Hospitality 2025 – The Hospitality Show, a B2B event dedicated to restaurant and hotel operators scheduled for February 3-6, 2025, renews its commitment to inclusive and accessible hospitality with the second edition of ‘Di ognuno,’ a multi-year project developed in collaboration with Lombardini22 and Village for all – V4A.
Focus on inclusive breakfast room
After the successful 2023 starring the reception, this year the experiential area explores an essential, central and shared moment: breakfast. The “Everyone’s” inclusive breakfast room aims to demonstrate how thoughtful design can transform accessibility needs into spatial abilities, making breakfast a truly inclusive experience for all people, regardless of their needs.
At Hospitality 2025 the area, in the center of Hall C2, will offer food for thought and concrete solutions, showing how it is possible to design an environment capable of overcoming architectural barriers. All thanks to accessible pathways, height-adjustable tables, and clear and legible signage. Not forgetting how to promote sensory inclusion, with acoustics and lighting designed to respond to different sensitivities and create a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere.
The space will also make suggestions on how to meet dietary needs, with a proposal that takes into account intolerances, allergies, and ethical and personal choices, accompanied by simple, easy and detailed information.
“The project investigates inclusivity in every detail and from all angles, considering not only the physical aspects of each person, guest or hospitality professional, but also sensory, cultural and dietary aspects. With Di Ognuno we want to show how it is possible to create beautiful, functional and inclusive spaces, capable of welcoming every guest and generating social and economic value,” is the comment of Alessandra Albarelli, general manager of Riva del Garda Fierecongressi.
Comfort and discomfort on display
The space at Hospitality 2025 https://hospitalityriva.it/it will be divided into two areas representing comfort and discomfort, guiding visitors through a direct comparison of uncomfortable situations and comfortable spaces. This is to highlight the everyday obstacles related to non-inclusive design and the design solutions that make people perceive how the breakfast area can become a welcoming environment that offers well-being and accessibility for all, eliminating physical and mental barriers.
The design of the experiential area was designed with ESG principles in mind in both the use and choice of materials. This is complemented by a neuroscientific approach to enhance the perception of well-being in spaces with effective arrangement of elements, flows and experience design, with solutions that take into account everyone’s wants and needs and the inclusion of sensory activators such as Lighting Design, Olfactive Design and Acoustic Design.
