Theatrical Mood

Primo Atelier presents its latest residential project: an eclectic apartment located on the most precious hill in Naples, Posillipo.

At the entrance, you can immediately glimpse the main volumes that make up this 85m² apartment: they are positioned on opposite sides and are respectively one in Canaletto walnut, soft in shape, and one in pink wood, soft in essence. Continuing we find ourselves in the living area which enjoys a wonderful sea view and is flooded with natural light thanks to the French windows and the use of transparent white curtains along the entire wall.

To the left is the kitchen but of which only a charming island can be seen while all the appliances, furniture and shelves have been hidden in the wardrobe system. Delimited by a step, the living room follows the minimalist design. Here, undoubtedly, the protagonist is the iconic Camaleonda sofa by B&B Italia which, thanks to its versatility, adapts perfectly to the environment. The curves of the sofa are taken up in Flos’ Arco floor lamp with the precious base in white Carrara marble. As e have none except a coffee table; the designers opted to include a ledge along the entire wall, made from the same material as the floor to camouflage it, which serves as a cupboard. Also in the same wall is a hidden door that leads to a small closet.

On the right, a very stylish dining area is made up of the Luxor glass dining table by Fiam Italia and Tom Dixon's black chairs with a witty silhouette that echoes the design of the sofa. A chandelier with white spheres adds a touch of playfulness. In the background is a large illuminated wardrobe, designed and created ad hoc for the project in a tailor-made way according to the customer's needs (as well as all the fixed furnishings and the kitchen island). Inside, there has been recessed a hidden door that leads to the guest bathroom. As in the whole house, the promiscuity of materials and shapes offers a sparkling variety of sensations that the versatility of the lighting manages to mitigate, giving moments of calm, focusing the spotlight on the single main elements, making them the protagonists of this theatrical show.

The bedroom with the adjacent bathroom is immediately on the left once you enter the apartment; its door is hidden and incorporated into the pink wood wardrobe system, which then delimits the perimeter of the entire sleeping area. This part of the house is also characterized by a set of elements that vibrate in the light, materials that are warm to the touch and precious natural stones that contain unexpected technological elements.
