Set in the heart of Bari, this 19th-century apartment was renovated with heritage and contemporary design at its core. The original parquet, with its intricate inlays, anchors the dining space with warmth and history.
The interiors are curated with iconic design pieces, balancing lightness and sophistication with sculptural presence. Kartell Masters chairs surround a metal dining table with crystal glass top, allowing the restored flooring to remain the visual protagonist in the room. The midcentury Flos chandelier above introduces a delicate, graphic rhythm overhead and bridges between traditional and contemporary design as a reinterpretation of a traditional Murano glass chandelier.
Against the back wall, a black metal library by Molteni, paired with the metal table, offers display while maintaining transparency, allowing the room to feel more cohesive and spacious without overwhelming the space.
In the kitchen, minimal custom cabinetry in deep, bitter chocolate tones is paired with stainless steel worktops, enhanced by a linear integrated LED strip that divides the space in half, emphasising clean geometries.
In the bathroom, clean geometries and calm tones establish a strong relationship with the kitchen and the rest of the home. A seamless resin floor extends into the walls without skirting, unified in a single tone, while the ceiling is recessed and edged with perimeter LED strips, creating a floating effect in contrast with the walls and floor.
