The project for this bright and airy flat inside a Milanese historic bulding combines some aspects of the Nordic design, i.e. focus on the quality of light and usage of simple forms and pure colours, with a typical Italian-style décor. The result is a secluded, velvety, and welcoming ambience. The cement tile chosen for the floor gives a strong personality to the whole area, thanks to its modern material and format, but slightly vintage design. The colour scheme chosen for walls and furnishings uses a palette of neutral, although sharp nuances to highlight some specific views and to stress the room depth and spaciousness. The bespoke furnishings are marked by a simple, well-defined outline, which makes them a quasi-graphic elements against the dense background of walls and floors.
