Step Inside An Art Collector’s Contemporary Apartment

This project became very special for O&A London Studio as it was created around phenomenal collections of painting, vases and records of the client.

While planning out the space the main objective was to incorporate all the collection items into the overall ensemble, while creating the atmosphere of a house with a history. Painting framed in unusual framework stress the importance of the space where every element is an art object.

The most interesting challenge in this project was of the client’s hobbies – modern audio equipment. This challenge was to integrate rather large and futuristic equipment into the saturated interior. Light coloured shelves holding the vinyl record collection created a portal composition and architecturally created an alcove for the equipment for the centre piece - a rare reel-to-reel audio tape player brought back from Switzerland. Basically it became the centrepiece art object of the musical living room.

The designers used subdued dimmed colour tones in the interior thus making the living and dining room areas harmonious and enveloping.

The chandelier above the dining table, from the O&A London Designer Collection, is a light installation rather than a light source. It is the quinta Essentia of the designers’ taste combining historical styles and modern technology. The technical construction of the Avior chandelier became the main element of design.

Elegant cupboards designed especially for the dining room go perfectly with art objects, giving the impression that they have been in this apartment for a long time. The designers created a personalised interior which is classical and unusual at the same time, featuring some modernist accents. Every room has an atmosphere of a a house with history, where collections were put together for generations.
