estled between pink and orange, the introduction of the new Color for this Year 2024, Peach Fuzz, marks the beginning of a new chapter, both in the world of design and in our lives. After the last few years of continuous changes, and I would say with a disproportionate speed, we are looking for an inner peace and compassion from others never experienced before. Warm and welcoming spaces are necessary to support our desire to be together, and the soft touch of Peach Fuzz will help us create them. On page 50 you will find how to use the new color of the year in our homes to give us a relaxing tone, and a selection of products that may be of interest to you. While returning to page 18 I invite you to explore the Design Trends for this winter, so you can stay ahead of the curve. We have tried to identify and offer you those ideas that we believe will resist beyond these cold months, making them easier to adopt. This is a rather varied list of proposals so that you can surely find something to furnish your home in a way that makes you feel great. There is also no shortage of stylish Interior Projects such as that of the architect duo of The Hippodrome Setting in Bangalore: a captivatingly designed apartment with eclectic accents which was also selected for the cover of this issue (page 62). All the proposed works have in common the passion for art. Some were conceived as empty art galleries where the owners themselves gradually insert pieces of art like the apartment by JC. Architecture & Design in Taipei (page 82) or that of Rina Lovko Design in Kyiv (page 90). Hope this year will be full of positive changes and each of us will find our own serenity and happiness! Have an amazing 2024 & enjoy the reading!

Spatial experimentation Designed by Gema Gutiérrez, FREGIO is the inaugural decorative piece of the SEMPITERNO collection by PUNTOFILIPINO. Composed of blocks of natural stone, wood and metal, this creation emerges as a sculptural exploration of architecture, whose design veers towards a geometric abstraction. This piece is an embodiment of spatial experimentation with sculptural forms, echoing a design philosophy like that of costume design, where classical architectural elements, such as fragments of pilasters, serve as muses to evoke a scenographic space reminiscent of a deconstructed ruin. www.puntofilipino.com

Office for Time-Travelers Temp Project designed the interiors of a 180 m² office located in the 1896 building erected by architect Andreas Ferdinand Krauss in the historical part of Kyiv.

The result is a bright and eclecHc office with local color accents and thoughlul, funcHonal zoning for 20 people.

Peach Fuzz

Like every year, Pantone, the global color authority and provider of professional color language standards, has chosen the Color of the Year 2024: it is number 13-1023 and it is called Peach Fuzz. It is a delicate shade between pink and orange that stimulates the spirit and feelings of closeness and connection. After last year's vibrant, bold pinkish-red Viva Magenta, and the stimulating Very Peri of the previous year, 2024 is conquered by the blushing orange-pink shade of Peach Fuzz. It is a warm and comforting color intended to bring kindness and empathy and, thanks to its versatility, it is easy to apply it in any sector, especially interior design. Being a pastel tone, it can be applied on walls as a base, or become a flagship color through the use of large furniture. It also matches effortlessly with other colors which makes it an extremely flexible color for creating interiors with interesting and unusual patterns.

LAURIE PRESSMAN, VICE PRESIDENT AT PANTONE COLOR INSTITUTE

Capturing the zeitgeist, the Pantone Color of the Year has become a point of reference for society by highlighting how what happens in our global culture is reflected and expressed through the language of color. PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz celebrates the 25th anniversary of the 46 | G&G _ Magazine

Pantone Color of the Year and was chosen to help us face the turbulent years we are experiencing. It communicates a sense of calm by sending us to quiet atmospheres where we can meditate and dedicate time to ourselves and others with the aim of feeling better.

PANTONE 13-1023 PEACH FUZZ IS EVERYTHING THAT OUR FABRIC IS ABOUT: HAPTICS, WARMTH, AND COMFORT. THIS COLOR, AND ITS MEANING, COULD NOT BE MORE PERFECT FOR US THIS YEAR. NICOLE MEIER, DIRECTOR OF BRANDING AT ULTRAFABRICS

WeWantMore Studio

To show how the Color of the Year can be incorporated into the environments of the future, Pantone collaborated with Ultrafabrics, the Japanese company that sets the standard for premium, highperformance fabrics by combining expert craftsmanship, cutting-edge technology and conscious innovation. The brand has a bold vision for the ways in which color can revolutionize interior environments and, together with Pantone, for the second year, will share its expertise through a series of interactive events, exclusive color palettes and color personalization across the Ultrafabrics range. Together, they will draw on the essence of PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz while continuing to build community by inspiring designers and planners with new ways to approach and use color in their work.


