Brightness for a classic villa

 

A classic style villa in which contemporary furnishings fits harmoniously giving further brightness. Bright profiles in warm tones are hidden in the furniture with essential lines.

Project: Modulor
Year: 2011
Site: Colognola

An elegant and refined house, whose architectural lines highlight a classic taste. From the rounded profiles of the false ceiling to the choice of dark wood furniture and traditional graphics, everything refers to the classic style. Working by inserting contemporary furnishings does not mean changing its taste, but rather underlining it by creating refined stylistic contrasts. From the entrance you immediately notice the dining table, a real style jewel. A plan with geometric motifs supported by important shaped legs in stone. A braided chandelier with a retro taste accompanies it.

Then the view opens to the living room, where the back wall certainly occupies a privileged role. With its shaped stone fireplace, it recalls the traditional houses where the hearth occupied a central position. Two niches with custom shelves are placed side by side and symmetrically arranged. Its medium gray background color recalls the shades of the furnishings. Even the TV cabinet that supports them on the adjacent wall is in the same shade, but with a glossy finish. This, reflecting the light from the opposite window, increases the general brightness of the room. Between bright shelves with recessed warm lighting and antique furniture a corner of light is recognizable. It is a full-height bookcase with a central niche and depth equipped with shelves. The essential and contemporary lines delicately conform to the environment, making the desk in dark waxed wood with classic rounded lines prevailing.
