82nd International Film Festival 2025
For the fifth consecutive year, Atlas Concorde and its brand Atlas Plan confirm their presence at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival. Once again this year, the iconic Terrace of the Hotel Excelsior will be transformed into a space of excellence, becoming a showcase of contemporary style and design.
The Hotel Excelsior on the Venice Lido, inaugurated in 1908, is much more than an elegant five-star hotel: it is a cultural monument and historical symbol of the lagoon city. Always linked to the origins of the Venice Film Festival, the hotel is a venue for meetings between artists and personalities from the film world. Its majestic architecture blends with refined and comfortable interiors, creating a unique atmosphere, suspended between tradition and innovation.
In this extraordinary context, “La Terrazza by Atlas Concorde”, comes to life, an exclusive place with a direct view of the sea, conceived as a privileged meeting point for film talents and celebrities. Here, the fitting project curated by Park perfectly integrates with the glamour of the event, offering a refined space for events, meetings and moments under the banner of elegance and Italian design culture.
La Terrazza by Atlas Concorde: architecture and cinema on stage at the Excelsior
From 27 August to 6 September, on the occasion of the 82nd edition of the Venice Film Festival, the Park studio has created a site-specific installation that redefines the Terrace of the Hotel Excelsior as an immersive and symbolic work, celebrating the profound bond between cinema and Italian architecture: 'La Terrazza by Atlas Concorde'.
The space is transformed into a true contemporary scenography: the material surfaces become protagonists, evoking the timeless beauty of Italian architecture, which has always inspired the visual aesthetics of the great national cinema. Each design element is conceived as part of a scenic backdrop, where Atlas Plan, Atlas Concorde and Atlas Concorde Habitat products represent the actors on stage. The setting draws inspiration from the principles of balance, symmetry and harmony that characterise historic Italian palazzi. This refined architectural composition thus becomes a stage for vision and culture, where the material tells its own story through the language of design, in a continuous dialogue between past and present.
The Atlas Concorde brand designed the terrace counter using Atlas Plan Taj Mahal and Sky Stone large format slabs. The soft tones of the stone and marble effect surfaces give a sober and rigorous style to the installation, adding elegance to the surroundings. The use of similar materials in terms of materiality and design matches well with the finishes of the Manhattan and Tratto collections by Atlas Concorde Habitat used in the furnishings.
The result is a surface that combines elegance and character: the effect is visually refined, thanks to the delicate veining inspired by natural stone, but at the same time deep, capable of transmitting a feeling of solidity and prestige, perfectly in line with the exclusive atmosphere of the terrace.
The presence of prestigious brands made in Italy enhances the central role of Italian design on the international scene: Artemide, with its portable lamps such as the iconic Takku with black shades, adds a touch of ambience and warmth to the room. Modulnova, with its kitchen, represents a perfect balance between advanced functionality and refined aesthetics. Fast provides elegant seating offering maximum comfort without compromising on contemporary and elegant design.
The aesthetics of Atlas Plan intertwine with the elegance of the film festival to create a meeting place where design deeply enriches the social and cultural experience of the event.
