STRAF for this occasion, has selected various international designers to showcase their new projects in the common areas of the hotel (hall, event room and restaurant). These decorative items will also be available for our clients to enjoy. MEET MY PROJECT is an international design fair founded in 2009 by Francesco Pirrello. Its mission is to promote contemporary design and creativity connecting professionals within the field of: designers, producers, distributors and architects.

It stands near the Duomo, in the center of the city, holding true to the idea of hospitality through personalized and careful service, yet informal. Its exceptional, yet minimalist, hi-tech functionality, the warmth and intimacy of its sourroundings, created with unusual materials influenced by industrial furniture and Arte Povera, as well as its concepts of recycling and experimentation, are what make it a special place. The street bar STRAF provides live music and dj sets during its happy hour. The numerous artistic initiatives tied to music, dance, fashion and design, which have been held here throughout the years, make the STRAFhotel&bar a unique place in Italy as well as worldwide.
