Hotel Interno Marche in Tolentino
Interno Marche is much more than a hotel: it is a cultural project that encapsulates the spirit of a region and the story of 60 years of interior design history, right in its name. The rooms, each unique, are inspired by the style and works of various famous designers and furnished with their furniture and decor.
The construction site (the only one in the world with GBC Historic Building and LEED for Hospitality environmental sustainability certifications) involved 70 companies, almost all from the region, and a team of over 2000 people dedicated to restoring the historic Villa Gabrielli.

Poltrona Frau is thrilled to announce that the Bay System, designed with Foster + Partners, has been honored with the prestigious iF DESIGN Award 2024.
Unveiled during the last edition of Passenger Terminal EXPO and later showcased in our Flagship Store in via Manzoni in Milan during the Salone del Mobile 2023, Bay System represents a pinnacle of design and functionality and the prestigious award from one of the world's most relevant design competitions is the proof of its success.
Held in Germany since 1954, with 9 disciplines and 81 categories, and a jury of numerous international design experts, the iF DESIGN AWARD elects a winner for each design category evaluating five criteria: Idea, Form, Function, Differentiation, and Impact. Poltrona Frau’s Bay System has received the award in the Public Design category for the Product discipline.
Bay System is versatile and suitable for commercial, transportation, educational, and healthcare spaces. Its modular seating solution, inspired by the natural forms of bays, not only redefines public seating but also seamlessly integrates technology, offering unparalleled comfort and connectivity. The system is fully disassemblable, promoting sustainability through end-of-life recycling. Its two ranges, Bay Gate and Bay Lounge, offer varying ergonomic support and privacy options. Bay Gate is designed for high-density, efficient seating while Bay Lounge provides more comfort and flexibility for longer wait times.
