The 4,000 square-foot penthouse apartment is an absolute interior design treasure in the Australian high-class suburb of Toorak, in Melbourn. On a trip to the city of lights, Greg Natale, the worldwide famous interior designer, found inspiration in the Parisian arches and swaths of maroon.
The clients are jewelry designers and they wanted their personality and passion to e presented in the project. Contrasting this, the space for the residence was originally clean and minimalistic, which is the absolute opposite of the owner’s style, but the perfect starting point for a creative mind.
The interior designer wanted to include different elements that were everything but neutral, starting by embracing the color pink in one of the main rooms – the dining room. The walls are covered in an amazing Gucci wallpaper, that perfectly combines with some joinery gold pieces and brings a sense of luxury and power to the room.
Besides the unusual, exotic, and exclusive combination of tones, this project has a curated selection of amazing pieces from different exclusive brands, transforming this penthouse almost into a design museum. For example, Greg Natale combined some Jonathan Adler’s furniture, that the couple already had, with some more contemporary brands such as Boca do Lobo’s Fortuna Dining Table, which takes the stage’s center in the dining room, illuminated by a Kelly Wearstler’s suspension light and above Greg Natale’s art deco rug. The final result of this room strongly relays the love of luxury and glamour, for the owners, but also the interior designer.
Through the interior, the interior designer managed to combine some vintage pieces, with creations from world-famous design brands. In the sitting room, an amazing acrylic center table by Jonathan Adler completes the room style together with a vintage chandelier. The living room is a mix of different textures, materials, colors, and finishes, harmonized by the pink palette, as the basis. In this room, a Boca do Lobo’s Wave Center Table found its place a maroon Minotti sofa and blush Jonathan Adler chairs.
This interior design is a loyal example of Greg Natale’s amazing work, resulting in an unequal project that embraces an 80s glamour style, with a luxury contemporary style, that satisfied the demanding clients, without compromising the designer’s signature.
