The outdoor terrace and pool area which are connected to the main living area are adorned with State Of Kin ’ s recognisable curved deco references , richness and balance of colour and materiality which is best demonstrated with the tiling in the area , clear cut deco inspired reveals into the pool and the custom tiled curved bench seat ; that has been coupled with Urquiola ’ s Mesh Table and colourful Roll Chairs from Kettal .
This celebrated home , energetic and forward in its approach is testament to the wonderful work of this dynamic , young studio , State Of Kin and their partnership with Mobilia on this project has seen to the fact that the home and furniture selected is of the same high design standards of the interiors and architecture .
The furnishings became an important ingredient in the overall result and sit perfectly with our architecture and interior finishes . We were really fortunate to have been able to select from the world ’ s best design brands giving rise to the opportunity to coordinate materiality and colour within the soft furnishings . This allowed us to complete the home to a standard that we had strived for from the start of this project . ”
Shutter House features an array of Mobilia ’ s brands and work by a mixture of designers and brands including Patrica Urquiola ( Kettal , CC Tapis , Moroso , Glas Italia ), Inga Sempé ( Golran ), Studio Pepe ( CC Tapis ), Michael Anastassiades ( Michael Anastassiades ), Gino Sarfatti ( Astep ) and Vittoriano Viganò ( Astep ).
State Of Kin Co-Director Alessandra French explains “ From the inception of this project we wanted to created a material palette championing raw , expressive materials and an enduring design statement for what has become our flagship project to date .
“ We have a small studio which allows us to have a very close and collaborative approach between our architectural and interior departments , which is seen by the way the material finishes play off the architectural elements of this home .
The design vision was clear from the start and I feel we managed to materialise our initial vision for the project from an architectural and design perspective .
