Design Concept: MICHELA FABBRI

For the interior design and decoration of the Spa and the 29 suites of its 4-star luxury hotel, the Royal Mougins Golf Resort engaged the services of an interior architect whose work is well known on the international scene: Michela FABBRI. An artist who trained amongst the top names in the profession (collaborating for two years with Kelly Hoppen, in London, for example), she has adopted a resolutely modern style. Far from the insulated and impersonal ambiance of the classic hotel room, Michela FABBRI has fitted out each suite as an independent home, even integrating a kitchenette into each private space!

This intimate spirit is found in the materials used. Tailor-made furniture in stained, distressed oak; doors and sliding dividers in old leather… concepts which cohabitate with unique works, such as chandeliers of metal mesh and tables with bronze feet.

For the Spa design Michela FABBRI drew upon all of her creativity to succeed in marrying the past with modernity by setting up the therapy center in the heart of two renovated, 18th-century bastides linked by a modern solarium.

Michela, who already collaborated on the 2004 decoration of the Clubhouse, restaurant, and Club salons, works henceforth on a new concept of interior architecture for an hotel on the Côte d’Azur.
Among her illustrious clients we note the five-star St. George Square in Glasgow, the Anne Fontaine Spa in Paris, and the Shu Uemura boutiques.
