INSPIRED BY THE WABI-SABI AESTHETIC AND WAY OF LIFE
The interior design inspiration at Rosso draws from traditional Japanese principles. Wabi-sabi is a way of living that celebrates finding beauty in imperfections and embracing the natural cycles of growth and decay.
Here, the past and present blend seamlessly, where tradition meets modernity. This balance is key to making Rosso a distinctive small hotel with an exceptional interior design concept in the German countryside.
Rosso combines neutral colors, open spaces, lime-plastered high walls, and wooden-beamed ceilings that shape serene, neat, and functional spaces. The interiors at Rosso foster the ideal atmosphere to inspire moments of leisure, relaxation, and calm.
Sustainable materials, including recycled wood, bamboo, jute, stone, steel, and glass, are harmoniously integrated throughout the property, creating a soothing ambiance.
Contrasts are fundamental to Rosso's character—new elements coexist with older ones, and varied textures contribute to a harmonious overall feel. Handpicked vintage furniture from Tuscany and Bavaria, modern brass bathtubs, bamboo hanging chairs, linen textiles, and Moroccan-style rugs lend a unique identity to the interiors.
