Caseto di Elva hut

A HUT THAT WANTS TO KEEP ITS MOUNTAIN ROOTS.

To realize the interior furnishings we had the opportunity to use the wood recovered from the hut itself at the time of renovation. We extract a more than 200 years ago old Larch from the woods surrounding the house… this unique Larch with unusually dark, almost purplish tones, has been used to make the kitchen and other elements… the result is surprising!
The models designed to build beds and the living area are in line with Alpine traditions. However, bizarre elements are not missing, such as the large hexagonal LED chandelier above the kitchen table: although not traditional, its presence is not disturbing, but fills an otherwise bare ceiling.
