  • 3XN Bella Sky Hotel
    The newly opened <a href="http://inhabitat.com/bella-sky-hotels-dramatic-leaning-towers-to-open-this-week-in-copenhagen/">Bella Sky Hotel</a> is impressive on the outside — it's the largest hotel in Scandinavia and it boasts a wild 15 degree lean -- but the inside is equally as unique. The furnishings are all natural, the lobby is covered in a huge living wall, and a huge LED centerpiece subtly changes the inside light to mimic the shifting <a href="http://inhabitat.com/index.php?s=denmark">Danish</a> sky. In fact, the entire design by <a href="http://www.3xn.dk/">3XN</a> is designed to evoke Northern Europe's connection with the natural world.

    The lobby encapsulates the organic nature of the building's <a href="http://inhabitat.com/interiors/">interior design</a>.

  • 3XN Bella Sky Hotel
    A prominent <a href="http://inhabitat.com/largest-green-wall-in-north-america-to-be-unveiled-tomorrow/">living wall</a> wrapping the lobby core sets the mood of the space.

    The wall is a natural air filter and helps maintain humidity while acting as a striking backdrop.

  • 3XN Bella Sky Hotel
    The lobby is lit by a centerpiece custom designed by 3XN. The Bella Chandelier is made with over 7000<a href="http://inhabitat.com/philips-to-unveil-the-worlds-first-led-replacement-for-the-75-watt-bulb/"> LED lamps</a> which gradually change from a warm to a cool white to evoke the changing sky.

    Guests check in via mobile reception desks, which lend an informal air to the hotel services.

    That informality continues with the choice of materials -- some walls are clad in warm toned wood.
    7
  • 3XN Bella Sky Hotel
    The contemporary edge of the design is softened by an array of <a href="http://inhabitat.com/5-tips-to-green-your-living-space-from-zem-joaquin/2/">natural finished materials</a>. The all carpets are wool and linens 100% cotton.

    Of course, the dynamic slated windows and spaces push the envelope to keep the design edge intact wherever guests go.
