— Lili’s Bar at Sofitel Frankfurt Opera Hotel —
At the heart of Frankfurt is the recently opened 5-star-hotel Sofitel Opera. Not only does it provide a luxurious sense of comfort, but also a unique experience through the combination of the mid-century French Design style with the contemporary and modern culture of the city itself.
As you come to the Hotel, you are overwhelmed with the lobby’s refreshing feeling of elegance and sophistication, and you have a similar yet exclusive experience in each of the 120 rooms. The entire concept relies on this magical sense of standing in a wonderland where everything is extraordinary. And it truly is. The grace of every detail throughout the corridors lead the guests to astonishing places within the hotel, making them feel and believe in an artistic and conceptual design style.
The strength and naturality embodied in the furniture add personality and character to the design that, when combined with the concept behind, it makes Lili’s Bar a powerful and influential place to enjoy. The design features BRABBU’s Kansas armchair, MAYA armchair and the stunning MAASAI sofa. All of these handmade pieces make a statement through the high-quality fabrics used and the colour combination. It fits perfectly within the charm of the hotel.

— Mid-Century Hollywood Glam Penthouse in Spain by Bconnected Living Concepts —
When Hollywood Deco style meets Miami colourful vibe by the sea, the final result is this breathtaking penthouse anchored in sunny Mallorca. A three bedroom apartment where Bconnected Living Concepts and designers Monica Cernich and Marie-Luise Leja let the inspiration take over.
The Mid-Century Glam is more visible in the lighting all around the Penthouse with DelightFULL Brand to gain prominence with Brubeck Suspension in the Dining area.
Monica and Marie-Luise were responsible for the shaping of an elegant diplomatic suit into a sassy cocktail dress, flamingos and pineapples included: the best for the very best; an exquisite place for an exquisite family and as they said in their own words: “a client like this comes around once in a lifetime”!
— Fontain Square Apartments by Nataly Bolshakova —
The project consists of 2-bedroomed apartments located in the centre of Kiev, Ukraine, with a total area of 175m2 designed by Nataly Bolshakova. This project was created for a young couple, who are well travelled and have formed their own vision and taste in decor. The aim was a symbiosis of hotel style, luxury contemporary design and not dry minimalism.
The bedroom is a special place. Deep and warm textures of wood, ochre and bronze create a cosy feeling in the space. Bespoke design wood panels feature here. The open bathtub installed in the bedroom is an unusual solution, but it worked. Walls in the section containing the bath are covered with panels of glass and wood. The significant and decorative elements in the bedroom area are the lighting Coltrane by Delightfull.
— The Bennet Bar by Delphine —
“The experience at The Bennett revolves around the art of the cocktail, so we’ve accentuated the bar as the focal point. All seating around the elongated marble-topped bar is elevated so guests can watch the bartender prepare their cocktails.”
“To make The Bennett a truly special place, its elegance and intimacy had to stand out. This elegance is conveyed through the contrasting materials we used: the chevron dark wooden wallpaper, the plush blue velvet banquettes, the raw concrete floor, the shagreen leather on the table tops”
“To reinforce the path between the bar and the seating area, elevated wooden patterns were added onto the wall. Together with the retro golden chandeliers above the elongated black marble bar, they create a warm and intimate atmosphere. I always pay great attention to detail: when designing for the hospitality industry, this can elevate a space to the next level. The service bell I mentioned before is one of those details that no other bar in New York City has, but it is a feature a lot of people talk about and appreciate.”
— Barcelona Apartment by ARRCC —
The renowned interior design studio, ARRCC created the flawless interiors of a Barcelona Apartment, located in the prominent area of Passeig de Gràcia.

Each division displays a spectacular narrative that is enhanced by exquisite textures and polished raw materials, such as stained oak woods, bespoke vertical brass screens, modern cladding and lacquered panelling. Throughout the apartment, minimalist and modern appeal alongside masculine and feminine finishes are quite conspicuous.
“We wanted to create an intimate, warm and moody interior that we found was common in a lot of high-end boutique stores. Masculine colours and darker woods provide clues to the African rhythms. To build on this, we took a relaxed approach to curved shapes, adding draped leather sofas and details such as the vintage endocrine coffee table,” disclosed Mark Riely, the proficient director of ARRCC and project leader.

In 2016, Arch.Predmet Interior Design Studio completed the project of a country house in which they combined contemporary design and natural materials. As soon as the designers encounter the country house, they envision an empty space without any partitions. The layout of the place was made taking into consideration the wishes of the clients. For the ground floor, they opted for a spacious loft, a lounge zone, a study, a dining room with two informal living rooms and a small kitchen is also enclosed in this space.
Since the loft’s ceiling was 7 metres, the designers decided to design the space in the most efficient way, including arranging a mezzanine floor that includes a library and a cigar room. In the meantime, sleeping accommodations are located on separate floors. Each one has their own bathroom, walk-in closet, a mini-kitchen, and much more. In addition, renowned architect, Thomas bar reinforced the interior concept.

One of their favourite brands is the Portugal-based contemporary art furniture brand Boca do Lobo which was responsible for the design of the avant-garde and customised cabinets dubbed Pixel. The brand utilised four species of wood to complete them and the interior is decorated with powder-blue velvet matching the colour of the daybeds.

— Electic Apartment by Ganna Design —
Ganna Design was responsible for the interior design of an eclectic apartment, in central Taipei, Taiwan, providing a lovely family, an uncluttered yet playfully refurbished setting to live in.
With an open-plan living configuration, the three-bedroom apartment is installed with large windows on two sides, which offer plentiful natural lighting and mesmerising views of the city. The Living room was designed to be the idyllic family nucleus, integrating not only a dining space but also an open plan kitchen. In order to add a sense of playfulness, the designers opted for furniture designs that can be rearranged at the owners’ desires, for the exception of a few pieces. One of the key pieces that mirror this concept is the six sofa-mattresses that can be moved around or placed on top of each other, almost feeling like a game of Legos.
The design group selected finishes that are rough and delicate, which is made evident in the exposed concrete ceiling and the light coloured veneer flooring. Several other pieces, including the deep aqua-marine sofa and the kitchen counter, add a splash of colour in an otherwise desaturated palette, while a fur-lined rocking chair provides a spot of texture.
— Info Center at the Groninger Museum by Hayon Studio —
Hayon Studio was responsible for the conception of the new Info Center at the glorious Groninger Museum, in the Netherlands, which symbolises a “true pièce de résistance”.
Regarded as a crucial part in the Museum, the interior of the centre has been completely renovated and is now composed of a small theatre where films and documentaries related to running exhibitions can be viewed. Instead of developing a conventional impersonal atmosphere that is quite conventional in this sort of setting, the idea behind the Info Center was to concede a cosier yet functional approach that is more flexible. The designer also incorporated a series of objects that are reflective of the latest technological achievements.
The aim was also to create a truly exceptional space that was unlike any other one could possibly visit in a museum, thus the reason why every furniture design is custom-made and manufactured exclusively for the centre.
— Mayfair Townhouse by Katharine Pooley —
Katharine Pooley was briefed with the complete renovation of Mayfair Townhouse, an 11,000 square ft Grade II listed property in the heart of London’s Mayfair from former office block to a complete family residence. In particular, the client wanted the restoration and reinstatement of the architectural detailing, achieved sensitively, but with a contemporary finish.
Being a Grade II listed property, the brief stated that it was important for the design to respect the classic, period detailing but to also be workable as a family residence. Katharine Pooley was therefore inspired to use a fresh, light palette with contemporary furniture and accessories in order to complement the traditional detailing.
