  • SRK HOUSE: DESIGN THAT
    FOSTERS CONNECTION WITHIN
    A FAMILY OASIS

    Sprawling around 2300 sq ft of area, the SRK home harmonises different elements to create a cohesive and luxurious living space for a family of five. The space is characterised by an uber luxurious living area with few handpicked statement art pieces.

    One of the defining features of this design is its intelligent  use of patterns and textures. From intricate grooves to playful polka dots and elegant fluted patterns, every corner of the home tells a unique story through its design elements. Moreover, the design idea revolves around the skillful use of vibrant colour pops into the predominantly earthy palette, injecting energy and vitality into each room.

    The client’s vision for this house was clear: a dynamic space where interaction thrives. The living, dining, and bar areas were seamlessly integrated into an open plan, promoting connectivity and openness. Each corner of the home was designed to encourage shared experiences, ensuring that every moment spent together is memorable and meaningful.

    The focal point of the residence is undoubtedly the spacious living area, which serves as the heart of the home. As one enters the house, herringbone patterned flooring welcomes the user into a visually open and grand living room. Neutral tones like grey, brown, beige, black and white were used to form a bold, tasteful and elegant space. The foyer and kitchen at entrance are separated from the living and dining area with a contrasting shift in flooring from wood to Satvario marble. The distinction of this space is further highlighted by a carefully curated statement sculpture that commands attention, adding a touch of opulence. Initially met with skepticism, the clients’ trust in the vision paid off splendidly. The clean straight grooves on the wall behind the sculpture form a backdrop to balance the sculpture’s contrasting curves. The lush and immaculate carpet from Mirzapur rugs, paired with carefully selected furniture pieces sourced from international markets, completely elevates the space.

    The dining area is surrounded by an exquisite dining table crafted from precious marble. Adjacent to it stands a stylish bar unit fashioned from stainless steel and fluted glass, adding a contemporary flair to the space. The sleek linear lines of the bar unit give the length and width scale to an otherwise narrow corner. Moreover, the addition of vibrant accessories enhances the visual appeal of the structure, completing the ensemble with ornate flair.

    Journeying through the residence, the rooms are routed through a passage adorned with a monochromatic collage of family photographs, crafting an intimate and personalised atmosphere affectionately termed as “A Lane of Memory”. At the end of the passage, a fluted door opens into the master bedroom, a sanctuary of opulence and refinement. Here, Grandeur is expressed by an imported bed adorned in taupe and tangerine hues, set against a backdrop of sumptuous silk wallpaper. While the space exudes richness through furniture pieces, the room design approach  remains rooted in minimalist sensibilities. A cozy lounge corner in the master bedroom is a sure-shot spot to sink in at the day’s end, offering solace and serenity.

    The design efforts for daughters’ room resonate with the occupant, as every detail is imbued with a sense of timeless beauty and charm. Fluted white walls with delicately ornamented eaves on the ceiling, the blush-toned upholstery on the headboard, complemented by the polka-dotted wallpaper from Nilaya, set the stage for a fairy tale-inspired retreat. A customised vertical light piece adds a touch of magic, while the carefully curated furnishings and framed dresser opposite the bed contribute to a dreamlike corner within the room.

    In crafting a haven for their son, an inspirational quote adorns the wall above his bed, serving as a daily reminder of his boundless potential. Geometric shapes in cool, English blues, beige, grey, brown, and white adorn the space, lending it with a contemporary touch. Thoughtfully designed storage solutions not only enhance the room’s functionality but also contribute to its appearance.

    Throughout the residence, an elegant interplay of elements, colours, and materials culminates in a sophisticated and distinct abode. The use of similar neutrals throughout the entirety of the project serves to unify the space, resulting in a cohesive and open design that embodies the essence of the designer’s vision.

  • Vicaima present another dimension for interiors with Dekordor® 3D

    Popular for over a decade, the Dekordor® 3D range from Vicaima has long been a first choice with specifiers of living and working spaces. With its attractive textural and hard-wearing surface, ideal for contemporary surroundings as well as demanding locations; this competitively priced interior timber door or door kit has much to commend it for both modern private dwellings and social environments. Now, with innovation and inspiration firmly in mind, the range has been re-imagined for a new generation of specifiers, with no less than 15 tonal and textural options, making flexible design and performance, available to suit a wider range of project budgets.

    While colours like the original horizontal Grey remain as popular today as it always was, a fresh palette has been introduced to satisfy modern trends and encompassing both vertical and horizontal textured faces. For those who seek the neutrality of crisp and light colours, Artic and Silver Oak blend perfectly with busy surroundings and make excellent use of light in small spaces. Conversely, where rich warm tones would be ideal and needed to emulate otherwise expensive alternatives, Chocolate, Urban and light Walnut provide the perfect solution. However, if the desire is to embrace a more monochrome look, new Carbon Black, Grey Oak or Cloud White could provide the answer.

