inStaLLatiOn Interna Contract’s specialised personnel carry out and ensure the correct installation and fitting of all joinery works, carpets, marble, ceramics, plasterboard and iron. Interna Contract site managers guarantee the perfect installation of the contracted work and coordination between their work and other companies on site.
aFter-SaLeS aSSiStanCeInterna Contract gives a warranty for the products supplied for a period which is contractually agreed for each project. Interna Contract is also able to offer post-sales assistance for each project, well after the warranty period has expired, thus granting the client the most competitive price and conditions. This service includes the maintenance, refurbishment and/or replacement of “custom-made” obsolete products.
Interna Contract offers its clients a very innovative service which allows its users to check on-line the progress of every order placed. Once an order has been finalized, clients are assigned a username and password to access the private area on Interna Contract’s website.
The opening page of this area displays a list of all the tasks and activities planned for the completion of the project, along with the production deadlines for each product. Interna Contract aims to provide its clients with an “open” system based on maximum transparency, and where information is updated in real time.Clients are able to track the exact production status of their orders as if they were actually watching the production process: they can see if a certain product is being varnished, is ready for despatch, or has already been shipped.
Interna Contract works on a turnkey basis. This means that the company takes total responsibility for its clients’ projects, from initial ideas to their actual completion. Interna Contract’s work ranges from arranging financing to producing the final designs, from production to logistics, and from installation to testing and after-sales assistance - with the guarantee of strict adherence to quality standards, and the price and delivery terms agreed with clients. The main phases for each project are as follows:
FinanCinG The contract industry involves extremely large and complex investments. For Interna Contract, it is crucial to be able to offer its support to clients in the form of both medium and long-term project financing. Over the years, Interna Contract Financial Department has acquired a significant amount of experience, which means that they are able to provide clients with different financing options.
SHOP DraWinGSThe Interna Contract design team, made up of experienced architects, designers and technicians, works on the outline project and carefully draws up the designs for each individual piece of furniture. Key design criteria always focus on functionality, quality of materials, sturdiness, aesthetics, cost engineering, and comply with national and international standards.
PrOjeCt ManaGeMent Project managers at Interna Contract are the clients’ main point of contact throughout the execution of the project. They plan and monitor every stage of the order, coordinate the company’s various activities and make sure that for each project the three fundamental objectives are achieved: agreed product details and standards are complied with, delivery terms are kept to, and budgets are respected.
LOGiStiCS Interna Contract Logistics Department is able to select the best carriers and the most appropriate means of transport to optimize delivery times and costs and to meet clients’ deadlines. All transportation conforms to international security and sanitary rules and procedures for the carriage of wooden materials and products, as well as highly important protection procedures against moisture, high humidity, or excessive dryness.
PrODUCtiOn anD QUaLitY COntrOLThrough its many years of experience, Interna Contract has built up a solid, productive know-how, and can now guarantee flawless quality at highly competitive prices. This applies to both large scale production, made with cutting-edge technology and machine-ry, as well as small-scale or even one off custom-made items, characterized by non-standard shapes and sizes, hand-painted or engraved details, and special finishes. During production rigorous quality controls are carried out by Interna Contract specialists to ensure that each final piece is crafted to perfection.

