Bedrooms or micro-architectures: the vision of Saglietti Group

Bedrooms or micro-architectures: the vision of Saglietti Group

by | Feb 13, 2026 | Interior Decoration

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.

Caffè San Carlo: the tradition that is renewed under the arcades of Turin

Caffè San Carlo: the tradition that is renewed under the arcades of Turin

In the heart of Piazza San Carlo, inside Palazzo Turinetti, the new San Carlo Café now presents itself as a place where history and contemporary design coexist in balance. Part of the Gallerie d’Italia Torino museum itinerary, the café returns as an iconic and convivial space reinterpreted without losing its identity.

Created in 2022 and still evolving today, the project tells the story of how the dialogue between past and present can transform a historic café into an authentic and refined experience to be enjoyed every day over espresso.

Contemporary design and respect for history

The project, signed by lamatilde and realized with Saglietti Group, was born in 2022 and starts from a fundamental principle: not to alter the original elements.

The large 19th-century chandelier remains the centerpiece of the room, around which a discreet intervention takes shape that is current and respectful of the memory of the place.

Tailored materials, details and solutions

A central element of the décor is the peninsula counter in canned oak and Emperador marble, a dialogue between textural warmth and historical elegance.
They flank each other:

  • custom-made sofas with capitonné work, a tribute to Turin cafes of the late 19th century;
  • a suspended brass-finished metal bottle rack designed not to affect the original mirrors;
  • Integration of professional equipment with an aesthetic shell that enhances the environment.

An intervention in which design is put at the service of existing architecture.

Collaboration and land identity

Managed today by the Costardi Bros., Caffè San Carlo dialogues with the design philosophy of Gallerie d’Italia, between Baroque art and contemporary languages.
For Saglietti Group, this was a special project, made possible thanks to the collaboration with lamatilde, the technical contribution of Francesco Saglietti and the design care of Daria Bergese. An installation that celebrates the most authentic Turin: the one capable of preserving the past and transforming it into the future.

Greenside Mode Hotel: a sustainable suite between design, technology and vision

Greenside Mode Hotel: a sustainable suite between design, technology and vision

by | Nov 14, 2025 | Interior Decoration

Custom-made furniture for contemporary hospitality

In the heart of the Romagna Riviera, a project comes to life that combines design, sustainability and innovation in hospitality. It is the Greenside suite, an integral part of Mode Hotel, an experimental hub born from the redevelopment of the former Hotel Arlesiana in Rimini. Each suite is the result of a collaboration with selected architectural firms, according to a precise vision: to propose a modular, reversible and conscious hospitality model.

Saglietti Group contributed to the integral realization of the custom-made furniture for Greenside, a project signed byarchitect Paolo Scoglio, founder of the ne[s]t, with the collaboration of architect Paola Börner. A suite that becomes a manifesto of a fluid, sensory and environmentally friendly hospitality, where the elements not only furnish, but tell a story.

A suite designed to blend architecture and nature

Immersive design and design continuity

The Greenside concept recalls nature, greenery, and the organic side of living. The entire space is designed with fluid geometries and sustainable materials, where each element – walls, paneling, furniture – dialogues in a unique visual and material narrative.

Saglietti Group realized:

  • Custom-made moss green lacquered MDF paneling with natural Mosswall inserts
  • Custom built-in bed with single plywood top and integrated nightstands
  • Concealed kitchen with melamine-finished wood doors and custom interior compartments
  • Integrated TV cabinet in milled paneling for total continuity with architectural language
  • Walk-in closet with mirror, paneling and shaped shelves
  • Bathroom cabinet with white laminate top and undermount sink
  • Custom suspended ceiling light, custom designed to exactly follow the floor plan of the room

A central technical challenge was the perfect continuity of the architectural millings, which run through walls, furniture and lighting. Every detail was calibrated to the millimeter, requiring utmost executional precision and constant coordination on site.

