This apartment features a unique combination of Scandinavian style with decorations paying homage to geometry.
At first glance, Nu Infinity’s selection of furnishings in decidedly Scandinavian style contribute to a conventional arrangement in a neutral palette – with a simple, yet prominent, decorative feature in the form of an isometric cube providing an introduction to the theme applied in this apartment. The isometric cube is composed entirely out of opaque lines and a single black polygon folded over a protruding corner, resulting in a unique representation of a three-dimensional object, and located at the centre of the apartment to act as the physical and thematic pivot around which the décor revolves.
The sloping ceiling of the seating lounge extends the reach of sunlight across the open space, the aperture of the full-height sliding glass doors growing progressively taller, up to the highest possible extent of the ceiling above the walkway and dining area.
The path from the foyer leads to a walkway subdividing the seating and dining spaces of the open layout, with the two distinct areas being unified in the use of Scandinavian furniture and by the expanse of white floor tiles. To maximise the available space around furnishings, the rectangular dining table is positioned with its short edge resting against the kitchen island counter, while its long edge serves as a physical barrier separating the dining area from the rest of the open layout. With this configuration, the robust dining table can comfortably seat up to six diners without obstructing any of the surrounding walkways.
Decorative Geometry: The conventional combination of neutral palette and furniture of decidedly Scandinavian style is given a unique twist with the addition of an isometric cube represented on a protruding corner of the seating lounge.
Mirroring the central geometric feature, and in contradiction to the deliberate simplicity applied elsewhere, the backsplash of the kitchen presents an intricate repeating pattern composed of overlapping hexagons. The dimensions of the resulting cells serve to alter the perception of size and scale in this compact corner, causing this wall of the kitchen to seem wider than if it was left unaltered.
Narrowing Focus: A wall in the kitchen features an intriguing backsplash subtly decorated with a motif of overlapping hexagons, the dimensions of the individual shapes contributing towards a space-widening effect.
Division by Furniture: The dining table’s length serves as a form of separation between the foyer and the remainder of the open floor plan, its footprint neatly aligned with a series of exposed pendant lights hanging overhead.
The bedroom at the end of the hall is similarly furnished as the rest of the home – in a surprisingly balanced convergence of disparate styles, living accents are placed in close proximity to simplistic geometric forms and Scandinavian furniture, along with pale blue fabrics evoking imagery of the countryside. A hanging light fixture in the form of an icosahedron – a 20-sided solid previously seen in the seating lounge, completes the divergent assembly.
