk with a scenic installation, as in the case of Vollee, or by using a solution with a simpler but still impactful form, as in the case of Libe.
In public areas such as a lounge it is important to recreate an intimate and relaxing atmosphere, so the light will have to ensure the right lighting without being too strong.
On a stylistic side one can dare in some cases to work with contrasts, inserting more classic chandeliers such as Crek in modern contexts.
In the rooms, however, the light must take on a more practical but flexible role. It should be possible to adjust it according to your needs. Adopting a lighting system that can adapt to the needs of the guest, means allowing him to recreate in an autonomous and impromptu way the atmosphere most pleasing to him. Iglù is perfect thanks also to the system of dimerability, which will allow the guest to adjust the intensity of the light according to his needs.
In corridors, the light must be functional to identify the path to the rooms, stairs, or access to elevators, so it is necessary to vary the lighting levels, often mixing technical lighting with decorative lighting, in order to ensure the right lighting with even a dose of design.
Iglù is a transversal collection, which finds its correct application even in the case of a corridor of a hotel, being able to manage the length of the cables as appropriate.

The open space kitchen and living room was born in American architecture and is increasingly popular in Italians homes.
It is a focal space of the house, the one where the family comes together to spend time together and share conviviality thanks to the large spaces reformulated on a human scale.
Within the space it is appropriate to delimit the areas, distinguishing the kitchen from the dining room and the living area. To do this in addition to the furniture you can use the lighting design to emphasize this distinction.
The search for lighting solutions of an open space should start from the study of space. The most important lighting points should also be chosen according to the type of lighting you want, recessed spotlights, LED spotlights or chandeliers.
The furniture plays a primary role in the choice: a suspension in the middle of the room integrates perfectly with an elegant and classic space, while minimal solutions such as spotlights or design suspensions illuminate better a minimal space. In the choice it is to consider that straight and geometric lines follow the verticality of modern furniture, while the rounder shapes can soften the whole.
Thanks to the creation of separate areas within a single space the family will have the areas suitable for every moment. A very important light point is the one that will light up the dining table, where the moments of conviviality are spent.
The relax area, with its sofas and armchairs, is the most relaxing heart of the house where you can spend your free time having long evenings chatting, reading books and watching movies with friends and it needs a dedicated lighting.
The ideal is to establish more points of light in this area, perhaps using floor lamps next to the armchair, rather than a chandelier that lightly illuminates the room or spotlights that are the ideal solution in the darkest corners.
To light up a dining table or the island in the kitchen, it is ideal to choose a suspension with a straight and clean line.
You can range from the Olà collection, choosing the oval suspension, perfect to illuminate the kitchen island giving a touch of preciousness
to the billiards of the Sound, which is characterized by the characteristic shape and minimal at the same time.
The living area needs a more intimate atmosphere, to be illuminated with the elegant crystal pearls of Cristalis
or with Crek and its precious handmade glass plates.
You can add a touch of color with soft light by choosing Cupole.
If there are areas of particular interest for architecture or furniture elements to enhance, you can use wall lamps that allow you to light up even the most narrow areas as corners and niches. Among Masiero’s various proposals in terms of wall lamps, Palm stands out for its originality and flexibility, being a modular wall decoration system.
If you need to renew the lighting of the open space kitchen-living room, but you do not want to undertake a whole path of lighting design, you will simply replace the suspension of the room with something special.
You can choose Olympya: changing even a single detail so important will give new life to the entire room.
