This project is about an invitation on a journey where opulent colors, lavish textures, and a mix of vintage and contemporary call for an exploration of the boundaries of beauty.
The owners, a young couple settled in Milan, wanted an apartment with a playful, light and fresh character that could become the container for their collection of works of art, paintings and family heirlooms.
There was a little space reconfiguring to be done before the fun could begin. The functions of the open space area have been delimited thanks to the glass window in the center of the room, which at the same time divides and unites the space, allowing the passage of light. The interiors tread a fine balance between a traditional and contemporary aesthetic, giving emphasis to a sophisticated and artistic color palette. Acid green and blue, in fact, predominate throughout the house, starting with a moody blue in the entrance, and proceeding to combine in the living and kitchen, where blue, pale mint and acid green make for a stylish combination on furniture and walls.
“Surgical” changes to the layout have refined the overall flow. For a more contemporary result, the space has been reconfigured thanks to the mix of classic architectural elements and a sophisticated & lively color palette. Color becomes a structural element, communicating with art, craftsmanship and design. The furnishings are a collection of objets trouvés, paintings from private collections and antiques; a unique mix that reflects the personalities of the owners. Where possible, the artisanal element was highlighted, from the stained glass window, from the blue calcite backsplash, from the bathroom furniture with Moroccan references to the blown glass lamps and mirrors.
