Individually Designed, Never Off-the-Shelf
When we refurbished Stoneaorbit in 2014, the brief was simple: no two rooms should be interchangeable. Each space takes its design cue from a different facet of Madrid — a Velázquez palette in one, the geometric Moorish tilework of the Real Casa de Correos in another, the warm ochre plasterwork found in Lavapiés in a third. Every room has original artwork commissioned from Madrid-based painters, blackout curtains hand-sewn by a workshop in Carabanchel, and a rainfall shower with locally made stone fittings. The furniture is a mix of restored antiques and pieces made to order by a joiner in Vallecas. None of it was purchased from a hospitality catalogue.
