|Hotel|Six Senses|Designer|Patricia Urquiola. First of all, Patricia Urquiola is not an Italian designer, but a Spanish designer. Therefore, you can still feel that her design is not so "Italian." Compared to the expressiveness of "Italian" style, her understanding and application of color are more primitive and relaxed. Secondly, this Six Senses, which opened in 2023, is the first Six Senses to open in a city. They will subsequently open in London and Milan, bringing "vacation" as a way of lodging into bustling cities. It is precisely for this reason that, after inquiring, I learned that this Six Senses does not have a hidden room. Some people describe the design of this hotel as too girly. I find this view hard to agree with. If everything in the world does have yin and yang, then the earth is "female." She nurtures and nourishes everything. Then nature is "female." The reddish-brown of the earth, the oily green of plants, and the plain white of cotton and linen are the original and true appearances of all things. Describing design with "girlishness" is somewhat gender-opposed. Imagine if such maternal and healing designs were in a patriarchal society without equal speech and respect for design, they would be difficult to implement and see. Although the hotel clearly has defects in its layout and functional use, it is still extremely touching as a response, a promise, and a realization. The use of large areas of travertine, combined with blurred metal surfaces and the selection of artworks from a unique female perspective, makes this hotel the softest and most inclusive existence in the city of Rome, unlike the city filled with hard marble.
