The renovation of one of the Teatro degli Arcimboldi dressing room was approached with the awareness of having to create a private space dedicated to meditation, concentration and relaxation.
While functionality is crucial from a distributive point of view, the transient permanence of a dressing room inhabitants make it possible to propose highly distinctive and daring finishing solutions.

The choice was oriented towards the creation of a welcoming and intimate environment, characterized by large colored surfaces, which come together through strong chromatic and material contrasts. Since each color corresponds to a function, it can be said that the color was used as an architectural sign.

We have chosen to recall some materials and tactile sensations typical of the world of the theater, such as the carpet and the curtain, combining them with other more peculiar elements, such as the monolithic petineuse  and the wall with mirrors, which double the perception of space.

The zenith lighting that spreads thanks to the skylights, ideally becomes the light that filters into a seabed, a secret world isolated from the surface.
