At ARTIEM Hotels, we firmly believe that every action counts in the preservation of our planet. For this reason, we share a new and exciting project that reflects our commitment to the Circular Economy, in collaboration with the artisan talent of Menorca.

Transforming microplastics into art

Imagine waking up in one of our rooms in Menorca, surrounded by the natural beauty of the island, and finding an elegant tray that is not only visually appealing, but also tells a story of transformation and environmental awareness. This tray is the result of a joint effort to give a second life to previously discarded materials.

It all started with a question: how can we give something back to the environment that has given us so much? At ARTIEM Hotels, that question led us to collaborate with Scøne Design, a local workshop with a deep respect for sustainability. Pablo Vizmanos, the soul behind Scøne, has dedicated his project to transforming what others consider waste into functional art. In his hands, the microplastics that once choked our seas are mixed with cement and turned into sturdy, useful and beautiful objects. To this we have added ARTIEM's old soap containers, discarded in recent years.

 

The value of the local: Scøne Design and the art of sustainability

Scøne Design, a local artisan from Menorca, has been key to this project. With a passion for sustainability, he has worked tirelessly to integrate microplastics and recycled containers with cement, creating a final product that is both resilient and aesthetically unique.

Each tray is not just an object; it is a testament to Menorca's commitment to sustainability and how the community can come together to make a real difference. These trays will be available in our rooms, serving not only as a reminder of the importance of caring for our environment, but also as an inspiration for our guests to engage in more sustainable practices.

 

A sustainable future at ARTIEM Hotels

At ARTIEM, our purpose goes beyond providing a unique experience for our guests; it's about being responsible with our environment and contributing to the local community of which we are a part. Projects like this, which promote the circular economy, are not only good practices, but essential for the well-being of our planet and our future generations.

And you, what story will you tell when you go home? We want your story to be one of a place that inspired you to see the world differently, where something as simple as a tray can connect the past with the future, and who we are with who we can be. Join us on this journey towards a greener, more conscious and hopeful tomorrow. Because every small gesture counts, and we're excited for you to be part of this journey with us.
