Cool as a cucumber, the FNL Apartment by drips in luxurious tactility. With a summer house attitude set amongst the city noise of Warsaw, Poland, the varied stylistic references – from the 70s, Hollywood regency, space-age and Asian culture – seamlessly blend for a residence rich in ease and comfort.
The somewhat unconventional abode was designed for a young couple with their personal character felt throughout. A certain austere charm and organicity are mixed with distinct colour choices and room dividers creating a sense of intimacy reminiscent of work by Italian artist Carlo Mollino.
A made-to-measure shelving system, executed in raw rolled steel and weighing over 600kg, lines the living room wall. A raw textural delight, the steel bones are bolstered by decorative wood and marble inserts. Styling adds depth with a screen reminiscent of Jean Dunards designs and a Japanese inspired solid oak coffee table. The Amura Lapis sofa in red pops against the subdued, earthy plaster walls and polished concrete floors. Together with a set of vintage easy chair armchairs upholstered in a cream boucle fabric their swelling, curvaceous forms are a contemporary take on classic design.
