The warmth and colour from the outdoor area gently flows into the adjacent dining room which is defined by Golran ’ s impeccable Meteo Rug by Inga Sempé which houses the dark stained version of the Moroso Mathilda table and chairs , a stunning and vibrant entertaining area for the home owners .
The modern and versatile kitchen looks onto both the dining room and the perfectly executed main living area which is a gentle balance of form , colour and under stated style and speaks back to the expression of the designers appreciation of Japanese architecture through the use of light and detail .
The architecture and hard interior finishes were so tastefully and perfectly executed that it was important to compliment those selections , as opposed to select furniture that would compete instead of enhance those pre made selections ; which I felt we managed to achieve with the help of the State Of Kin Team .
The house is expressive and playful in nature but it also has a underlying sense of elegance and therefore the selections needed to be honest to that subtle balance which the State Of Kin team managed to create ; a balanced that I feel we managed to emulate with the soft furnishings .”
Mobilia ’ s Director Salvatore Fazzari says he was excited by the opportunity to work on Shutter House with the team at State Of Kin .
“ We have always been big fans of the talented team at State Of Kin and when the opportunity presented itself to furnish Shutter House , we were very excited about what we could achieve with the furniture .
Patrica Urquiola ’ s Moroso Gogan Sofa has been selected for the living space which takes its name from nature and in particular from Japanese stones rendered smooth over time . This sits perfectly with the Fjord armchair ( one of the designer ’ s first and most iconic armchairs ) and the blissful colour of the Visioni Rug that is centred by the VV Cinquanta Suspension Pendant by Italian architect Vittoriano Viganò , originally designed in 1951 , and produced by Astep .
