The clients are a bright, extraordinary couple who set the tone for the whole project from the very start of our communication: they wanted not a restrained and predictable interior, but a truly lively space, saturated with color and detail. The layout accounted for a spacious kitchen-living room as the heart of the apartment and a cozy master bedroom — both spaces had to work equally well for hosting guests and for a quiet evening for two.
The foundation was the idea of a rich, "explorable" interior: juicy, noble shades, moldings and colored ceilings, custom furniture and many details that don't reveal themselves at first glance.
Each room got its own character and its own palette, but they share a common language — smooth, soft forms of furniture and decor, arches, roundings, textured finishes, and a love of unconventional solutions instead of standard ones.
Textiles are a big part of the work: a significant portion was made in the studio's own atelier, which made it possible to hit exactly the color and character of each room.
The kitchen layout here works for functionality and coziness at the same time — blue-steel fronts, light wood and a black countertop are balanced by a round kitchen island in olive relief tile: it was precisely this element that "pulled" the whole kitchen together. The area by the island is finished with ceramic tiles with a botanical ornament, brass sconces and hardware — resulting in a deep, almost restaurant-like atmosphere.
The living area rests on a comfortable modular sofa: textiles with bright prints (cacti, palms, birds) completed the look and gave the room a finished feel and mood. The space is connected by a decorative arch and a glass-block partition, behind which hides a surreal painting with a staircase and arches — a device that supports the theme of smooth forms throughout the apartment.
