LUXURIOUS INTERIORS OF HOUSES AND APARTMENTS
Elegant interiors of houses or apartments usually do not age. Or at least they shouldn’t. A well-designed elegant interior is not built on trends and current fashion, as it fades too quickly. The verification of a good design usually takes place every 2-3 years. Industry interior design fairs in Milan and Paris ruthlessly expose what is already passé. From current trends, we only choose what has a chance to survive over time. To become an icon. Whether it’s a luxury interior of a large house or a small apartment on the 10th floor. We do not let producers and designers convince us what suits us. Fashion is the enemy of elegance. This also applies to interiors.

In harmony with classic and modern.
When designing luxury interiors for homes and apartments, we pay attention to original finishing products and equipment. In the age of cheap and easily available Asian counterfeits, is it worth bothering with this? We leave the issue of copyright to designs without comment. But we must answer two questions ourselves. Do we want the interior of our apartment to be durable? Cheap copies will not survive the test of time. Do we want the elegant interior of our home to be a profitable investment? An original piece of furniture or lamp designed by a great designer has a chance to become an icon. And they do not lose their value. Some products from the 50s, 60s or 70s reach astronomical prices at auctions. Furniture designed by Gio Ponti, Verner Panton, Vladimir Kagan, Pierre Paulin, Oscar Niemeyer adorn the most luxurious interiors of homes around the world. In addition to being comfortable and impressive, they have become very expensive items – design icons. Lamps designed by Poul Henningsen, Gaetano Sciolari, Gae Aulenti or Ingo Maurer not only shine beautifully and look great in elegant apartment interiors, but also cost a fortune. Examples could be multiplied. We draw from history and the present, but we try not to be their hostage. That is why we like and feel good in interiors where tradition and modernity intertwine. And we design such interiors. It doesn’t matter whether it is a over 300-square-meter interior in a luxury home or a 30-square-meter studio apartment. The binder is always: timeless proportions, symmetry, noble detail, and enduring beauty of natural finishing materials such as marble or walnut wood. It is worth mentioning precisely selected colors and light – brothers who do not exist without each other.

'Vestigia Semper Adora' in Latin means 'always respect the traces of the past'.
We often have the opportunity to design elegant interiors for apartments located in historic tenement houses. Some of the most beautiful buildings we work with are well over 100 years old. Designing luxurious interiors in historic buildings can be both exciting and stressful. At the beginning of each project, we always verify the condition of the space and determine what is “historic” and valuable, and what is a later addition left by previous inhabitants. Going back to the roots can be as exciting as discovering that Clark Kent wears pink underwear under his Superman costume. Sometimes, under layers of oil paint or paneling, we discover wall paintings, or under a gypsum board ceiling, a plaster stucco decoration. And under the panels, we may find an antique parquet floor. These “treasures” should be meticulously restored and polished like diamonds. They will look wonderful in the restored elegant interiors of each apartment. Of course, the responsibility for every line drawn in the design can be stressful. Needless to say, working with a historic preservation specialist is a daily occurrence. Our common goal is to ensure that our actions do not destroy the most valuable thing – our history.