Peach Fuzz in Interior Design The launch of the soft touch of this pink-orange shade into interior decoration certainly offers welcoming spaces but depending on the materials or colors combined with it, different results can be obtained. After various research and matching tests, we offer you our selection of how the Color of the Year can be used in interior design projects without obscuring its delicacy and creating spaces with a modern taste.

DISCOVER “THE WORLD OF TOMORROW” EDITION


CRISP CHOREOGRAPHY Led by the architect duo Sanjana Srikanth and Shvetha Ganesh, The Hippodrome Setting completed the interior design of a 3-BHK apartment in Bangalore, mixing earthy materiality, generous daylight, and a contemporary identity transforming it into an endearing dwelling. Photography by Nayan Soni

62 | G&G _ Magazine




“The clients aspired to live in a sanctuary-like home that would mentally transport them away from the din of urban life. Our point of departure became a functional, timeless space reflecting a unified grammar.”

S

culpted to a T for a young couple, the dwelling is nestled in a thriving residential neighbourhood, situated about 15 km eastward off the city’s nucleus. The apartment's design is marked by an omnipresent interplay amid warm tones, raw materiality, metals, classic monochromes, and colour in coy doses. Entering the apartment, one is drawn into the gallery-esque foyer, which likens itself to a connective spine, branching into various nodes of the home. Flanking one edge is a metal and wood stratified partition system with curated bric-a-brac. This feature is a veil of sorts, endowing the communal areas it faces with a layer of privacy. Half a dozen greyscale prints form a collage, creating a subtle focal point. Swathed in hearty splashes of daylight, the living room is the home’s avowed oasis of

calm. Drawing from contemporaryminimalism principles, neutral tones, wood accents, monochromes, and modest ornamentation headline the space. The black elm coffee table is the objet d’art, accentuating the rawness of the wood’s interlocked grains. This zone is assembled over the grand expanse of a beige and white textured rug handwoven by local artisans. The television wall has been imagined as a harmonious part of the space’s canvas. The wall is covered in a gritty stone texture, overlaid by stained wood beading that borrows its colour from the living area’s elements. Roosted behind a ribbed glass door off the foyer, the powder room is awash in a heady shade of earthen orange, offset by a sea of retrogeometric floor tiles in black and white. A band of circlebearing sepia tiles line the wall, strengthening the warm palette while alluding to the shape’s recurrent presence throughout the residence.


To amplify the perception of space, the formal living area with an adjoining bar island has been placed behind the sofa. A live-edge countertop crowns the black elm wood base, the latter resembling a sculptural insert with its curved form and sinuous mouldings. An exposed wine rack along one edge introduces elevated functionality, making the in-house collection’s perusal seamless! The

eclectically-upholstered bar stools administer a strong dose of a rust hue and Aztec patterns, riffing off the monotoned demeanour of the space. The communal areas further unspool into the dining space, showcasing exceptional restraint using ivory tones, ash wood, and a motley of plush fabrics. The views framed along either edge of the dining area are divergent yet compellingly woven into each other’s vicinity - a spirited, red-orange kitchen and a finned crockery unit. The fabric luminaire paints the milieu at dusk with a gossamer hue, optimally suited for relishing conversations and sumptuous spreads. Bordering the dining area, the crockery unit symbolises functional elegance. Wood fins create deep recesses to display curated pieces upon thick pedestals. The grain quality of the wood embeds animated movement, enabling one’s gaze to soak in the details with keen attention. The unit turns a corner with a wooden fin assuming a gently curved silhouette, forming a pooja nook. Brass bells descend from the ceiling, framing the deity in a serene vignette.