The high level of organization and the years of experience behind Interna Contract mean that we are extremely well-equipped to handle all types of commisions, however large or complex and wherever they may be located. Our high profile clients portfolio which spans the globe, from Europe to Asia and from Australia to America, is a testament not only to our abilities but also to the quality and popularity of our exclusive products.
interna COntraCt DiViSiOnS
Interna Contract began its career in 1989 in the luxury hotel sector, and has since achieved a position of excellence which extends well beyond this sector. Interna now supplies exclusive furniture, furni-shings, and decorations on a turnkey basis for all sorts of projects inclu-ding designer stores, restaurants, bars and pubs, banks, offices, casinos, private clinics, yachts, health and fitness centres, museums and private residences. In the luxury sector every different building or project has its own particular demands. Each project requires specialist know-how and technological equipment to manufacture singular pieces of furnitu-re, specially designed for the environment they are to furnish and to help create a unique ambience. Hence the creation of Interna Contract’s specialised Divisions. In Divisions our highly-skilled and experienced project managers team up with the most qualified specialists, technicians, and designers to ensure the perfect handling of each and every complex project and to make the final result an absolute success.
Interna Contract Hotels Division, started by Interna in 1989, has now established a truly unrivalled market position, and has completed more than 100 projects all over the world for the most important luxury hotel chains: Hyatt, Marriot, Hilton, Westin, Radisson, Four Seasons and The Ritz-Carlton to name but a few. Hotels tend to reflect their surroundings and their cultural and historical inheritance, The Park Hyatt, Milan, with its spectacular lobby lounge La Cupola, and white travertine marble seems to have absorbed the sensations, sounds and even the colours of Milan and its people. Hotel interior design can sometimes mean restoring the splendour of a historical building, and our Hotels Division excels in the painstaking work which this type of undertaking demands, as the spectacular Villa Feltrinelli on Lake Garda and the Hotel Des Indes in The Hague, The Netherlands can attest.

Over the last few years a renaissance in bar and restaurant culture has given architects and designers the opportunity to pursue a whole new realm of ideas, to experiment with materials, with light and colours to provide a dramatic backdrop to everyday life. Eating and drinking have become synonymous with fun and escapism, and there are endless ways for interior spaces to achieve this effect. Interna Contract is proud to have created some truly magnificent interiors for this exciting sector. For the world-famous Café de la Paix in Paris, one of our Bars & Restaurants Division’s most recent projects, Interna created sumptuous furnishings in mahogany with lacquered or gold-leaf inlays and superb bronze decorations, to really evoke the spirit and glory of Napoleon III’s Second Empire, when this historic place was first opened. The seductive and imperial red hues of the chairs, together with the yellows and gold used in other decorative features, are truly evocative of this fascinating period in European history.

The purpose of any museum is to reveal past cultures and traditions to its visitors and to narrate complex history through a series of individual fragments. The interior design of museums plays an intrinsic role in this narrative and presents its own very particular challenges. Interna Contract Museum Division developed from the specialist production and maintenance of museum showcases and has always worked closely with exhibition curators and museum directors to ensure the long-term conservation and protection of exhibits, using microclimatic control, and to guarantee that safe-ty and security measures comply with international standards. Technical solutions that we have developed for our most prestigious clients include the use of optically coated non-reflective extra-clear laminated security glass, high-temperature epoxy-coated sheet steel, LED and fibre optic lighting, low formaldehyde panels and encoded or electronic multi-disc locking systems to interface with alarm systems.

Interna Contract Residential Division deals with unique personalities and emotions: a person’s home always reflects their aesthetic tastesas well as their individual ideas of comfort and lifestyle. Rules for the interior design in the hospitality industry do not apply to residential projects, these projects give the opportunity to really maximise personalisation especially in millwork, carpeting, draperies and lamps. Unique pieces of furniture are also given the greatest importance, eye-catching pieces to be admired for their beauty, luxury and quality of workmanship. Our manufacturing know-how and skills really come into their own in these projects: special inlay work, hand-painted pieces, engraved sections, the most difficult finishes and unusual shapes are just some of the daily challenges that our Retail Division tackle in creating the perfect living space for even the most demanding private clients and architects.

The design and creation of any interior for large yachts has to take into consideration many aspects which are unique to the marine industry and has to ensure that aesthetics are combined with functionality and safety. The work of Interna Contract Marine Division not only complies with the specifications for each project,but also with a series of international regulations for the marine sector (e.g. Lloyd, MCA). A standard feature of these projects is special requirements in the choice of materials used and special installation procedures, in compliance with fire safety regulations and anti-vibrations factors. Ecological aspects, particularly in the choice of varnishes used, must be taken into account and acoustics and lighting have to be carefully studied to guarantee maximum comfort on board.

