CONVERSATIONS: Severine Obertelli & Lorraine Francis explore Elevated Essentialism.
There is a difference between merely visiting a place and truly getting to know it.
Minimalism is newly reinvigorated by the concept that “less is better”.
After a year of the pandemic, this idea has been explored again, with an emphasis of moving guests into their re-imagined guestroom as a sanctuary. The trend continues to move travelers away from lavish over-the-top displays of wealth to a more minimal boutique approach in design and customized guest services.
The shift to paring down to great quality essentials focuses our attention towards a well-lived life. The goal is having just enough of what you need and nothing more- while still being surrounded by comfort, beauty, nature, and meaningful human connection.
