RYDGES, MELBOURNE
by Luchetti Krelle
A completely overhauled look steered by the renowned Luchetti Krelle for the Rydges, Melbourne, features soothing interiors of natural stone and pale timber complemented by loads of natural light. Located in the heart of Melbourne’s CBD, the hotel features suites that are complemented by an abundance of natural light, while earthen tones including eucalypt greens and rusty ochres refresh the senses.
Mutually designed to enliven interactions and support a sense of calm, a mood-enhancing palette inspired by an Australian lifestyle vernacular featuring expressive stone and timber adds tranquil layers of luxury within the hotel’s fully revamped suites and public spaces.
Phillip Jeffries Vinyl Silk and Abaca is featured in the executive suites, translating the elegance of grasscloths into luxurious performance vinyl. This sophisticated wallcovering has a handcrafted look that provides a rich, textured surface that’s both opulent and capable of withstanding the demands of high-traffic areas.
The Rydges lobby area features Phillip Jeffries Abaca Harvest, offering a rich tapestry of saturated hues in a matte, textured grasscloth wallcovering. This wallcovering is ideal for adding depth and character to interiors, being a testament to the beauty of artisanal authenticity in modern design.
