Apartment in Caserta | Elle Decor

We are a Casertain the splendid city of the Royal Palace, in a apartment reborn thanks to the pencil of 2A Architects. Protagonist of the project? The design. Yes, between statuary furnishings and simple lines, the house with a view of Vesuvius (from afar) is a tribute to the artist’s project. The design has the ability to inaugurate a fundamental concept: the kitchen, often conceived as a separate room or corner of an open space, is here the protagonist of the living room. Abandoning the idea that the cuisine whether just technical furniture, stoves and cabinets devoted to order materialize an environment perfectly integrated with the rest of the house and sensitive (also) to conviviality.

“Objects of art and design tell passions and life stories”. Thus, the architects describe the home landscape. Between armchairs Walter and sofa Paul by Molteni & C. designed by Vincent Van Duysen, a fireplace becomes space in the living room that warms the atmosphere and transforms the living room into a hearth embraced by beauty. Here, light is also the protagonist. In fact, lighting becomes furniture with the iconic lamp Shut up by Flos, designed by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni in 1962. In the domestic show, the furniture is exhibited with harmonic and sculptural bearing on an exceptional pedestal: the low table Quaderna from Superstudio for Zanotta.

The other side of the living room pays homage to timeless design. And it’s thanks to the furnishings: in the living room there are chairs Bai Lu from Neri & Hu for Lema, le Cesca Chair from Marcel Breuer for Thonet and the arm lamp 265 from Paolo Rizzatto for Flos. The kitchen, signed by Dada, is an island that resembles a cupboard or a bar cabinet. The feeling of fullness and emptiness of the wood perfectly matches the sculptural bearing of the marble – top finish. Thus, a fundamental aesthetic balance in the entire space inhabited by many objects. “Reminiscences of a bygone era” – word to the architects. Protagonist of the bedroom it is the large wardrobe that truly echoes distant times and places. The most private room in the house – the bathroom – instead creates an interesting dialogue between light allure and solemn bearing: here, the arabesque marble embraces the resin and the wood in a harmonious aesthetic and conceptual concert.
