For this reason (among several others), NOMOS is in many ways an “anti-hotel” – a sliver of slow living in a city that is constantly in motion. Offering a new perspective on hospitality, Timi describes it as a series of “raw rooms”. The design is a sermon in paring back, and is centred on natural materials including stone, wood, metal, clay and terracotta. In an antidote to the “more is more” decor that has become fashionable in many new hotels, NOMOS represents a conceptual, radically restrained approach, where value is given to emptiness and a sober monumentality. “I have always sought a narrative that could reveal the simple, pure emotional connection between people, spaces and materials,” Timi explains. “It is the primordial thread of how we relate to nature, and so, at NOMOS, every creation is handmade in-house, and aims to express the beauty of a history that it carries forward.”