Sustainable materials: aesthetics and responsibility

Every design choice follows the philosophy of the project:

  • Use of the Saviola Ecological Panel®, made of 100% post-consumer wood
  • White laminated plywood and water-based lacquers
  • Components designed according to principles of modularity and dismountability

They complete the intervention:

  • Handmade white faux leather cushions and upholstery
  • Custom MDF and painted iron coffee table

Collaboration, research and high craftsmanship

Behind Greenside is a constant dialogue between architects, designers and workers. A project born from the vision of Paolo Scoglio and Paola Börner, carried forward with the technical contribution of designers Francesco Arnulfo and Silvia Marassi, and concretized by Saglietti Group’s operational teams at every stage: surveying, engineering, in-house production, and assembly.

The suspended ceiling light, an iconic element of the suite, is a light, sculptural form capable of telling an idea through matter.

Interior design for the Albeisa Consortium.

Interior design for the Albeisa Consortium.

by | Nov 14, 2025 | Interior Decoration

Wine as identity, space as narrative

In the heart of the Langhe, the new space of the Albeisa Consortium in Alba is the result of an exhibition project designed to tell the story of wine culture through consistent forms, materials and atmospheres.
Saglietti Group oversaw theentire technical and construction realization of the installation, interpreting the client’s vision with rigor and sensitivity and restoring functional and aesthetic coherence to it.

A two-phase intervention: between reception, tasting and training

The intervention was divided into two distinct phases: the ground floor – completed in July 2023 – dedicated to the exhibition and reception function; and the basement – completed in December – designed as a technical and training space.

Over 230 square meters completely renovated, transformed into the Consortium‘s new operational and institutional headquarters.

The project, developed by Silvia Marassi(Saglietti Group), was managed through constant dialogue with the Albeisa team. Each element of the layout was the result of a confrontation between operational needs, structural constraints and narrative vision.

Ground floor: a visual and functional narrative

The ground floor area is organized around two main cores: the storage cellar and the tasting area.

The wine cellar is made of thin shelves made of bent metal, precisely inserted within a supporting structure of milled lacquered wood. The construction elements ensure solidity and visual transparency, while the dimmable LED strip lighting system ensures optimal conditions for bottle storage, as well as creating ararefied and professional atmosphere.

The tasting area is developed around the central pillar and integrates tables, seating and counter in a compact and modular layout. The design solved critical dimensional and plant engineering issues with custom-made technical elements, such as shielding furniture with metal grids and display shelves with exposed welds.

Two narrative window decals complete the set-up: one ideally guides you to the winery with a play on transparency (“the door in the bottle”), the other – inspired by the Consortium‘s logo – filters the view of the offices while maintaining visual coherence.

Selected materials

  • Matt Fenix laminate: anti-fingerprint, soft to the touch, ideal for high frequency use surfaces.
  • Dove-colored lacquer: warm, understated tone, integrated with the architectural palette of the place.
  • Transparent painted metal: structural lightness and aesthetic continuity.
  • Antique regenerated spruce (20 mm lamellar): materiality, memory, sustainability.

An iconic detail completes the tasting wall: the Albeisa logo, made from shaped bottles installed in relief, laser-cut and mounted on a curved wall using a dedicated template.

Basement: technical tasting and training spaces

The basement is designed as a technical and operational environment for training events and professional tastings. The layout integrates:

  • 12 white bilaminatetasting tables to optimize the visual reading of the wine
  • Multi-function cabinet: shelves, three wine cellars, sliding door for technical access to the wolf’s mouth
  • Curved back wall equipped with continuous shelves and minimal supports
  • Custom bathroom cabinet, consistent with the aesthetic language of the intervention

Exhibit design as a language of identity

This project represents for Saglietti Group an example of exhibit design applied to collective identity: the wine, the territory, and the production history of more than 340 companies converge in a space that welcomes, tells and inspires.

A functional and narrative set-up designed to dialogue with those who make, tell and experience wine.

Saglietti Group works alongside design studios, cultural institutions, and private companies in the technical realization of custom exhibition displays. Each project is a story to be built together, with attention to materials, context and function.
