Living
City residence on Limmatquai
A retired couple chooses a stately old building in the centre of Zurich as its urban home base. Exquisite fabrics complement the historic structure and lend the venerable rooms cosiness and sophistication.
Fine drapery (here by Dedar) serves as a link between old and new in the sunny flat—as does the lighting fixture by Servomuto, a fresh interpretation of Viennese wickerwork for Thonet Vienna ...
... as soon as you enter, you are greeted by a magical play of light, thanks to the Bijou lamp by Donghia New York that illuminates the golden wall covering by Misha Wallpapers …
... the light-flooded living room is crowned by Borek Sipek’s hand-blown glass chandelier for Lasvit. Luigi Frighetto’s armchairs for Black Tai are decked out with custom-made fabric by Nobilis Paris ...
... RoomDresser upholstered the sofa by Missy Vandenberg and Gabriele Rosina for Donghia with a grainy bouclé from Dedar Milano and adorned it with specially made silk pillows ...
…. the superbly refurbished panel parquet flooring wends its way through the entire floor, set off by exclusive curtains made of fabrics from the Italian fabric house ...
… ornate trimmings grace the heavy Dedar drapes, a mix of classic stripes and grippy textured linen, sewn in the in-house studio ...
... they frame a view of Lake Zurich, the Limmat, and its promenade, reflected here in the dressing room in the grey glass fronts of the Rimadesio wardrobe …
… inspired by the formal rooms where ladies once retreated after dinner, the blue of Farrow & Ball’s wall colour adds intimacy to the bedroom....
… the headboard, a RoomDresser design in velvety corduroy velour by Jim Tompson, has white leather piping that perfectly complements the Ginger Brown bedside tables in stingray skin
