Between oak and marble

A light-filled penthouse features modern furnishings in natural tones with refined details. The timeless combination of marble and wood is complemented by the classic style of bronze-finished knobs and handles with sinuous lines. A sense of softness is expressed in the rounded edges of the furnishings, the brushed finish of the oak and the light tones of the matt maple.

A kitchen in brushed-stained oak with a Carrara marble worktop dominates the bright living area of a Milanese penthouse. The peninsula unfolds in all its grandeur, interacting with the space in front of it through a rhythmic sequence of recessed doors with push-to-open mechanisms and internal shelves. It houses the hob and is softened by external radiating lines that extend from the Carrara marble worktop onto the fixed side panel in stained oak.

Full-height tall units and parallel base units house spacious drawers, pull-out baskets, shelves and internal drawers: functional elements that alternate to provide optimal storage for goods and accessories, enhanced by semi-circular bronze-finished handles. The composition is completed by two shelves – the lower of which incorporates an LED strip – which run parallel to the freestanding steel fridge.

In the sleeping area, stained oak meets classic style in the master bathroom, featuring drawers with high fronts and pronounced frames, rounded sides and a Carrara marble top with an undermount washbasin. The vintage-style taps echo the retro aesthetic and bronze tones.

The guest bathroom features the rounded shape of the freestanding unit on both sides, paired with a delicate marble with aqua-green veining that occasionally shifts to grey-pink. Bronzed handles are featured on the drawer fronts. In the utility bathroom, a recessed unit with a push-pull door flanked by oak shelves completes
