Interior design by renowned Italian brands
Jun 23, 2021
There is a lot that is unusual in this project: the marquee, which has been broken right in the middle of the living room, the white boiserie panels in the lobby (not just wall decor, but the fronts of a built-in wardrobe), the eccentric interpretation of 60s style, and the concentration of furniture from well-known Italian brands.
At the centre of the living room is the Bold sofa, designed by Patricia Urquiola for the Italian factory Moroso. The model resembles a barely blooming flower in the cubist paintings by Pablo Picasso. The sofa is distinguished by the simplicity of forms and functional elegance, and is comfortable to sit on.
The Utrecht armchair, an iconic armchair designed by Gerrit Rietveld in 1935, is a worthy companion. The armchair is one of few items left to humanity by this strange and short-sighted Dutch design genius. It was put into series production during his lifetime and has been reissued in 1988 in the Italian factory Cassina. The design, as is often the case with Rietveld, is geometric and clear: the backrest and seat are joined at right angles, while the entire armchair is angled backwards and rests on the base-backrest-armrest-leg connection. The absence of back legs creates a feeling of stability and stability, so appreciated today.
In the centre of the living room is an unusual frame system with a sliding curtain. Behind the fabric partition, a secret room - the dining room - is hidden. Here the main character is the Clay table from the Italian factory Desalto. Designed by Marc Kruzin, the model is an original geometric sculpture that combines beauty and precise proportions. The tapered base tapers towards the top and holds the round table top firmly in place with its sharp end. The piece was first presented at iSaloni in 2015 and over the years has become a true modern classic.
Around the dining table are the Gaja chairs, again from Cassina.
The embossed panels are not just wall decor. They are the doors of a built-in wardrobe and the entrance door to the nursery. Here is the Sella stool designed by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni (1957) and the Servomuto table designed by Achille Castiglioni (1974), all by Zanotta. Next to it is a stylised Componibili bedside table by Kartell.
As for the lighting, the project's designers show a passionate commitment to one single Italian brand. Flos lighting devices can be seen in every room. In the living room there is a Gatto table lamp, in the dining room there is a suspended Taraxacum lamp, in the bedroom there is a Parentesi pendant lamp and IC Light floor lamp, in the children's room there is a Lampadina table lamp and in the bathroom there is a Snoopy table lamp. Stylish and functional items made in Italy, all available for ordering in Minsk.
New Studio is the official representative of the Italian factories Flos, Moroso, Cassina, Desalto, Kartell, Zanotta in Belarus.
