Valentina Autiero’s MEDO B&B Redefines Mediterranean Design in Vico Equense
The latest issue of Glocal Design Magazine, the 89th edition, is titled 'Visionarias del espacio' and highlights 15 women architects and interior designers from Mexico. The magazine features collector covers designed by Prince Láuder and Jimena Estíbaliz. In Italy, architect Valentina Autiero has revitalized an 18th-century palace in Vico Equense into a bed and breakfast named MEDO | Dimora Mediterranea, which embodies a fresh take on Mediterranean aesthetics. The term 'Medo' originates from ancient Greek, signifying self-care. Autiero worked alongside hoteliers to maintain the building's original characteristics. The B&B boasts three separate suites surrounding a central courtyard, complete with bespoke headboards and artisanal lamps. Additionally, the lounge reflects Mediterranean culture, while the bathroom showcases vibrant handmade tiles and a freestanding bathtub, making MEDO a tribute to modern design.
