Luxury hospitality and collectible design converge in an unprecedented collaboration as EDITION Hotels partners with Sotheby’s and jewellery designer Sarah Ysabel Narici to present Verdant Reverie: The Gem of the Alps at The Lake Como EDITION. Conceived as a singular experience, the collaboration blurs the boundaries between travel, art, and craftsmanship, offering a deeply immersive expression of modern luxury rooted in one of Europe’s most storied landscapes .
At the heart of the experience is a sculptural necklace created by Narici’s design studio DYNE, whose fluid form mirrors the movement and shoreline of Lake Como itself. Rendered in yellow gold and inlaid with mottled jade in rich green tones, the piece captures the lake’s natural poetry through contemporary design. Much like the hotel it accompanies, the necklace balances modernity with timeless elegance, serving as both wearable artwork and lasting memento.
The journey unfolds at The Lake Como EDITION, one of the most anticipated openings in the EDITION portfolio. Guests are invited to experience the property during its inaugural season, staying within its most elevated residential-style accommodations. Designed with Calacatta marble, refined custom furnishings, and restored French balconies, the spaces open onto panoramic views of Lake Como and the Bellagio hills, creating a sense of quiet grandeur defined by restraint rather than spectacle.
Wellbeing forms an essential part of the narrative through a tailored experience at the hotel’s longevity-focused spa. Drawing on ancient rituals and advanced biohacking philosophies, the programme reflects EDITION’s approach to holistic luxury—where restoration of mind and body is seamlessly integrated into the stay. The experience is designed to feel intuitive and deeply personal, echoing the calm rhythm of the surrounding landscape.
Culinary expression further anchors the collaboration in place. A dining journey led by Mauro Colagreco introduces guests to a philosophy of circular gastronomy, guided by seasonality, sustainability, and a profound connection to nature. Set within the hotel’s signature restaurant, the experience transforms dining into a dialogue between territory, creativity, and contemporary technique.
Beyond the hotel, Lake Como itself becomes part of the story. A private exploration across its emerald waters reveals historic villas, dramatic coastlines, and hidden perspectives, offering a curated encounter with the region’s cultural and natural heritage. Thoughtful details throughout the journey reinforce the idea that luxury today lies not in excess, but in access, intention, and meaning.
With Verdant Reverie, EDITION and Sotheby’s reaffirm a shared vision of modern luxury—one that values craftsmanship, creativity, and emotional connection. Set against the timeless beauty of Lake Como, the collaboration stands as a collectible experience in its own right, where design, place, and storytelling come together to create something both artful and unforgettable.
