Postcard from Venice
A historic palace with a view of the Grand Canal is an excellent foundation for creating an elegant and luxurious ambience.
Beginning with the Venetian terrazzo floor, typical of patrician residences and grand places, every element of this expansive, bright and stately space is part of a mosaic of style striking a balance between classic and contemporary. The dialogue between the kitchen and the living room is open, free, but painstakingly designed: from the floor frames to the view into the dining room, from the exposed beams to the marble island.
History and classicism are reprised and reinterpreted by the timeless aesthetics of the built-in star column appliances from ILVE’s Nostalgie range, which integrates the trivalent Ultracombi oven, blast chiller and sous-vide, operating in combined cycles: an innovative and high-performance system, further enhanced by the oven with maximum temperature of 400°C (ideal for pizza), which can integrate seamlessly into an austere and impeccable environment.
A Loosian inspiration can be glimpsed in the choice of green marble for the island with sink, large worktop and the clean and essential Nostalgie induction hobs, which features the convenient knobs, also useful for the visually impaired, as well as energy efficiency, ease of cleaning and consistent cooking.
The combination of materials and colours embody a design theme that contributes to enhancing the character of the room: green, red, white, black and brass are the colour palette of a house where one sought to simplify and modernise the traditional concept of luxury. Also the choice of iconic furnishings of contemporary design, such as the Grace chair by Poliform, is part of this game of cross-references between eras and styles, with a clear and thorough vision of the contemporary home ambiance to be achieved.