“The colours intensify the visual contrast to the muted shell of the apartment, making this a frame discovered almost by surprise while exploring the home.” 68 | G&G _ Magazine


The dining area overlooks the kitchen characterised by rich colours and dramatic imagery, exhibiting alchemy between terracotta millwork and a lattice of lustrous, ebony backsplash tiles. Steering one’s transition through the residence, the rear end of the passageway creates a moment of intentional pause. A tailor-made clay wall installation by The Potter’s Place impersonates the fusion of artisanship and modernist inclinations. Crafted by a homegrown collective of sculptors, the installation showcases handmoulded clay forms against a grainy wooden backdrop, enticing one to touch and feel finishes peppered throughout the apartment. This centrepiece is an

impeccable segue into the couple’s retreat, the media room. The imposing door to the that room is lofty, painted matte black, save for its crimson handles. The unconventional colour choice elevates the status of the door to an artistic creation that also serves as a spatial element. The architects wanted to brew a sense of intrigue as one pushes the doors open to the couple’s realm of entertainment. Mystery and awe rent the air as a dark-toned palette cloaks the room’s interior. The walls are painted black, and the choice of light wood veneer draws on their distinctions to offer the residents a cinematic ambience wherein the materials put on a theatrical performance of their own.


Grounding its inhabitants in a caress of zen, the master suite bears a filmic quality of tranquility that verges on ethereal. The room rests behind the sheltering clasp of a black elm double door. Its charcoal hue commands attention, bashfully guarding the refuge it holds within. Details like the crown of circles overhead, the louvred slats for privacy, and the sleek brass hardware grant the door an installation-like identity. Inside, the design vocabulary is evocative of whimsical Scandinavian quarters. The array of wood rafters leads one’s sight towards the upholstered bed — its headboard extends into an installation of rectangular members resembling a delectable bar of white chocolate! On one side, the banana fiber pendant softly radiates its light over the canvas of framed fabric, facilitating an appreciation of the textile. The room’s flooring sits dressed in a light wood laminate, layered in areas by handwoven rugs. The journey to the bath is prefaced by a linear dressing space equipped with a fulllength mirror cum sliding door and peripheral wardrobes in ash wood. The ensuite bathroom dives deep into the semblance of indulgence, anchored by a suave porcelain bathtub atop the speckled mosaic floors, tenderly lit by the globed chandelier above. A shower cubicle and capacious vanity elevate the benchmark of luxury, the latter enlarging the visual expanse and light with its trio of oblong mirrors forged in black metal to counterbalance the copious beige.

“Creating a dialogue between whites and woods, the bedroom is the perfect stage for daylight and textures to emerge prominently, highlighting the theme of ease and comfort.” 70 | G&G _ Magazine



Embedding tactile warmth amid modernism, the guest bedroom fondly hosts the family’s loved ones. The eggshellhued room celebrates the union of muted colours, natural materials, and resilient textures, bolstering the narrative that

courses through the apartment. A light wood bed dominates the scene, its slender olive headboard posing as the harbinger of colour. Below, slatted wood and segments of cane create projecting nightstands, incorporating playful texture into the blend.

INSIDE OUT

OUTSIDE IN North of Tel Aviv, in the small town of Ramat HaSharon, the interior designer Tzvia Kazayoff projected a 180 m² penthouse for a family where she skilfully blurred the boundaries between interior and exterior, subtly integrating the owners' love for the sea while creating a vivid. Photography by Itay Benit


76 | G&G _ Magazine


he owners, a couple in their 40s with two growing children, acquired a spacious contractor's apartment in the heart of the city and turned to Tzvia even before its construction - in this way the designer was able to make structural changes where it was necessary. She delved into and examined the various scenarios—from how the family operates on a day-to-day basis to times when they entertain guests. So, the spaces are highly versatile, suitable for any situation, and sync according to demand. The graded design begins in the living room, mainly used by the family in the evenings and designed in darker tones. In its center lies an amorphous sofa upholstered in French fabric and round armchairs. The aim of the rounded geometry is to soften the straight geometry, but there's an added dimension here: the family loves the sea, and the maritime wonder is reflected throughout the apartment in subtle ways. We chose not to go for obvious sea motifs and instead inserted distinct maritime elements in organic and amorphous forms with sandy hues that mimic the movement of the waves. The fireplace wall in the living room blends iron construction, black-stained veneer, and glass, serving as storage while housing a drinks bar. The living room overlooks a large terrace which hosts various social areas including a dining zone, the outdoor kitchen with a BBQ, a lounge area with a majestic fire table - everything is accompanied by lush vegetation, sophisticated lighting and views of the city.


