Windows become frames that narrate the space

A home filled with peace, built with a few essential gestures and a palette of materials in harmony with the surrounding landscape. The anthracite-colored windows by Edilpiù take center stage in this visual narrative.

Arper presented a new refurbished showroom in via Pantano in Milan, which underwent a total makeover signed by the Spanish design studio Lievore Altherr. Wood is the absolute protagonist of the project, connecting the different areas of this contemporary space and giving it a warmer, relaxing and conducive atmosphere.

The natural light coming in through the windows overlooking via Pantano and through the outdoor courtyard at the center of the showroom, strongly characterizes the space and emphasizes its volumes. Compounded by a specially redesigned lighting concept, it enhances colors and fabrics of the products on display and highlights details in upholstery and finishes.

An important architectural feature of the showroom has also received a complete makeover: the big, harmonious spiral staircase now looks like a solid block of wood encouraging a visit to the basement floor, where architects can find a suitable space as well as assistance for their projects for the contract sector, especially at the decision and customization phase. The refurbished showroom in Milan was indeed conceived first and foremost as a place for designers to tap their creativity. A space specially dedicated to materials: fabrics, finishes and colors are at the architects’ disposal in a welcoming atmosphere that fully reflects the brand’s philosophy and its potential.
