Alpine Design Principles for Year-Round Interiors

A Vogue feature explores how Alpine interiors are designed for all seasons, not just winter. Key figures include Armin Fischer of Dreimeta, who designed Cervo in Zermatt with a mountain atmosphere that works in bright summer light; Ruth Kramer of Brücke 49 in Vals, who emphasizes natural materials like wood, stone, and wool; and Vanessa Macdonald of Melissa Wyndham, who notes carved wood motifs and checked fabrics. Luis Laplace designed Hauser & Wirth's Chesa Marchetta in Sils Maria with themes from local folklore, while Luke Edward Hall reimagined Hôtel Saint-Georges in Megève. Daniel Koetser of Le Grand Bellevue in Gstaad highlights regional variations across Alpine countries. The article also mentions Nicemakers, who sourced color palettes from natural landscapes for The Brecon in Adelboden, and Hadi Teherani's spa at Hotel Krallerhof in Loegang, Austria. Practical tips include using sheepskin and stone flooring.
