Warsaw Apartment transforms with walnut burl and terrazzo fusion

14 Aug 2023 CW Team

The interior renovation unfolds as an intricate puzzle of contrasting patterns, with each distinct "cube" within the apartment serving a specific purpose, further accentuated through veneer and colour. In the living area, a wall featuring swirly grey wood veneer, an homage to Ettore Sottsass' 1980s design, sets an artistic tone. The connection between the kitchen and lounge creates a fluid open-plan arrangement, juxtaposing distinctive pieces like the molten-looking Plopp stool and misshapen vase against floor-to-ceiling walnut-burl cabinets.

Terrazzo takes centre stage, forming chunky black-and-white legs for a breakfast bar and a striking burnt-orange dining table. Micro cement flooring and textured walls provide a versatile backdrop for geometric forms and bold patterns, capturing a balanced harmony of design elements.

The bathroom mirrors the apartment's flair, featuring glass-brick walls and monochrome tiles arranged in a grid pattern. A standout sink supported by cobalt-blue legs and a tortoiseshell cabinet crowned with a triptych mirror create an arresting visual composition.

The singular bedroom boasts a purple wardrobe that complements the rectilinear marble headboard, aligning harmoniously with the home's boxy geometry. This transformation embodies the artful juxtaposition of materials, colours, and shapes, culminating in a living space that is a testament to Mistovia's design prowess.

In a city that embraces innovative design, this apartment redesign stands as a testament to Warsaw's creative energy.
