Fabio Novembre 2Kritiki characterize the style as Fabio Novembro nartsisticheskoe Baroque. Its the "other", expressive and playful style is ideal for interior entertainment industry. His interiors - a mixture of neobarochnoy luxury, kitsch and classic quotes. It is always a challenge, provocation, mystery, intrigue and, at the same time, poetics.
Do Fabio particular relevance to the mosaics, virtually no one of his project is not complete without her, often mosaic strew the floor space, a smooth transition to the wall and ceiling. Fabio makes her whole architectural composition and almost pictorial panels. This effect of luxury and a skill in working with mosaic did not seek one from the time of the Gaudi.




in nightclub Divina ( 2001), decorated Fabio Novembro with Lorenzo De Nicola and Carlo Formizano, undulating ceiling corridor paved with mosaic mirror Bisazza. Rounded walls dimly lit room are covered with a mosaic of pink and violet shades.

designer challenge and at the same time caters to the prevailing conventional tastes, creating a hedonistic "elixir" of luxury and chic. Boutique CROCOLOOP (2000) - a clear example. Its architecture and interior design combines the features of a radical design, minimalism and surrealism. This is one of the recent samples, cocktail trends, ideas, materials, decoration. Decor - masterfully stylized crocodile skin Mosaic Company BISAZZA, covering the walls, ceilings, floors. Stylish stepped windows in the wall and the central demonstration tables made of transparent plexiglass demonstrate the concept of modern luxury, elegant, refined and restrained.
The forming principle of the giant "loop" is the main and in some interior parts, and large-scale spatial modules. Thus, the loop wall "shelves" are handbags, wallets, business card holders, wallets. A central tables are under a kind of "loop", a stylized giant "alcove", which forms the main panorama and accessories, and of the interior. Hence the name CROCOLOOP - «Crocodile loop».
Fabio Novembre 4Veliky maestro design of the twentieth century, Alessandro Mendini praised the work of Fabio Novembro, especially boutique CROCOLOOP. According Mendini, Fabio understands that a successful design is something more than a trendy image and choosing the right brand.
Completely different Fabio Novemre appeared in the work on the interiors of the old hotel Li Cuncheddi in a coastal village on the island of Sardinia. Built almost forty years ago, the hotel reopened in May 2000, saving the Mediterranean aroma and flavor, Novembro ocovpemenil space hotel, making it the most functional and convenient for orientation. Architect simplifies the layout of the first floor: on the ground confused lobbies and corridors open almost whole empty space, but not exclusive, at the same time, unexpected perspectives and discoveries. By alternating tight corners and sweeping curves, Novembro gave white hotel interior clarity and completeness with color and light accents. Design bar counter in the lobby lounge divides into two parts: new - smooth, concise, with a few accents of color and neon, and "village", with mosaic-covered steps, seats, wooden rafters and sea view. Rooms at the hotel made a very simple, but still have a few original parts. The tables and headboards are enclosed in a frame of horizontal and vertical mirrors, designed to expand the space. In the dressing room - round corners and lights near the floor. Huge shower with circular curtain inventive architect hung sternly in the center, and all other amenities distributed at the corners.
The Hotel Vittoria (2004) Fabio let down the hall a huge, unwinding a roll of silver brocade with floral pattern: fabric from the wall down on the counter registration, then on the floor, where does a new round. And all this luxury, it appears, is created from a mosaic. Coils of this design is repeated and the spiral standing in the lobby couch - another masterpiece from Novembro.




Many designers are now turning to organic forms and floral motives, but in the hands of Fabio Novembre oniFabio 5pulsiruyut life and exude an abundance. 'Organic characteristic of my whole architecture, not because I had planned, perhaps, I still remember the mother's abdomen. Our first house - it is always the womb. In a sense, I'm still there, and I am looking for things that are soft and comfortable, rounded and sensual ».
It is no coincidence, many of the physiological Novembro frankly: already mentioned Divina Club is known for his giant murals of naked; couple widely spaced legs lined entrance in Anna Molinari boutique in London, the ceiling in the cafe Shu also the hands of huge size.




addition Fellini films the main source of his inspiration Novembro calls a woman's body.

" Nihilist and provocateur, has long outdone Philippe Starck for his scandalous statements and photo, Fabio Novembro believes that "only love can help us remain human. Love - the energy of the universe, with the help beating heart of the world. And the architecture is similar to love: "Because, like love, is the last true means of communication without intermediaries.
