Altro angolo relax composto dalle poltroncine in cavallino LC1 rieditate da Cassina Italia .
This exciting and exclusive project will amaze you , as soon as you cross the threshold . At the entrance , plenty of light welcomes you ; the living path opens up with high-impact glimpses , which leave no room for the desire to have a peek around , given that everywhere there is something amazing . Art and everyday life are partners in an encompassing embrace , capable of turning the family space into an exclusive and dynamic place , where hospitality always blends with the cult of beauty and genius . This renovation is signed by architect Maby Picco , who defined it as a challenge : turning two traditional and bordering flats into single large accommodation for a collector and her family . An intimate place , but at the same time , suitable for hosting an important collection of modern art . Three hundred and ninety square metres where the life of a family takes place . And , where several objects – with their history and their scenic impact – have their own life , thus creating an atmosphere and describing the mood of this new habitat . Even if images speak for themselves , who could describe this project better than architect Picco – who has understood and materialized the residents ’ wishes –? “ The light invades this beautiful flat , hidden from prying eyes , but capable of giving unexpected views of the city and its roofs , the river and its trees , offering even evocative sunsets with Monviso in the background , through the large windows – furnished like Gio Ponti ’ s ones –, which mark the house . Some typical elements have been preserved during the renovation work , such as the beautiful marble floor , modernized by replacing the polychrome inlays with the help of expert craftspeople . Some works of art , such as those sculpted by Nero , become an integral part of the architecture of spaces , covering the ceiling and becoming like a floor-to-ceiling partition between the living area and the study area . Dialogue was at the root of the entire design process , and allowed to find shared solutions between the various instances ; in particular , the balance between the staterooms and the more private area , together with the dialogue focused on memory , linked to valuable objects of the past that have found strength and the right place in the contrast with very modern works , which embellish the whole flat .” I do not add anything else . I give the floor to Art and its power .