As the competition for tourists grows more intense each year, resort and casino developers come up with a myriad of design strategies to draw the crowds. The fantastically themed mega-resorts of Las Vegas now set the standard for similar places in the rest of the world, and “stage set” style fantasy is generally the architectural and interior design style of choice. Interna Contract Leisure Division is well aware of these trends, as is demonstrated by some of its latest projects, such as the Crown Casino in Melbourne, the largest casino located outside the USA, for which we produced all furnishings.As you enter the casino, you are swallowed into the fabulous world of A Thousand and One Nights. The effect of the furnishings, materials and choice of colours is simultaneously sensual and stupefying. The visual and tactile is up-front and dazzingly audacious and shows the outstanding quality of Interna Contract products, a very special kind of “Made in Italy”.

BMW Welt is one of the first constructions to represent a new generation of buildings purpose-built for communication in the 21st century. As a place of meeting and change, BMW Welt is an ideal setting for BMW exhibitions as well as for other events in the fields of economics, politics, society and arts and culture. Here the company can communicate with its customers, friends and visitors from all over the world.

The innovative architectural project (work of the renowned firm Coop Himmelb(l)au) makes great use of light, airiness and dynamism in an enormous wave-like, slightly concave structure which resembles a cloudy sky. Supported on 11 individual pillars, it is a real challenge to the laws of statics. The interiors of the 3 restaurant areas were designed by FG stijl and perfectly complement the architectural structure. The design is clean and contemporary and makes use of an original mix of steel, glass and integrated lighting. Interna, after gaining a very tough international tender, focused its work on three different areas: the furnishing of the bistro on the first floor, the international restaurant and the balcony on the second floor and the vip restaurant club with the board room on the third floor.

The extreme complexity of the furnishing project, in particular in relation with the architec-tural structure, the short period of time for the implementation and the very high quality level required by the specialized furnishing, generated a great challenge for Interna, but a one that has been met with success. The high number of companies taking part in it, required the use of a virtual platform containing thousands of drawings and constantly updated by all the parties involved.

Located near the Olympic Stadium, where BMW headquarters and museum were alreadysituated, BMW Welt offers visitors the chance to immerse themselves in the world of motors and this most famous German brand. BMW clients can collect the cars they have ordered directly on site instead of waiting for them in dealerships and take advantage of other dedicated services. Visitors can explore the ‘leisure’ areas (exhibition hall, restaurants, shops, auditorium and more) which are part of the same complex as the museum and the BMW factory, and which are all linked by a series of suspension bridges.

The interior of the BMW Welt is just as remarkable as its architecture: offering visitors different room perspectives, easy orientation and maximum comfort and even the smallest design feature contributes to the building’s sense of uniqueness. Leitmotiv of the furnishing of all the areas is the table ‘TOTO’ by Hannes Wettstein of the Contemporary line of Interna Collection in all its forms (coffee table, side table, lamp table) and customized accordingly with the specifications of the designers.

Interna Contract created the interiors for the first citizenM hotel. Located in Amsterdam, near Schiphol Airport, the idea behind the hotel was to offer affordable luxury accommodation to “mobile citizens”: modern, independent travelers who appreciate contemporary design and user-friendly technology. The hotel, built using the “Industrial Flexible Demountable” sys-tem, consists of modular, container-like rooms (2.8x12 m). These rooms were inspired by the minimal and efficient interiors of yachts and the cabins on private jets, and are equipped with the best technology and amenities. Interna was commissioned by this new hotel chain to provide turnkey furnishings following the design created by Dutch firm Concrete. Interna was very much involved in each phase of the project, from concept and engineering, to the final finishing touches to the rooms, and all with the utmost care and attention, particu-larly in the choice of materials and finishes. Interna also supplied innovative room features like a square wall-to-wall bed, or showers, with LEDs that can be set according to personal preference. Customization was one of the main themes of this project: guests can control the lights, music, and wake-up call tunes for their room. The hotel also offers a wide choice of books, magazines, films, and a 24 hour restaurant.

