As people are travelling more to distant locations and seeking places with authenticity, it is increasingly important to connect the local uniqueness and easy-going interiors to the spaces of modern holiday resorts. Think about Cook-hotels in Greece or the hotels of Hospes chain in Spain. In these resorts, visitors are seeking modern atmosphere through the lense of locals. The trend in hotel decor is becoming more inspired by combining natural materials, hand made textiles and timeless, easy-going furnitures with a modern content.
When I got a brief from Levi Spirit holiday resort in Lapland to design it’s interiors with Bonden products, the most important thing was to find a way to help the visitors to sense the uniqueness of the nearby nature, silence and serenity through the textiles. To make the visitors feel relaxed and empowered during and after the visit and make them understand, that they are visiting a place which will leave unforgettable moments and memories.
In LeviSpirit Bonden hand made 100% Finnish lamb wool blankets are in every sleeping room and in the living room. Wool blankets can be even taken outside as a shawl when staying by the fireplace of the outdoor terrace. Bonden 100% wool felt cushions in different colors are placed in the sofa corners of LeviSpirit livingroom to make the interior cozy and functional too due to wool felt's healing properties. Just imagine returning indoors from the Nordic freeze, leaning your back on a felt cushion and feel your circulatory system liven up and warming you up.
100% wool was a natural choice to use as the main material of Levi Spirit interiors. It fits nicely to different spaces and it serves well different needs too. It is ecological, comfortable and breathable material, which has acoustic-, fire proof- and even healing properties. There is no better material than 100 % wool in such weather conditions as Lapland has.
LeviSpirit was chosen as one of the top 20 winter destination by Times Magazine.
