In a building overlooking the skyscrapers of Porta Nuova lies a remarkable home that embodies HENRYTIMI’s artinterior philosophy. Here, raw materials, sinuous forms, and precious details converge to shape a living space that feels both timeless and forward-looking, reflecting the spirit of a neighborhood suspended between history and the future.
At the heart of the apartment stands the “cucina ellittica”, the elliptical kitchen. Like a treasure chest, its natural clay shell, finished with a custom-dyed tactile surface, encloses a kitchen that feels like a precious, protected space within the larger living area.
«The beauty – and challenge – of this project lies in the harmonious dialogue between materials, carefully selected to resonate with one another». Henry Timi
Within its box, the kitchen unfolds like a monolith split into two welcoming halves, almost like an ark. Here, clay gives way to natural oak, a finish that recurs throughout the home in two variations – bleached and dark dyed. The countertop, in natural greige pompeii stone, is a bespoke creation born from the collaboration between HENRYTIMI and architect Salvatore Massone.
V-ZUG appliances integrate seamlessly into the space, enhancing its functionality without compromising its artistry. While the CombairSteamer V6000, WineCooler V4000 90 and CookTop V2000 I804 remain visible, the dishwasher and fridge are discreetly concealed within the floor-to-ceiling columns.
