We’ve all been loving Valentino’s Rockstud & Naked Rockstud collection as they have been on fashion enthusiasts everywhere.

Store Design in Milan By Fabio Novembre | Retail Design

11

Fabio Novembre, the designer behind one of the most famous chairs, Nemo for Driade, designed the new Who’s Who store in Milan. The design was mainly based on body silhouettes, a subject very dear to Novembre and has been the basis for most of the products and interiors he has designed. The monochromatic interior emphasized the gigantic silhouettes yet allowed the clothes to appear prominent through their vibrant colors. The space is marvelous, the details are so intricate and beautiful. Check out the remaining photos.

As Aperitivo bar By Nika Zupanc | Restaurant Design

A designer who hasn't been in the spotlight for her interior works because this is her first is non other than Nika Zupanc who is well known for her product designs never the less for top brands such as Moroso and Moooi. I found out about her work back in 2010 when I posted about her feminine range of furniture.
The first think that attracted me in this project was the beautiful chair, I know it's not a new design but something about it reminds me of the elegance of the Harry Bertoia chair but with a more updated twist to the legs since it was designed in 2010 by Jaime Hayon for Magis. The cherry pendants were designed by Nika herself in 2009. The other details however, such as the sinks, were custom made for this project.
I am not usually a fan of strong colors such as black and red together, but here they work magically together. The rippling feminine details of the furniture are mellowed down by the strong black and red. This project is just beautiful.
Enjoy the photos and details below.

Black And White Apartment In Moscow | Interiors

 

If I were to live in a ” single's” apartment, it would look exactly like this one designed by Boris Uborevich-Borovsky, Irina Selezneva, Oksana Lobanova, and Aleksey Antonov. It is 140 sq.m and located in Moscow. What I loved about it is the lovely application of a monochromatic palette, giving the space an illusion of being larger and very bright. The use of some of my favorite B&B Italia pieces such as the Papilio armchair in the bedroom and the Tufty composition sofa shown here in black. Also used in the apartment is a parquet flooring & Antonio Lupi bathroom fixtures.

This is proof that simplicity can be beautiful when well applied.

A Glamorous Parisian Apartment Using Ochres and Grey Color Palette

As much as this apartment is charming it is glamorous at the same time. A lovely contrast of matt and metallic finishes in an elegant palette of greys and golds are what make the space look so unique. Jean Louis Deniot designed this Paris apartment for himself.

Cozy And Modern House In South Africa | Interiors

Modern interiors have always been my preference due to the fact that I am not a fan of anything complicated. I am, however, a big fan of incorporating trends in a classic way that would live through the times. In this particular house the use of timber prevailed in the design and though might seem much, i found the materials and colors used very coherent and subtle. The warm wood, cold cement, and custom made furniture following the shapes in the house were blended beautifully. The number of bedrooms is quite intriguing as well. Below you will find the description of the space as written by the interior designers themselves.