    Dekordor® 3D is not just about door appearance either. It can be provided in the full gambit of performance solutions from Vicaima. Manufactured with fire (whether FD30 or FD60), security (including dual scope and SBD accreditation) and acoustic certification (ranging from 34 to 45dB) the range can be supplied as part of a matching door assembly and with associated joinery such as skirting and wall panels.  Furthermore, with flexible design options such as factory glazing, decorative grooves and inlays are also possible. In short tailored to your project needs, whatever they may be.

    Comprised of a lounge chair, sofa, and sectional, the Samara Collection takes its aesthetic cues from the dynamic movement and constantly shifting landscape of sand dunes, caused by the desert wind. Drawing on the mesmerizing effect of shifting light and shadow across the sand, the collection exudes a bold presence, while maintaining a sense of awe and tranquility.

    Specialized techniques were required to ensure the distinctive gestures of both the solid wood base and the upholstery. The standout feature of the collection lies in its impeccable execution of the voluptuous upholstered back. Emphasis was placed on perfecting the proportions of the curved back detail to achieve a balance of comfort and functionality.

    From its bold silhouette to its materiality, Samara exemplifies the partnership’s dedication to quality craftsmanship and environmental responsibility, enhancing interior spaces and contributing to a more sustainable future for generations to come.

    The Samara Collection will be on display at Salone del Mobile from April 16-21, 2024, at Hall 5 Stand B03.

  • PIUMATI: A new Murano Glass Table Lamps Collection

    SIX NEW MURANO GLASS TABLE LAMPS

    Piumati introduces new Murano Glass table lamps to its range of prestigious decorative lighting solutions: Chandeliers, Pendant Lights, Wall Sconces and Ceiling Lights.

    The new table lamp collection proposes six differently designed models that combine modern styles with the ancient Murano tradition, creating a bridge between Venetian history and contemporary Italian design.


    The distinctive value of PIUMATI handcrafted table lamps, is not only the excellence of their design and quality: the lamps are customizable in many different colors, lampshades and metal finishing, according to customers’ lighting project style.

    THE ESSENCE OF ELEGANCE BETWEEN TRADITION AND MODERNITY

    We are in Venice, on the Murano island. Every morning the twenty craftsmen of our furnace gather in front of the incandescent mouths of the ovens and plan the day’s production.

    The masters in the 4 work squares draw on stone blackboards the blown glass lighting fixtures they will give life to during an intense day of toil. In the meantime, our planners together with the designers trace the lines of the Chandeliers, Wall Sconces & Floor Lamps that make our production unique and exclusive.

    PIUMATI is our vision of how Murano Glass tradition should be expressed at its maximum. Piumati’s aim is to value the blown glass art, with the ultimate purpose to celebrate the uniqueness of our Venetian heritage and the Italian one as a result. 

    The brand PIUMATI owes its name to a historical type of Murano glass processing of the 17th century obtained by applying hot glass threads of another color around a blown glass that, combed up and down, take on an elegant feather pattern, from which derives the name of “piumati”, that means “feathered”.

  • Behind the Scenes of Classic Revival: A Design Journey Embarking on a Luxurious Odyssey

    Nestled in the heart of Southeast Asia, Yuan Design has been captivating the world with its exceptional prowess in luxury interior design. Recently, the esteemed professionals at Luxury Lifestyle Awards bestowed upon them the prestigious title of Best Luxury Interior Visualization and Design for Classic Revival in Malaysia. It’s a recognition that speaks volumes about their commitment to crafting bespoke, interiors that seamlessly reflect their clients’ unique lifestyles through a collaborative and personalized approach.

    The Epitome of Luxury: Classic Revival

    Classic Revival stands as a testament to Yuan Design’s expertise in creating timeless elegance and sophistication. This project was more than just an assignment; it was an ambitious vision brought to life with meticulous precision and unwavering dedication. As you delve into the behind-the-scenes journey of Classic Revival, you’ll discover the artistry, challenges, and intricacies that went into creating this opulent masterpiece.

    Conceptualization and Client Collaboration

    At the heart of every successful project lies a deep understanding of the client’s desires and aspirations. Yuan Design’s journey began with collaborative discussions, where they keenly listened to their client’s vision for a grand English manor-style home. This dialogue, an integral part of their process, allowed them to grasp the client’s unique preferences and challenges presented by the project.

    Design Inspiration and Research

    To bring Classic Revival to life, the team at Yuan Design immersed themselves in understanding the English manor aesthetic – the materials, architectural details and styling that would bring this concept to life. Extensive research played a pivotal role in shaping the project’s design concept, ensuring that it was not just luxurious but also steeped in a rich narrative.

    Overcoming Challenges

    No design journey is without its challenges, and Classic Revival was no exception. The client described their dream of a grand English manor-style home, one that would impress guests with its sophisticated elegance.

Yuan Design harnessed the power of 3D visualization and other cutting-edge tools to plan and present their design concepts with precision. Technology wasn’t just a tool; it was an enabler that ensured the project’s success. It allowed the client to visualize their dream home and provide feedback.

    Collaboration with Client

    Collaboration with clients has always been at the core of Yuan Design’s approach. For Classic Revival, they worked closely with their client at every stage. The team would incorporate personal touches to make the home truly belonging to the client. The team’s skilled artisans would build custom furnishings, paneling and add details to create a truly world-class interior.
