“In our projects, we combine comfort with durability and nobility. That’s why stone is indispensable in interiors. It brings a sense of power matched with naturalness. In the case of VIVI SPA, it has been harmoniously integrated into the environment, blending naturally with the other elements.”

The VIVI SPA wellness center, designed by AB + Partners and located in the Toro Center complex in Chisinau, is a relaxation paradise that challenges conventional aesthetics and transforms limited natural light into a distinctive element of the project. The material selection, from walls reminiscent of a starry sky in the corridors, to the checkerboard ceiling in the reception that simulates the intensity of sunlight, aims for a sensory and emotional impact. Nature is integrated into the environment, with lush indoor terraces, wooden furniture with leather upholstery, and a reception counter that evokes the enduring solidity and grandeur of rock.
Inside the wellness center, naturalness is the true protagonist, with strategic openings near the outer walls allowing guests to enjoy panoramic views during pool baths or treatments in the cosmetology rooms. The Florim collections used in these areas are of clear natural inspiration, with Timeless Travertino chosen for the flooring and the imposing open book decor of the I Classici collection in Statuario A+B variant in 6mm and Glossy finish for the cladding. Common areas, on the other hand, feature dark tones to create an enveloping atmosphere. Here, Natural Stone in Coal color was chosen for the floors and for the pool, and B&W Marble Mosaic 3x3 in matte black for the walls, concluding an aesthetic challenge that brings intimacy and sophistication to every detail of the project.
