Oversized geometries, trendy palettes: this is how contemporary interiors aim to personalize the interiors with decorative coverings – wallpaper, fabric or ceramic – with a strong decorative impact.

 

A unique choice

The reason is simple: the decorative covering is an element that strongly characterizes an environment. And it does so in a radical way.

From the 70s onwards, when Scandinavian design from Northern Europe conquered Italy, its charm has never waned.

 

Essential, sober and bright

With perfect geometry and linearity, Nordic design is characterized by a simple and linear style, the use of natural materials, clean lines, textures of quality materials and essential and functional shapes. There are many connections with the minimal style, but Nordic style furnishings have a warmer and more welcoming soul.

In our most recent creations, leading attention is paid to the bathroom. And the brands we offer in many of the Atelier’s projects fully satisfy the expectations and desires of our most demanding customers.
What was classified as a “toilet” throughout the twentieth century has in fact become one of the focal points of the residential project in the new millennium.

The domestic bathroom has become THE BATHROOM.

It is the place of privacy par excellence, body care, relaxation and well-being. And precisely for this reason architects and designers are committed to its design in search of innovative solutions on an aesthetic, technological and functional level.

The bathroom is an added value, and apartments are often built or renovated with multiple bathrooms diversified by type and purpose: the master bathroom, linked to the main bedroom; the second bathroom, for children or guests; the service bathroom, which performs laundry functions.

The styles vary in harmony with the taste of the house and the clients, but there are some transversal trends that have emerged in recent years.

Tub versus shower. The more secluded bathtub in past years has returned to being a protagonist element: less technological, more traditional with a beautiful design to show off.

Shower, or rather shower environment: functional and possibly oversized protected by thermal glass and with a technologically designed shower head to guarantee maximum efficiency and water saving.

Sanitary fixtures, the toilet is the great protagonist of this family: borrowed from Japanese tradition, a technological and multifunctional closed toilet is also establishing itself in other countries.

As regards the taps, in addition to the great attention to saving water, the return to the trio composed of the dispenser with 2 knobs for water, hot and cold, should be noted .

The choice of covering materials allows for a strong customization of the bathroom environment. To round off with beauty, designer radiators, ready-to-wear saunas and mirrors: many and of various sizes to to please the large crowd of contemporary daffodils.

Sustainability is a word we hear more and more often, used by companies and people to emphasize the need to consume less and better to respect the environment and the planet.

Everyone of us has made more sustainable choices in our lifestyles in recent times, some more, some less: from not using plastic bottles, plates and glasses for example, to not buying products that come from countries where there is exploitation of labor often even of children, from limiting clothing acuists to consuming less meat, not using polluting detergents, etc…..

Furniture companies that I deal with and know very well are increasingly moving towards choices that are considered sustainable: from the use of quality materials that last over time, to adopting rules in the production process that do not pollute, that respect the environment and energy resources.
These are also ethical choices that more and more of us consumers are paying attention to.

The quality of furniture products, technical, functional and aesthetic, is essential to ensure their durability, so that they remain in good condition, continue to perform their function for us and our homes, and never stop pleasing us by becoming ‘evergreens’ that never go out of fashion and whose value increases over time.

Our family business has always espoused this principle, ever since the word ‘sustainability’ had not yet entered our common vocabulary.

Quality has a cost that pays for itself over time: as our elders used to say ‘He who spends more spends less’. This was in the era before consumerism and the ‘disposable’ trend that for a number of years dominated our purchases especially of clothing, but also, to some extent, of furniture.

Here you will find interviews with furniture entrepreneurs that I conducted during the Salone del Mobile 2023: two of them-Lorenzo Porro and Alessandro Sarfatti-explain how their companies deal with the complexity of the increasingly central and strategic issue of ‘sustainability’.

Atelier was commissioned to design an outdoor veranda, a covered patio adjacent to the side of the villa facing the pool. The goal is to create a filter between the inside and the outside: between the kitchen, where food is prepared, and the garden with the swimming pool where one can pause from spring to fall, receive friends and dine indoors while enjoying the fresh air and greenery..
