In living room, plaster stucco, restored to original splendour and enhanced by play of baroque mirrors, converse with monochrome tones, iconic design pieces, and family furnishings reimagined. Colour becomes trait d’union between past and present. Venetian floor blends nuances of clay, mustard, and sand, echoed in resine of new spaces.
Black lacquered staircase contrasts with pink KK 7006 of floor, walls, and ceiling, transforming ensemble into single monochrome box, preluding chromatic triumph of mirror room. Bathroom plays with bold colour contrast: yellow floor in Cementoresina KK 5188 dialogues with walls painted in delicate pink KK 6215. In bedroom, Microresina in mud tone KK 1369 converses with artworks, creating textured and harmonious backdrop.
