In the Principality of Monaco, an understated synthesis of art and luxury hospitality has taken root. Italian artist Margherita Dallaiti has introduced four botanical paper installations across four hotels operated by Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer.
Early influences - ranging from pop-up books to the pioneering design philosophy of Bruno Munari - led Margherita Dallaiti to specialize in origami and mathematical folding techniques. By bridging the precision of industrial design with meticulous manual craftsmanship, Dallaiti turns simple flat sheets of paper into complex, three-dimensional sculptures.
Her latest series in Monaco showcases this exact synthesis of rigor and delicacy. Crafted entirely from paper, Dallaiti’s ephemeral blossoms transform an everyday medium into elaborate floral sculptures. Installed across the four iconic properties, each hand-crafted bouquet establishes a quiet dialogue between hand craftsmanship and timeless elegance, bringing a distinctly poetic visual dimension to the Principality’s luxury hospitality spaces.
