The suite takes its name from the Hubert Kostner piece ‘express mail’ which adorns the material covered wall of the room. Inspired by a popular stamp used in the past to ensure rapid holiday greetings, Kostner took the classic motifs of the enchanting landscape pictured on a postcard and carved them into a solid piece of wood polished with gleaming lacquer.
The rooms lighting scene is dominated by Cyrcus Nebula pendants from In-es. Artdesigns Matt collection. The pendants have a smooth, even, marmoreal look thanks to the use of Nebulite, an innovative materiel made of resins and fibres that enhance the lights brightening power. Nebula’s clean and linear design matches perfectly with the suites modern and minimal styling.