Subtle and smooth colours, sand, brown, ochre and orange without forgetting the white of purity and inner calm, with precious yet primitive materials such as wood, bronze, stone, mosaic and textured ceramic. Lights which blend in with shapes.

Located in Rue de Beaux Arts, near the intellectual heart of the city, its modest façade conceals the hotel’s refurbished interiors in the flamboyant style that is so representative of Jacques Garcia. The French designer, like no other, knows how to emphasise the traditional qualities of a property and to maintain those same features in modern, luxurious splendour.

Interior designer: Patterson Buxton/AMKPeriod: 2003-2004 Client: Sete Yacht Kenora Cons.
The French philosopher Baudelaire defined the sea as a perfect balance of “harmony, beauty, luxury, calmness and voluptuousness”. The same words could have been written for this dazzling, futuristic 300-foot transatlantic yacht which is, without doubt, one of the projects we feel most proud of. As you board, you are immediately drawn to explore the yacht further and savour its many exciting design features. Light is the most overwhelming element. The lobby walls are luminous, bringing ancient Greek motifs to the fore; shining marble surfaces in the aptly named Long Bar reflect the light; the American Maple used throughout the library glows; and light cascades down the crystal-glass stairway which links all decks with the helicopter pad.From both a creative and technical point of view the yacht is an amazing achievement and the acoustic insulation is quite astounding. All outfitting was constructed to the exacting Lloyds MCA marine safety standards. The overall effect on the senses makes this particular luxury yacht a prestigious tribute to our skill, ability and to our never-ending search for aesthetic and technical perfection.

It’s all too true: immersed in a fairytale location, the villa has been restored to perfection.

Villa Feltrinelli is a historic country house property. The villa and its grand park, built in 1892 by the prominent Feltrinelli Family, served as a summer retreat. It was designed by architect Al-berico Barbiano di Belgioioso in the Liberty style, and the family commissioned intricate boiseri-es, carved wood ceilings, panels, ornate stained glass windows and delicately painted ceilings. In 1997, legendary hotelier and founder of ‘Regent International Hotels’, Bob Burns, bought the Villa, gave it new life and offers it today to demanding new travellers in search of beauty, graciousness and peace.

Grand Hyatt BerlinGermany
Interior Designer: Hannes Wettstein Period: 1998Client: Daimler Crysler AG The Grand Hyatt Berlin is situated in Marlene-Dietrich-Platz, an area of the city which underwent
complete remodelling after the fall of the Berlin Wall following the designs of Renzo Piano. The architect Rafael Moneo designed the building, while designer Hannes Wettstein created the interiors. It is an art hotel, where the design of the interiors, turnkey furnished by Interna, were carefully planned to give prevalence to and enhance the art works exhibited.

The hotel restaurants and bars have a modern and inviting allure, with carefully chosen woods and splendid use of colour. Guests find an atmosphere that is both relaxing and inspiring, where each detail has been created to combine comfort and style.
Interna furnished all the public areas, such as restaurants, lounge, bars, lift areas and meeting rooms, and provided some of the loose furniture for the guest rooms. All items are simple and have an effortless elegance that blends well with the art on display.

The clean lines and homogeneity of the colour palette create the perfect frame for the exceptional works of art displayed on the hotel walls, including pieces from the artists Julio Rondo and Corsin Fontana(previous pages). In the Presidential Suite the furniture recalls the black and white tones of the Gert Rappenecker photograph, while the simple, elegant panelling con-trasts with and enhances the modern and surprising blues of the Kurt Hofmann painting.