into the tall wall, with reflective glass panels and internal lighting, where serving dishes and food are stored. Above the island hangs an iron construction that serves as a decorative installation for displaying elegant utensils: This element, made of Belgian profile, anchors the island in the space and stands out prominently against the light background. It acts as a connecting axis between the kitchen and the dining and lounge areas through the adjoining terrace enclosed by dark Belgian profile. For this area, the design team created a transparent, retractable, and foldable canopy ceiling, which can be closed to turn the open terrace into an internal room usable in any weather. A large round dining table has been placed there, perfect for family meals, and next to it, a deep and comfortable L-shaped sofa for relaxing. Furthermore, this area is located behind the living room, allowing the fireplace to warm both areas simultaneously on cool days.

The guest amenities, designed as an extension of the living room, also sport a dramatic style. The walls are clad in a geometric mosaic of blue and gray, and in the intimate space, a concrete sink stands atop a sink stand crafted with shelves for displaying candles, magazines, etc. The iron and black-stained veneer present in the living room are also the materials from which the design team created the library that stands against the wall leading to the kitchen. It serves as a connecting element between the spaces: a sort of pause between the current drama in the dark living room and the open, bright, and airy kitchen. The kitchen cabinet fronts were cut and painted in a light gray shade. Two asymmetrical surfaces were integrated 78 | G&G _ Magazine



Adjusting the proportions of the original bedrooms allowed to create a spacious master bedroom, children's sleeping suites, and guest facilities near the public wing. In the center of the master bedroom, painted in a light sandy hue, stands a round bed in a shade of deep blue – a representation of the sea. The freestanding wardrobe dividing the functions is light, airy and metallic, reminiscent of the open design prevalent in the Mediterranean basin countries. The master bedroom's terrace section turned into a wardrobe room defined by a ceiling and glass walls, which can be opened at any time. The wardrobes are on wheels, allowing their positions to be changed as needed. 80 | G&G _ Magazine


Each suite of the children includes a sleeping area with a large wall-to-wall wardrobe and an ensuite bathroom, separated by a glass wall surrounded by Belgian profile. The rooms were designed as one unit in the same calm color palette, making the bathroom area a direct continuation of the room, and if the door is left open, it creates a homogeneous and intense space. The color scheme chosen for

the son's room is bold and intense against the backdrop of gray tones, while for the daughter's room, the design team opted for softer shades. The standout feature in her bathroom is the specially designed tiles with delicate relief resembling paper cuts. The ambient lighting installed in the rear part of the circular mirror above the sink creates an atmosphere throughout the space, including the bedroom.

ocated on a busy street in Taipei City, this 310 m² apartment belongs to a couple in their 60s who loves to travel, cook, entertain, do outdoor sports and plant. The designers ensured that the house would be a sanctuary that reflects the owners' enthusiastic personality and vibrant lifestyle, and also a stage for them to share their passion for life, their individuality and favorite pastime activities with friends. In addition, there was a special request to create a luxurious style that goes beyond the ordinary concept of luxury. For this reason, rather than fill in all kinds of luxury goods, the designers got inspired to create a unique elegant house to fit owners' personality. Upon entering the house, you immediately perceive a very refined area: the dark wood floor creates an elegant contrast with the white walls and ceiling, the simple lines define the space. It is an ideal backdrop for valuable furniture and art pieces. The social area opens onto a vast open space consisting of a living room, dining area and kitchen. One of the first things you notice is a series of three rectangular white cabinets

“We imagined this house as a big artwork which inspires people and ignites desires, in the most imaginative and playful ways possible.”

without handles. The central one incorporates the television and behind it the designers opted for a black wall to create a certain continuity with the floor but at the same time maintain contrast. Furniture with curved shapes were chosen to break up the straight lines. The iconic Mart armchair by B&B Italia designed by Antonio Citterio with its concave shape makes the environment more welcoming. While Moroso's Redondo sofa by Patricia Urquiola in pink quilting gives a touch of color and above all softness thanks to its curved shape enhanced by the total absence of edges.

A multipurpose area delimited by the light wooden floor has been included along the wall of windows, which can also be accessed from the entrance cloakroom. By opening the French windows, it turns into a place where owners can make flower arrangements during their leisure time. Another area which received much attention to detail was the bookshelf with a passionate red color that the designers had provided the owners as a blank space waiting for them to contribute their living art. There is also a table with chairs and by closing the area with the folding door, you have a room of privacy.


