The evolution of the Modern Oriental movement has given birth to a captivating fusion, where the allure of Japanese lacquer, intricate gilt details, and a dash of timeless Italian charm intertwine. This served as the inspirational foundation for Eligo Studio‘s remarkable transformation of a 1960s apartment in Milan.
Charged with the task of researching traditional Italian interior design styles and infusing them with diverse influences, Eligo Studio accomplished a remarkable feat.The result is a harmonious coexistence of various elements: the deep richness of burgundy accents, intricate gilt embellishments, sleek black lacquer finishes, and flax-colored wall coverings inspired by Japonisme.
These captivating features now harmoniously share space with a 1940s Italian chandelier, exquisite Murano glass lighting fixtures, and walls adorned in a gentle blue hue evoking the idyllic skies of Lombardy. This innovative interpretation of the Modern Oriental style proves exceptionally well-suited for compact living spaces. Japanese-style screens and partitions play a pivotal role in defining distinct areas within the apartment, showcasing their remarkable versatility.
