Sleek Italian Apartment in Lucca: Interior Design Ideas

Posted: 12 Jul 2013 09:44 AM PDT

Designed by Studiovo, this sleek, contemporary apartment makes ample use of line and form for a look that is both striking and unusual. Sharply angled ceilings, strong accent walls with key-thread characteristics and a bold black and white palette all fill the dramatic residence with a dynamic presence. Built in the historical center of Lucca, the home also features three terraces, one of which is 80 sq meters and enjoys stunning views of the city beyond.

The unique accent wall is made of wood lacquered in a brown anthracite finish. It is decorative just as is or offers display surface for beloved found objects.

Beyond the accent wall the dining room can be seen furnished with Verner Paton chairs in white.

An additional dining area off the living room features wire mesh chairs and a acrylic table.

The sharply angled ceiling and angled walls of the living room offer striking architectural elements.

A large leather chair is a casual rendition of Pedro Friedeberg’s iconic Hand-Chair.

A backlit modern art sculpture of acrylic adds a touch of color to the otherwise black and white space.

The kitchen windows provide a geometric take on the classic eyebrow window.

Kitchen hardware is replaced by cut-out “slots” placed off center adding interest to the kitchen cabinetry.

A small built-in desk makes a perfect mini-office in the master bedroom.

The uber-modern bed is in direct contrast to the traditional plaid bed coverings.

A grouping of mirrors give the appearance of having been thrown into place in a convoluted arrangement.

The floors throughout the apartment are made of pickled oak giving them a slight greyish/blonde appearance.

Red storage bins offer the only pop of color in the white bathroom.

True to elements throughout the house, the bathroom vanity is cut-out and angled in a striking use of line.

The guest bathroom gets a splash of color from a brick red wall amping the liveliness of the space.
