The Art of Design Issue 60 - 2023

Located in the green Hong Kong lung, this Chiodelli project was designed as an interpenetration between man and nature. Inspired by Oriental philosophy and approach, the materials and environments are integrated with the surrounding vegetation becoming a whole thing. Large sliding glass windows envelop the spaces enriching them with all shades of natural light and opening up striking perspective views of the Clear Water Bay waterfront and wooded hillsides. Extremely spacious, the living area has been divided into comfortable eclectic corners. From the living to the dining room, passing through the wine zone, the combination of materials, shapes and colours strengthens the design concept for an impressive result that scents of nature. The antique wood of the furniture chases the polished wood of the parquet floors and ceilings, meeting technology…

A bespoke design where comfort and nature meet. A two floor apartment overlooking the Mediterranean sea, where well-being aligns with design providing unique sensations in an elegant space. Referring to essential materials such as timber and stone, and having a panoramic levitated seaview, we were able to convey the sense of privacy and solitude in nature. Contemporary space was created by engaging pure forms and volumes which bring elegance enhanced by technology. The choice of wall coverings was guided by earthy and timber tones to give the occupant the feeling of warmth, especially through the decorative timber panels, which in addition to making the environment cosy produce a particular aesthetic and acoustic perception. The choice of wallpapers refers to the natural elements of laguna, foliage and animal kingdom. Thefloorismadeofwide parquet…

The business supplies pillows, duvets, towels and bed linen to many of Britain’s most prestigious five-star establishments including The Dorchester, The Ritz & The Gleneagles in Scotland.
