Genius loci

The geographic and historic context of Peru is the inspiration behind the newly refurbished interiors of the JW Marriot Lima. Carried out by the studio Raimundo Morales & Associates

The colours of the sea in their multiple hues, the dense patterns of the rocks, the green of the land cultivated with vineyards. The geographic and historic context of Peru is the inspiration behind the newly refurbished interiors of the JW Marriot Lima hotel. Carried out by the studio Raimondo Morales & Associates, the design aimed to highlight the native features and atmosphere of the country.

The aesthetic result is highly successful, including the contribution made by the company Alpi with its collection of woods that faithfully reproduce the various species and their natural characteristics, thanks to a high-end sartorial culture and state-of-the-art industrial processes.

The Alpi Xilo Walnut Flamed series by Piero Lissoni for example reproduces the warm and welcoming brown of Canaletto walnut inside the cafe, sushi bar, concierge and lobby, softening and refining the grain and nuances of the wood, achieving a stylish and contemporary result.

Also in the sushi bar, the Alpi Sushi brown wood pattern, made to a design by the Campana brothers, clads the volumes with a unconventional and highly decorative result. A spiral graphic pattern that is very effective is created through the use and contrast of gold and brown.

In addition to the communal areas, the interiors of the rooms and access corridors also present a strong textural quality, here more Nordic and familiar with Alpi Oak wood that reproduces the natural feel of oak with its colour and striped grain.
