Hostel MAMI Nominated on German Design Award

Our design for ‘Hostel MAMI’ has been nominated for German Design Award 2020. The hostel, apart from being a modern design using colors and perforated steel sheets to define and characterize different spaces it also incorporates objects of the traditional Albanian lifestyle, such as stools, instruments and round dining tables.
All of these elements are painted and used as objects to give more life and identity to the rooms and hallways of the hostel. This was done due to the fact that hostels are usually frequented by foreigners and designing in this way provides a modern and comfortable stay as well as a first interaction and exposure to key elements of Albanian tradition.
