My house
For me, the most fun project so far.
Our initial idea was to create a neutral canvas on which to paint with different elements.
Glazed tile, striped mortar texture, and neutral porcelain stoneware are repeated throughout the home with different layouts on walls and floors.
After living in Colombia for three years, our house was filled with memories of that time. A palenquera from Cartagena de Indias watches over the living room. I met artisans of all kinds who opened up a world of infinite possibilities. The sideboard made of reclaimed wood that I later painted yellow. The detachable stool created on a lathe with perfect curves (Ceci Arango) FURNITURE | Ceci Arango , the vibrantly colored baskets that brighten up the staircase landing…
The connection of spaces was also an important element when planning the project. The living room connects to the garden, the kitchen to the living room, the bathroom to the bedroom, and the staircase to the sky… Truly designed to experience the house as we wanted.
A microcement arch that inspired our Jalisco collection crowns the dining room space, leaving one to wonder whether it is a painting, a cabinet, or both.
In the kitchen, an uneven, fine microcement island centered in the space. I like cooking for friends while they have a glass of wine or keeping the girls company while they have breakfast in the morning. We designed many light fixtures tailored for every corner.
Mixing elements is how I truly feel at home. For me, the value of things is what one truly gives them. A palm lamp, grandpa's trumpet, or the chess set we bought at that flea market coexist with a designer lamp or candlesticks from an artist in Paris. And above all, I like to participate in the compositions by painting some objects, like the chairs, the girls' bench, or their nightstand.
The chimney pipe runs through our room with complete abandon. Custom design elements like the headboard or the bathroom island mingle with works by Pils Ferrer, Anton Aiguabella, or Moroccan mirrors.
