The Lake House | Ashley Gadeova

Immersed in the marvellous setting of the Austrian Alps, in a fairytale landscape of peaks and lakes, this villa can be described as 'a jewel in the mountains'. Its interiors, with their warm and welcoming tones, certainly cannot go unnoticed, infusing that pleasantness typical of the places to which one is most attached. The furnishings used, the result of the flair of interior designer Ashley Gadeova, accommodate the unique pieces of the LAPIS collection, created by the all-Italian brand "Pedretti Home".

From the very first glance, the environment immediately appears to have a strong impact thanks to the skilful use of petrified wood, a material used extensively in the decoration of the furnishings that furnish these sumptuous spaces, in which one can breathe in the perfect harmony between this precious material and the surrounding nature, thus giving the rooms that house it a marked touch of originality and refinement. Focusing on the living room, the predominance of warm tones contrasts with the cold mountain climate, creating a pleasant sensory balance between inside and outside, between the warmth of the house and the icy cold of the Alps.

The furnishings that inspired the design of the house and created a perfect frame for the interior are from the Lapis collection, including the café table, bench and bookcase. As if to crown an already harmonious work, the interior designer manages to further accentuate the sensorial experience of this home through the reflection of the fire in the fireplace on the brass of the CIOCÁT, the collection's coffee tables, so that everything in the room seems to lead the visitor on a journey through which modern forms unfold, elegantly enhanced by welcoming colours, so that the chromatic and structural balance succeeds in creating a pleasant and unusual living experience.

As you glance along the walls, you will notice the TRIGA, the collection's bench, in the corner of the room, which is perfect for comfortably observing the magnificent panorama beyond the window. The sensory journey ends with the SFOIA bookcase, which takes its inspiration from the trunks of the trees in the surrounding landscape, giving the sensation that you are walking through the living room but almost feel as if you are strolling through the shrubs outside.

The LAPIS collection represents the perfect synthesis of beauty and uniqueness. With its sinuous shapes and petrified wood, the LAPIS collection is the stylistic breakthrough that the design world needs. The fireplace inserted between the two windows reaches right up to the wooden ceiling, which in turn is characterised by a thread of light running through the middle, a detail that gives the ceiling a distinctly modern and interesting character. The result of this modern and cosy interior design is a harmonious combination of natural materials such as wood, metal and stone in warm tones, as well as the use of high quality fabrics such as leather for the sofa and armchairs, resulting in an environment where warmth and cosiness go hand in hand with modern and luxurious details.
