MINIMAL CONCEPT WITH NATURAL ACCENTS


Context: Defining two sub-zones, one dedicated to dining and the other to the living space, the project relies on chromatic contrast and the inclusion of neutral accents with natural tones. While the dining area is delimited by treating the walls, ceiling and floor with strong colors and prominent textures, the seating area is treated in opposition, based on light, warm tones.

The stylistic artifices used in this project energize the space, giving it a special personality – the irregular decorative panels applied to the walls in the reading and dining area, the duplication of the wallpaper motif on the floor by overlapping carpets of the same shape and the same tones in the living area, as well as inserting black and gold accents.

Dried plants, integrated in various key points of the arrangement, keep the proposal in the lines of the design with natural accents, elegantly punctuating the freshness of the concept's atmosphere. The textiles integrated in the design of the space (curtains, draperies, fabrics for furniture items) follow the same principle – sober textiles used in the dining area and natural, warm tones used in the living area, intended to warm the outlined picture.

Neoclassical concept with modern accents

The source of inspiration for this arrangement is the classic Parisian apartment with neoclassical elements represented by the decorative profiles on the walls and the rosette around the sconce but with modern accents: the Elain armchair from Osea Interiors, the sofa and chest of drawers from Casa Rusu.Everything is completed by the elegance of the Agata dining room chairs and the Reverse table with black smoked glass top, both from Osea Interiors.

The lighting fixtures were chosen in the same vein: in minimalist style, the Arena ceiling light for the ceiling and the Paddy Stand for accent lighting by the sofa, both from Klausen. We return to the classic and elegant style in the dining area with the ring lamp from the noble house and the Galilei lamp from Klausen.

I chose to delimit the 2 areas of the room by color: I created an intimate mood that invites relaxation and discussion by using Antigrav LEATHER Charcoal Dark for the living room/sofa area. For the dining area, we enlivened the atmosphere by using Antigrav LEGUAN Bianco film. And for the flooring, we warmed up the color by using tiles imitating wood from Imar Com, arranged in a Chevron pattern (typical of the French style). For textiles, we continued in the same neutral style with grays and beiges. Most of the accessories are from Nobila Casa. I used as decorations for the walls the Bruno Sand wallpaper from XT Deco and a mirror, both in an abstract style, being in slight contrast with the classic style of the furnishing, but they also support the eclectic character of the furnishing.

For the windows I chose the Cove curtains from Mendola fabrics to give more lightness to the space and I used apparent galleries to continue the neoclassical style line.

3rd Prize

Concept: FLUID MINIMAL


Context: The proposed project aims to transform an apparently impersonal space into a unitary composition. The two living and dining areas are marked by an accent area represented by geometric shapes with wallpaper. Curved shapes help visually connect the two spaces and create a unified language.

The pieces of furniture used suggest the minimalist approach to the spaces, they complete the composition. The sculptural decoration details only accentuate the design line approached.
