Makramé
Can history become hospitality without becoming a museum?
Makramé transforms two centuries of history into living hospitality.
Makramé began with a simple conviction: history should not be restored into perfection, but welcomed into everyday life.
Rather than covering the traces of time, we allowed them to shape the project.
Working mostly on site, the design evolved through dialogue with the existing building, its imperfections and its surprises.
New interventions were reduced to the essential, while art, reclaimed objects and carefully preserved layers became inseparable from the architecture itself.
Even the porcelain cups were gathered over time rather than purchased all at once, quietly becoming part of Makramé's identity.
