The FNL Apartment by Paradowski Studio drips in luxurious tactility.The somewhat unconventional abode was designed for a young couple with their personal character felt throughout.A certain austere charm and organicity are mixed with distinct colour choices and room dividers creating a sense of intimacy reminiscent of work by Italian artist Carlo Mollino.

A made-to-measure shelving system, executed in raw rolled steel and weighing over 600kg, lines the living room wall. A raw textural delight, the steel bones are bolstered by decorative wood and marble inserts.Styling adds depth with a screen reminiscent of Jean Dunards designs and a Japanese inspired solid oak coffee table.The Amura Lapis sofa in red pops against the subdued, earthy plaster walls and polished concrete floors.Together with a set of vintage easy chair armchairs upholstered in a cream boucle fabric their swelling, curvaceous forms are a contemporary take on classic design.

The kitchen has been designed with occasional use in mind.With a minimalist approach, it focuses on simple forms and high-quality materials.A stone travertine washbasin sits farmhouse style nestled in the complimentary countertop, a natural addition to the palette. Cabinets float above the ground, made from a structure of black lacquered steel profiles and clad in ebony creating a light expression in the space.

A shelf in patinated bronze finish curves along the wall acting as a continuation of its much larger living room counterpart. A custom-designed table made of blackened oak is the central fixture of the dining room.Flanked by Vitra Standard chairs by Jean Prouve its encased in a black partitioned glass box.A painting by Christophe Meyer contrasts with the white Diesel Foscarini floor lamp.
