Functional coherence
The furniture, designed to be as functional as possible, conceals storage, keeps the floor visually free, and maintains continuous lines. The same visual language runs through the bedroom, living room, and dressing room: matte surfaces, clean material junctions, and seemingly simple yet meticulously executed carpentry details. This precision is also evident in the edges, perfectly crafted at 45° angles, and in the wallpaper applied to the furniture cladding.

The glazed dressing room
The transparent volume functions as a stage-like element. Flat mirrors and sandblasted glass panels blur the contours, while suspended LED tubes accentuate the verticality. Reflections multiply the light and add depth without overwhelming the space with opulence.

Layering of light
From LED lines following the main geometries to the suspended fixture marking the dining area, the lighting is designed to create intimacy and highlight natural textures. In the stairwell, a subtle height difference between the light elements enhances the vertical dynamics.

Epilogue
The home explores a balance between the useful and the poetic: efficient planimetry, authentic materials, restrained gestures, and unexpected details. Nordic minimalism intersects with a Japanese sensibility, resulting in a contemporary interior that is warm, grounded in everyday needs, and free of declarative labels.