Park Hyatt HamburgGermany
Interior Designer: Hirsch Bedner Associates Period: 1997-1998Client: GBR Levantehaus
It was Frederick Barbarossa who exempted Hamburg from customs duty and from that moment on the city developed around its port and became a major focus for international shipping. The Park Hyatt Hotel lies in the heart of the city, on the famous Mönckebergstraße, and is housed in the Levantehaus, an art deco building that dates back to the beginning of the last century. In-terna created all the furniture for the communal areas and all the 230 guest rooms, 20 suites and 30 apartments, bringing together maritime tradition and a certain old-world charm with state-of-the-art facilities and 21st-century interior design.

The onyx top, along with the steel structure that supports it, although eye-catching, blends in well with the rest of the room, with the pale cherry-wood panelling and the variously shaped stools that complete the bar area.
To create the panelling, tables, chairs and benches, Interna worked with different materials, from cherry-wood to beech-wood and fireproof upholstery, to create a balanced whole that gives the restaurant a wonderfully relaxing atmosphere.
324 interna Contract | Park Hyatt | Hamburg interna Contract | Park Hyatt | Hamburg 325
Spacious and luminous, the rooms offer guests a perfect mix of natural materials, warm colours and all the comforts of modern technology. Cherry-wood is the material on which all the interiors are based, and its various shades play their part in creating a modern but luxury setting.
The simple luxury of the presidential suite makes the guests feel at ease and cared for. The elegance of the chosen materials and the gentle light from the outside create a comfortable and inspiring ambience.

It is claimed that the Mongols landed at Hakata Bay in 1281, close to present day Fukuoka, but that the fleet was destroyed by a typhoon before they could deploy their forces. To the Japanese, the typhoon was the kamikaze, the “Divine wind”, rising up to protect the land of the gods and over the centuries this incident created the belief that the country is sacred and inviolate. The Grand Hyatt Fukuoka, next to the Canal City Hakata complex in Fukuoka, is a spectacular 400-room hotel where Interna provided all the loose furniture in the guest rooms and in the public areas.

Japan’s kitchen, as Osaka was known during the Edo period (1600-1868), was the entrêpot for a variety of goods and food, especially rice. Today it is the country’s second most important city for finance, trade and industry. The Hyatt Regency Osaka’s 500 rooms impressively tower over the bay and the city. Interna furnished all the public areas of this hotel, and revealed its full potential by satisfying the famously rigorous Japanese quality standards.

The small armchairs, with their curved backs in beech wood and their soft lines, perfectly com-plement and enhance the elegant, minimalist architecture of the bar. The use of simple geometric forms, like the triangle of the tables, or the curves of the armchairs, interrupted only by the plush cushions, reveal the essential elegance at the core of this hotel.The delightfully shaped furniture invites the guest to sit and relax while admiring the astonishing view of the city that can be enjoyed from the glass walls of the cocktail bar located on the 26th floor. Interna supplied these remarkable beech wood chairs which blend the contemporarywith a touch of the traditional.

The design of the rooms, through the symmetry of the disposition and the soft colours of the upholstery, is the perfect frame for the view that can be enjoyed from the windows. The suites are designed to make the guest feel perfectly at ease, offering comfort in the guise of simply refined, elegant furniture. The sable tones chosen for these rooms are the perfect backdrop for the delicate fantasies and basic textures of the fabrics and upholstery, which together create such a soothing atmosphere.

Murcia is the only place on earth that Adam would recognise if he returned, according to the nineteenth century writer Augustus Hare. And when you arrive at the Hyatt Regency La Manga, nestling in 1400 acres of luxuriant Mediterranean vegetation, it really is very hard not to think of heaven. Interna was at the forefront of the restoration of the hotel and supplied all the loose furniture, crafted in a refined composite style to emphasize the underlying Moorish atmosphere, typical of the area. The prefect balance of different materials, such as wrought iron, wood and fabrics, create a warm and welcoming scene.

