Scandinavian family of 4, the brief was to create a family home which would be at the same time practical (2 very young children) and offering a ‘light’, calming atmosphere, almost a ‘zen-like’ feel…a pleasure to live in. The owner works from home and he has stated that this has been reached as he spends a lot of time at home. The style of the new interior for the house is a marriage of Scandinavian simplicity with Italian luxury where, for example, natural woods used on the floor or doors live together in harmony with high gloss paint finishes used in all the furniture in the house. Several Scandi pieces have been included, i.e. Alvar Aalto classic armchairs which have been covered in luxurious Italian ponyskin-look cowhide. Scandinavian coffee tables have been assigned to the most comfortable Cassina sofas designed by Philippe Starck
