The kitchen area delineates the entryway, which subsequently opens into the living area. This living space is bathed in natural light from the French doors that lead to a spacious terrace, also accessible from the bedroom.

GEDEBE SHOWROOM MILANO

  MOITIÉ STUDIO For the presentation to buyers and customers of the new Gedebe collection, Moitié Studio stages a dynamic and elegant exhibition in the spaces of the Massimo Bonini Showroom.

MOITIÉ STUDIO The exhibition surfaces welcome, seemingly randomly, mirrored slabs, silver, and gold, with cuts in curved and sinuous shapes. "Even through this choice, in agreement with the designer and his vision, we wanted to tell a new story of... More

Aquileia

The renovation project of this elegant house in the center of Milan involves the preservation of period elements while integrating them with new design elements. The central core of the house is the hallway with the coffered ceiling that generates spaces and shapes. Through color the architecture is emancipated, evolving from a past stage to a contemporary one. Powder blue is the color that covers the entire space, alongside the wine red that invades the portals that are inspired by Piero Portaluppi's curves. From the portals one reaches the study and the large living room that houses both the TV corner and the dining room.

Porta Vittoria

This house for a young couple required a renovation project based on light and materials. The original plan with living area, night area and attic was maintained but the previous unvarying appearance has been replaced by a journey along textures and colors. The bent metal sheet staircase is a perfect theatre wing into the living room, allowing zenith light to flood in. The imaginary line between living room and kitchen ensures natural light all day long.

PAT1

Close to the Bastioni city walls, where the historic center of Milan begins, the Milanese firm LPzR has completed a new residential project on an area with unusual proportions: the long side measures over seventy meters, but the short side is only six meters. Carola Merello The project was conceived to seamlessly integrate into the urban context, serving as a completion element for an entire block. The lot faces three streets, two of which have high traffic, and is delimited by a long existing building. The volumetric design of the project closes the pre-existing blind façade and relates to the context by adopting a different strategy for each of the three views.

Spanish maximalists Masquespacio design a sushi restaurant with a twist

Yango Zhang, the owner of Ichi, had previously built a few locations for his sushi takeout company but, with this latest venture, he wanted to place a strong emphasis on the dining experience. Ichi's previous identities were created inspired by stations and transit. Luis Beltran Masquespacio thus offered to move away from literal and conventional 'trip' depictions while preserving the essence of that identity and evolving it into a more conceptual one. The Spanish design team suggested using light to journey into the future as a solution. Luis Beltran “With this more futuristic look we had the opportunity to represent the innovative sushi that is showcased on Ichi’s full of flavors and colors menu, developed... More

Decamerone

The renovation of one of the Teatro degli Arcimboldi dressing room was approached with the awareness of having to create a private space dedicated to meditation, concentration and relaxation.  Simone Furiosi Simone Furiosi While functionality is crucial from a distributive point of view, the transient permanence of a dressing room inhabitants make it possible to propose highly distinctive and daring finishing solutions. Simone Furiosi The choice was oriented towards the creation of a welcoming and intimate environment, characterized by large colored surfaces, which come together through strong chromatic and material contrasts. Since each color corresponds to a function, it can be said that the color was used as an arch... More
