In Paris, the city of lights and the home of iconic design is nestled a luxurious and eclectic 1450 square feet apartment. An apartment fit for the most creative minds, this project is one of the many homes of prolific architect, who also dabbles in the art dealing world. Boca do Lobo Design Studio teamed up with the private client to collaborate in this unique interior design project. A multimillion - dollar penthouse that reflects the owner's love for collectable design project and the client's need to have a functional space for work and to be inspired at the same time.
Contrasting in the colours but converging in the aesthetic and boldness of the pieces, the Entry Gallery shows that details are everything.
Covering the entire entryway, on both sides, the iconic and exclusive Heritage Sideboard brings colour to an almost monochromatic environment.Composed of carefully hand-painted tiles, this is a design that tells a story, through an ancient Portuguese technic. On the walls, the Halo mirrors with gold frames, that were specially designed for the client, show many forms, ranging from coloured or white rings to arcs and spots in the sky.
At the end of this large entrance, the modern Pietra round table, carved with mastery in white marble, is the key element of this space matching the typical french floors. Illuminating the setting, a beautiful white and gold chandelier brings a contemporary and futuristic touch to the entrance gallery: the Hera Round II Suspension Light. Handmade from cast brass, this chandelier has an organic shape and intricate contemporary details to create an adjustable arrangement in a harmonious ensemble.
The living room is one of the main areas in this opulent french apartment. Surrounded by art and romantic sculptures that call back to Ancient Greece, this space is the perfect combination of classic and contemporary, in an artistic symbiosis.
In the centre of the living room lays a new version of the iconic Imperfectio Sofa, this time in a chaise long. This unique design piece shows that imperfection can be perfect, and a beautiful and artsy piece can both be aesthetically pleasing, and a comfortable place to rest. Surrounded by the Imperfectio Modular sofa, the magnificent Navarra centre table is a product of the brand’s Bespoke Service. This design became part of its 2021 novelties debuts.
The aesthetic of the space is defined by the combination of its colours, shapes and materials. The cream tones in the textiles of the upholsteries, the gold of the brass and the earth tones of the marble bring the perfect balance and harmony to the room.
Following the open-concept lines of the decor, the living room transitions into the dining area, maintaining the same characteristics and aesthetic. The different finishes are one of the features that contribute to the coherence of this interior design project, with statement pieces and timeless hues.The dining room mixes neutral tones, with black and dark brown wood surfaces contrasting with the exquisiteness of gold brass. But what truly elevates this ambiance are the pieces that make this project a living art-gallery. Comprehensive furniture that could easily be considered an iconic collectable design piece such as the imposing Empire Dining Table take centre stage with the Glance mirror and the memorable Nº11 Chair complementing this beautiful and perfectly designed area. Illuminating the dining space is the Hera Suspension Light, defined by strong and emotional paths filled with intricate details.
Transitioning into the kitchen area, this project debuts new pieces but also new spaces where Boca do Lobo can be present. Everything in this apartment is unconventional: sharing the space with the dining room, the kitchen is open and perfectly embraces the aesthetic of this glamorous apartment.
Mixing dark tones and illuminated by the gold present in the whole project, this area is not only functional but also luxurious. The main piece is the dark marble Kitchen Island with the perfect amount of gold touch and the minimalistic design, to match the dining and living room. This bespoke piece was designed to break the space and to gather all the ambiances at the same time.
The Master Bedroom is mainly inspired by the art pieces that the client brings from all the corners of the world, like the vintage black mirror and the contrasting rug. However, the centre stage is definitely the king-size bed which is framed with the handmade black Lapiaz Headboard.This imposing design piece is inspired by the french term for a stone that when frizzed, cracks into an unexpected stunning interior revealing all the inside details. Alongside the rest area, the team conceived a space to rest with two armchairs and the beautiful Liberté Fragmented Mirror maximising the space even more. Now joining the brand's Imperfectio family, is a tailor-made design product for your four-legged best friend, the Imperfectio Pet Bed. A comfortable pet-essential piece, particularly resistant to water and scratches.
The luxury closet's design has a central lounge area with two statement Imperfectio armchairs, covered in brass, giving the space an authentic and luxury style. The gold of the furniture design connects perfectly both with the bespoke Eden centre table, which in this setting is customised with a marble tabletop, as well as with the imposing Hera Suspension Lamp. The lighting fixture is moulded to resemble the features and look of a golden branch. Handmade from cast brass, this chandelier has an organic shape and intricate contemporary details to create an adjustable arrangement in a harmonious ensemble. Glass doors unveil the Designer clothes collection, giving the modern closet a bright and open space feeling.
Also in this spacious walk-in closet is a design product tailor-made for your four-legged best friend, the Imperfectio Pet Bed. Above this piece is The D.Dinis luxury mirror, which embodies the classic Parisian style in its golden detailed frame while capturing glimpses of irreverent and modern features on the surface. An imposing antique gold mirror that challenges the history and cherishes it at the same time, born to be a must-have in any luxury room. Completing this elegant room, the neutral and patterned Valencia rug by Rug Society, a partner in this project, works well in the interior design geometry and helps to bring warmth into the master wardrobe.
The reflection of personal style, passions, and aspirations of the private client is the motto for this working space. Leading into the creative room, the hallway maintains the same art gallery-like aesthetic as the entrance of the house, yet breaking the informality of it with the stunning and imposing Millionaire luxury safes with a strong and formal design.The Hera Suspension Lamp illuminates the entry of this room, and the marble floor reflects the brightness needed to balance this business yet inspiring environment.
Entering the room where work comes to life, the Design Studio created two distinctive areas according to the client's needs. A lounge space with an eclectic style welcomes the guests into a creative talk with the Soleil Sofa and Armchair and the out-of-box Savana Rug by the Partner Brand Rug'Society.
The new Garrett Bookcase covers the side walls to provide the maximum storage keeping knowledge on display and bringing more character and formality.
