Interior design project for the living area of an already renovated apartment.
The intervention concerns a super panoramic apartment in a historic building on the slopes of the Vomero hill.
The request of the young spouses was twofold, on the one hand the lawyer husband with a strong taste for the old, for the conservation and research of antiques, on the other the dynamic surgeon wife with an eye towards clean, functional and contemporary lines.
The know-how was to find harmony in the original contrast.
Various aspects were involved, period furnishing accessories were integrated, and the original family sofa from the 70s was revisited.
The project focuses on the balance of proportions between the dimensions of the living room, the shape, and the dimensions of the accessories, the colors, the combinations of materials and the shapes. Everything needed to obtain a usable and comfortable living space.
The back wall was treated with a single stylistic language, simple, essential but at the same time dynamic and functional.
A multifunctional library. The open shelves of the strictly white bookcase wall frame objects, souvenir photos and books. Closed volumes, composed inside the open shelves, emerge from the regular mesh of the uprights and shelves, determining the functions of use.
The link between period furniture and the rigorously contemporary wall was the treatment of the closed parts, the doors were covered with an artistic decoration in cement and resin with material imprinting and metal powders. The balance between the decorative and abstract textures gave a stylistic position that perfectly met the expectations of the homeowners: historically contemporary!
To complete the layout, a pouf was created entirely by hand in leather with capitonné padding, details in brushed raw iron were inserted such as portals and shelves which made the environment coherent and harmonious.
