NH Hotel Fiera Milano

Dominique Perrault - NH Fiera Milano Towers, 2008

The towers of the NH Hotel Fiera di Milano are located a short distance from the Rho-Pero exhibition center, opposite the main entrance. The pinnacle of the creative verve of Dominique Perrault, an internationally renowned French architect, are two gigantic monoliths with a sober and controlled geometry in glossy black, inclined 5 degrees from the vertical, which house a total of 400 rooms classified as four stars. Perrault's minimalist vocation is best expressed in the refined treatment of the external skin of the buildings, made up entirely of ventilated walls perforated with irregular openings that underline their homogeneity but also their subtle tension. The elements that make up the facing, completely with hidden anchoring, are the result of a successful collaboration between the designer and Marazzi Engineering, which supplied a special product upon request, perfectly in line with the stylistic canons of the French architect and his constant aptitude for experimenting with materials and their evocative power. The result is Jolly Black, a large format slab (50 x 100 cm) made up of a porcelain stoneware base covered with a layer of black glass ceramic.
