Design Hotel On The Swiss Alps | The OMNIA | Zermatt | Switzerland | Designed By Ali Tayar
THE OMNIA is the contemporary interpretation of the traditional mountain lodge. Here in the Swiss Alps,
the mountain lodge, a quintessentially American concept, has been reinvented for its European environment by the New York based architect Ali Tayar.
This dialogue between two cultures was the starting point for the design. While the materials and the craftsmanship reflect the tradition of the Valais, the furnishings are inspiredby a warm, handcrafted modernism. This era in 20th century design is revisited in THE OMNIA in the works of
a group of European born, American designers whose European roots heavily influenced the American scene.
They include Mies van der Rohe, Raymond Loewy, Vladimir Kagan and Eero Saarinen.