With an eclectic selection of materials and unique features, the home showcases a breakthrough in luxury apartment design. A huge, sculptural table acts as a dining table while a spectacular circular chandelier has been hung above. As seating, the designers chose black dining chairs and a pair of solid wood benches from Riva 1920. To delimit this area, the fish-shaped light wood parquet was laid which leads up to the kitchen island. The latter is made up of two parts: a breakfast counter and a complete work area with taps and hob.

Before accessing the sleeping areas, we find a small intimate lounge; the light-yellow curtains give it a joyful atmosphere. The room is flooded with natural light thanks to the French windows that open onto the large veranda full of plants of the house, which can also be accessed directly from the kitchen. 86 | G&G _ Magazine



The bedroom has a minimalist design. The dark wood headboard of the bed seems to be a continuation of the floor while the bed seems to be suspended and is the protagonist of the room. The wall behind is a delicate shade of purple to white, from bottom to top, creating a very relaxing atmosphere. In front, a big transparent window (partly satin) with black finishes separates the bedroom from the bathroom - the same design used for the sliding next door. The bathroom hosts a central element of 88 | G&G _ Magazine

the home and carries with it the nauticalinspired theme with white and blue tiles, enhancing the refreshing senses and brightening the space without having too much natural light. In detail, the designers made the tiles grow from the floor to the wall, recreating the sensation of seeing the ocean waves rise surprisingly beyond the surface. In the center of the room, a huge piece of furniture has been inserted which houses the bathtub on one side and the double sink on the other; a mirror block was hung above it.

"OUR AIM WAS TO CREATE A SPACE NOT SURCHARGED WITH DETAILS WHICH COULD BE A PERFECT BACKGROUND FOR EXPOSITIONS AND AT THE SAME TIME BE COMFORTABLE FOR HIS STAY AND REST DURING HIS VISITS TO THE CITY."

T

he main actors in the apartment are the owner himself and the works of art that he studies. Since the owner does not live in the apartment permanently, his request was to have an appropriate office space as well as a place for rest, a functional kitchen, and a dressing area with a possibility to take care of clothing. The apartment being relatively small motivated the design team to make use of the existing meters very rationally and not to overcomplic ate the space with complex design. The windows face the same side, 92 | G&G _ Magazine

overlooking the historical center streets. The apartment is divided into an entrance, a large, combined living room-kitchen, and a separate bedroom with an open wardrobe section. Inside we find a cold grey colour scheme, but the atmosphere can be easily changed by adding new spots of attention and accessories, and the works of art by different authors will appear here often. The accent in the whole space is made of wood. Almost all the furniture that was used (the stool in the hall, the kitchen table and the bookshelves) were custom made for this project. In order not to make the level of ceiling lower the team decided to leave it concrete. For this reason, the designers did not hide the electrical wiring and changed the positioning of the air conditioner and ventilation system which can be controlled from the dedicated cabinet. In the kitchen with a very simple and clean design, a hob with built-in hood has been used. To give a soft light point, above the wooden balcony in the kitchen, Lumina's Daphine wall lamp with a minimalist aesthetic was included. NORR11's bar stools complete this area.



The walls were hand painted with a paint containing a glass sand which contributes to the surface texture and a sensation of color depth. The wooden planks used for the floor once covered the granary walls. That is why it's possible to note the fragments’ different widths and the surfaces’ unique texture. The wood, which is about seventy years old was processed in the brushing technique. To accentuate this special texture, the designers made a color of the wood warmer by combining several tones of light and grey paint and worked the top layer manually. In the living room Mags Soft sofa by HAY gives a milder, relaxed tone thanks to its rounded edges and soft cushions. Its low frame has a distinctly lounge feel, reinforced by the deep seats that make the atmosphere more open and welcoming. The painting 'White Relief' by the Ukrainian artist Mykola Kryvenko gives movement to the space. Next to it, a very minimalist work area was included consisting of a large wooden shelf that acts as a desk and a padded chair with armrests with a light and elegant profile.



