Hotel Risorgimento

In planning the refurbishment and extension of the Hotel Risorgimento in Lecce, architect Luca Scacchetti took his lead entirely from impressions and notions formed during initial surveys of the site. A work of imagination, recounting a place of decorations and clear lights, where Eastern promise rubs shoulders with Renaissance certainty, 17th century flights of fancy and the vagaries of time, eating away at soft stone as keenly as a contemporary sculptor.

iGuzzini was involved in all aspects of the lighting installation, both for interiors and for external areas of the hotel. A special version of the Y Light was produced for the guest rooms, as well as standard and table lamps made to designs by the architect, Luca Scacchetti.

Recessed LED fixtures were also created for the bedside tables of the guest rooms. With a view to minimising the visual impact of lighting fixtures, recessed Light Shed-units were also installed in the bathrooms.
In the entrance hall, recessed Pixel Plus units are concealed in the wood cladding. Another new feature: the entire ground floor lighting, including hall, sun lounge and conference room, is managed using the “Scene Equalizer” system.

The sun lounge is also lit biodynamically, using Sivra Compact sources, whilst for the skylight, ColourWoody fixtures are used to produce coloured light.
The restaurant and wine bar are fitted with recessed floor units: Light Up Walk Professional and Linealuce.

The façade is illuminated using Linealuce with Led sources, having a warm colour temperature.