Hospitality Redesigned. An ever increasing number of large
international hotel chains and hoteliers investors
are discovering the enormous value of architectural
and interior design. Design is a crucial component in creating
an individual identity for hotels and a way to make them
stand out in an increasingly competitive market.
Aesthetics have, of course, always been important but
in this world of ever changing styles and tastes they are assuming
new significance. New trends in interior design have found
the perfect expressive outlet in hotels because they provide
the ideal backdrop for innovation and architectural experimenta-
tion. The hotel sector has undergone
a real transformation and is now one of the most exciting
and dynamic areas in design, encompassing simplicity
and sophistication, versatility and the avant-garde.
A human heart. At the heart of every room or building dedicated
to hospitality is the guest, each with a different personality
and different needs. Philippe Starck, design guru and initiator
of so many tendencies and ideas, recognised this many
years ago when he said that “the guest must be the actor
not the spectator.” Fashions and trends may come and go
but one belief has remained unchanged in recent years:
the importance of the individual. When this is applied
to hospitality, it means ensuring guests not just a comfortable

stay but one that feels personalised, exclusive and unique.
Hotels have begun to take on an increasingly domestic feel,
where the guest/client is made to feel at home and is given
a warm and personal welcome.
The hotel has become an environment in which to experience
moments of silence and well-being, a place for reflection
and rediscovery. This need for personalization is catered
for in large hotels through the creation of small separate worlds
in a varied typology of rooms and suites, with private dining
and meeting rooms and a myriad of other services and facilities
designed to engage, amaze and reassure the guests or stimulate
and facilitate their work. Whether travelling for business
or pleasure, guests expect to have a pleasing and enjoyable
stay in a environment which feels homely but is also beautifully
designed, a place where every comfort is catered for but
without unnecessary ostentation or frivolous services.
True luxury has come to mean intimate interiors which shun pre-
tension in favour of a subtle arousal of the senses.
The richness of the surroundings and particularly the services
on offer are increasingly designed around the target consumer.
Such spaces involve the guest on a physical, emotional
and interactive level forcing designers to consider new and more
complex aesthetic languages to express this new relationship
we have with our surroundings. When thinking in terms
of a complete project (the transformation of an empty space
into a fully-furnished entity) and the development and satisfaction
of this complex relationship between individuals and their sur-
roundings, sensory aspects, such as lighting,
colour and sound, take on an increasingly important role as do
the hotel’s staff and the way services are presented.
New hybrids. Finding a balance between building, function

and aesthetics can be difficult but results in expressions of great
individuality even when applied to new design contexts such
as the increasingly common, multi-functional area, with
all the specific new demands which such areas entail. Just as modern
society questions its values and traditions so are functions
and services now being called into question. Designers have
the opportunity to explore innovative ideas in the creation of new
hybrid spaces which combine different functions and applications.
Architectural projects and their interiors have become contempo-
rary urban landmarks and the focus of interest and taste. This new
way of seeing and designing communal areas in hotels,
as in other buildings, gives each a very individual character, so much
so that they could stand alone, independent of their surroundings.
It is in this context that we are seeing the ‘opening up’ of hotels
to the city beyond its doors as the setting for events and exhibitions.
The traditional concept of the hotel entrance area has gradually
given way to the idea of the lobby as a truly multifunctional space.
This new concept has necessitated a revolution in the organisation
of hotels, not just with regard to the services they offer but with how
spaces are used and furnished. Aesthetic expression is, however,
consistent: each interior space must be given its own identity.
We can no longer talk about interior design as a single concept;
it has become a fluid series of scenes intended to captivate the guest.
Technology plays a vital role in these new scenes, both in the appli-
cation of innovative materials and in the use of integrated
or hidden systems to simplify our daily life or offer new design
opportunities. Forget cold technicality, technology has been refined
to become an integral part of a more emotive modern style
through an approach which combines light and materials, shapes
and colours, and customised furnishings.
