For us, design has always been not just about form, but about the relationship between thought, space and matter. When we talk about bedrooms, we refer not only to a place to sleep, but to experiential spaces that tell a story and dialogue with the environment that hosts them.
From MODE Hotel to StarsBOX: modularity and lightness
La Greenside Suite, developed together with architect Paolo Scoglio for the MODE – Eco Mood Hotel in Rimini, is a modular, reversible and conscious hospitality model. The integrated furniture system respects space constraints and transforms them into design value, offering a unique experience for the guest and a concrete example of sustainable design.
The StarsBOX, engineered for Officina82 (Lara Sappa and Fabio Revetria), instead represents pure microarchitecture: lightweight, replicable and immediately usable. Produced to order, in small batches or limited series, it combines industrial precision and attention to detail, embodying the approach of our Design Hub: designing unique objects and spaces, ready to be transformed into real experiences.
A bedroom–inside a goblet of wine
Then there is the most iconic and challenging project: a room suspended inside a wine glass. In 2018, together with architect Paolo Maldotti of ARCHILANDstudio, we engineered the famous Nu-Ovo, transforming it into a habitable micro-architecture in the barrique cellar of Domaine des Féraud, an organic winery in the heart of Provence.
The goal was to offer an unrepeatable experience: to sleep in the place where the wine rests, immersed in controlled humidity, among barrels, silence and history. The stem, 2.80 m high, is made of pinkish salmon-colored painted iron; the upper cup, made of white lacquered birch plywood, is covered in elastic lycra, which guarantees lightness and privacy. Every detail, from the round mattress to the rotating bed top and integrated LED lighting, is custom-designed to make the experience unique and functional.
Value beyond category
Projects such as StarsBOX o Casattava can be replicated, but the Greenside Suite and Chalice cannot exist without the space that houses them. These are not standard products: they are site-specific architectures, unrepeatable and deeply connected to their context.
For Saglietti Group, the value of a design lies not in its category, but in its ability to generate relationship between space, function and vision. This is where design becomes experience, and architecture is transformed into storytelling.
