SHAPES | VSTUDIO

VSTUDIO signs an interior design project for a 130sqm apartment situated in one of the buildings designed by Daniel Libeskind for the new Citylife district in Milan. It is a versatile space with a spectacular view on the recently completed headquarters of Generali and Allianz and the wide park that surrounds them. The apartment is decorated with a contemporary and delicate taste that prefers furniture in shades of blue and grey and bleached oak floors, fading into the sky that enters from the wide windows on all sides.

The kitchen, custom-made by Veneta Cucine, features a dark grey open bookcase which acts as a filter between the dining area and the kitchen counter where the food is prepared. The dining table is a singular piece designed by Habitare and adapted to the house needs: its transparent methacrylate legs disappear under the thick oak top in which a side drawer is hidden from sight.

The living room presents two sofas and a coffee table with Carrara marble top, all made by Gervasoni, and an open bookcase, custom-made by Veneta Cucine, that presents a structure in white lacquered finish and details in oak wood. The wall behind the bookcase has been treated with a matt blue decorative finishing made by Sikkens, pleasantly rough to the touch.

While two contemporary art paintings ornate the wall facing the window, the round lamp Sorry Giotto by Catellani&Smith projects its fascinating light on a small section of the wall that leads to the bedrooms, more similar to an art piece than a simple lighting device. 

The master bedroom presents a bed by Gervasoni with a white walnut headboard and an Indian bedcover, juxtaposed between Artemide wall lamps and wooden nightstands in grey and white colors. The wardrobe with sliding doors is custom-made by Italian artisans and features a structure with an open pore lacquered finish and a tall mirror on one of the doors. To complete the room, two more lighting pieces designed by Catellani&Smith: Macchina della Luce, covered in silver leaf, comes down from the ceiling and a white Lederam stands against the wall decorated with the same matt blue finishing by Sikkens used in the living room.
