Primary colors and sharp geometries for an eclectic apartment in Genoa

In the renovation curated by bump studio, colour blocking creates walls, floors and entire volumes, punctuated by design objects and decorative surprises.

With the design of the Flip Blue apartment in Genoa, bump studio responds to the needs of the clients, to create a place coherent to the passions of a young couple, where the environment is pervaded by modernity and freshness, in stark contrast to the noble context of the early twentieth century building.

This desire is first reflected in the interior distribution and in the big living area that accommodates a sequence of three clearly identified spaces: the open-space kitchen, the dining table, and a relax area with a large sofa and TV cabinet.

The palette choice plays a decisive role in unifying the whole, with an emphasis on primary colors.

The vertical kitchen wall unit in fes blue unrolls in the micro resin floor, and then rises in the blue modules of the kitchen island placed in the middle of the “carpet.” The stoneware that characterizes the island block is also used in the wall unit, to obtain the worktop and sink. The red of the four pendant lamps above the island returns in the large radiator in the living room and in the metal stepladder that runs on its track along the bookcase wall, this latter acting as a backdrop for the entire open-space. A Foscarini ‘Tobia’ floor lamp complements the primary palette with vivid yellow, while red and blue return in chairs and stools.

The corridor designed as a colorful box leads to the two bedrooms and a third room for music and leisure. New colors, this time in pastel tones, distinguish the walls of these spaces, while the bathroom gives vent to an exotic atmosphere because of the tropical pattern cladding of the shower box, but especially because of its ceiling realized in frosted glass with different types of tropical leaves above it, illuminated by a beam of light.