The sliding bedroom door helps to use the space more efficiently. The solid double spring handles on satin black rosette by Formani have been integrated to enrich spaces and create a harmonious whole. The designers have chosen a bed by soft lines and square that make it a refined and contemporary for the bedroom. 'Lilac' artwork by Oleksandr Babak with its bright colors gives a touch of audacity. Next to the bedroom, delimited by a step, we find a wardrobe area and a freestanding bathtub. A sliding door leads to the bathroom which 96 | G&G _ Magazine

is also accessible from the corridor of the apartment. The walls and floor were coated by micro cement covering which creates the seamless effect. This idea prolongates in the rest of the objects. The wall cabinet with a hidden mirror is covered with the same micro cement, the color of sink made of artificial stone is in harmony with the walls. The contrasting elements are faucets which are matt black. Clean lines, geometric shapes and a single colour scheme make this bathroom an ideal space for relaxation and energy recovery.

ith a surface area of 180 m² distributed over 4 levels, this residence has been the subject of a complete architectural and interior redesign with particular attention to decoration and the creation of custom-made furniture. The spatial organisation and layout of the house were guided by urban planning constraints. The width of the plot was quite limited, so the design team had to deal with the depth of the house. As a result, the ground floor of the future house is aligned with the west and east side boundaries. The street level is lower than the level of the natural ground, so a part of the site has been terraced to create an accessible ground floor. The main entrance is via a small courtyard laid with paving stones. As the result the layout of the villa is neither obtrusive nor intrusive, with a massing that draws on the remarkable context of the heritage house.

This dwelling has been designed with the charm of old houses in mind, using wellcrafted natural materials such as handmoulded bricks, lime plaster and oak parquet flooring, as well as mouldings, cornices and ceiling roses, and a palette of natural tones. In the entrance hall, a custom-made mosaic carpet sits in front of a large arched oak glass door that opens onto the light-filled reception room, where a large U-shaped sofa invites you to take a seat around Charlotte Perriand's Mexican coffee tables, re-edited by Cassina, in front of a bespoke fireplace. While on the left we find an elegant dining area framed by a rattan carpet. An organic and elegant Gubi table is surrounded by Vincent Sheppard armchairs and a custom-made Mobitec bench, above which stands an original work of art created exclusively for the clients by Elodie Lechevallier, a decorative painter.

"We worked to achieve the perfect balance between past and present in this large-scale new build, where every detail has been designed with great care, adapting the functionality to the family and young children." 100 | G&G _ Magazine

Projected by kitchen designer Arthur Bonnet, the open kitchen overlooks the living room. The choice of wood panelling and the light-coloured island echo the tailor-made fittings in the living room, which are reflected in the mirrored kitchen splashback. Furthermore, for the kitchen island it was decided to include a type of moldings that match perfectly with those on the walls. The entire living area has large windows that let in a lot of natural light and through which you access the outdoor dining and lounge area.


"We have created this residence by combining Haussmannian details with more contemporary details, so that the spaces resist the passage of time."

The staircase, with its bespoke balustrade designed by MEEJ Architecture, leads to the upper floors, where there are no fewer than 4 bedrooms, 1 master suite and 2 bathrooms. Here too, the harmonious use of materials, mouldings, cornices and delicate, more contemporary details create a dialogue of finesse and refinement. Like

the wallpaper set off like a painting with a frame of mouldings in the children's rooms. The main bathroom consists of a bathtub, shower, toilet and cabinet with double sink made of the same wood as the kitchen. To add a pop of colour, one wall was painted sage green which is reflected in the opposite mirrored wall.


The master suite has been designed like a suite in a top-of-the-range hotel, where refined details and elegant composition come together perfectly. The headboard of the bed was custom made and contains two hanging bedside tables made of the same wood as the walk-in closet; above we find moldings on the walls that reflect its symmetry. Framed by an arch without a door, the custom-made walk-in closet acts as a passthrough to the master bathroom. Although there is already a small window, to give more natural light, an arched hole was created in the wall bordering the bedroom. A comfortable wall-to-wall carpeting has been placed in both spaces. Entering the bathroom, on the right a wooden cabinet with a double sink has been positioned, an oval mirror above it 106 | G&G _ Magazine

reflects the shape of the arches. On other side, an open shower is separated only by a transparent wall with black finishes. At the back, the freestanding bathtub was positioned, and an arch-shaped mirror was set into the wall which gives a theatrical character to the entire space.
