An art penthouse-gallery in the heart of Singapore, the financial capital of Southeast Asia and an open-air laboratory where a myriad of artistic and cultural influences meet, elegantly furnished by Gianfranco Ferré Home accessories.
The energy and creativity of the great metropolis is reflected in this Singapore penthouse enriched by artworks expertly selected by a refined gallery owner. An exclusive environment characterized by large spaces and immense windows with unparalleled views of the city.
L’arte dialoga con il design
The different areas of the house collect the works of which the gallerist is most fond, different in form and style, underscoring the eclecticism that characterizes the lifestyle of the homeowner. Samurai armor, an emblem of ancient times, acts as a guardian of treasures from different eras and artistic currents. Abstract paintings, combined with traditional Oriental ones, seem to reflect the enigmatic atmosphere of the city, while the city skyline becomes an integral part of the house, framed in turn like a priceless painting.
In this setting with magnetic energy, art dialogues with important and scenic furniture pieces, with the refinement of finishes and the expressiveness of materials to create a whole with a unique style and sophisticated appeal. A space that encapsulates the soul of the contemporary city – engaging, elegant, full of energy and emotion.
The Iconic Touch of Gianfranco Ferré Home
Inside this bright and harmonious penthouse, the gallery owner’s “sense of beauty” is expressed in the balance of elegance, comfort and eclecticism. In the large living area, an airy and light-filled space dominated by a color palette played on the juxtaposition of gray tones, two iconic sofas from the Gianfranco Ferré Home collection dialogue to create a comfortable and inviting relaxation and conversation area.
The Phoenix sofa, with its vintage charm harking back to the icons of the past, accentuates the metropolitan style of the setting and blends perfectly with the contemporary appeal of the Flair sectional sofa. The Jenga coffee table, with its pure volumes and essential lines expressed in the alternation of glass blocks of different colors, completes the composition with a refined aesthetic.
A true contemporary and cosmopolitan haven, the bedroom celebrates art and beauty through the warm tones of fabrics and carpets, the charm of paintings and sculptures, and the unparalleled view of the metropolis. The protagonist of the room, the Wynwood bed, with its solid and compact volume, combines comfort and aesthetic value and is distinguished by a headboard upholstered in houndstooth fabric that recalls the world of men’s tailoring and a storage compartment that confirms its functional qualities. A small study area overlooking the city skyline is recreated inside the sleeping area thanks to the sober and discreet presence of the Wynwood desk, characterized by essential lines and refined design.
Vintage charm and sophisticated allure distinguish the dining room, which features the Mayfair table, characterized by a top in precious Sahara Noir marble and slender legs reminiscent of the 1950s. The table is paired with Rio chairs, with an elegant silhouette and clean lines. The contrast between the slender structure of the legs with Smokey Grey finish and the enveloping shape of the seat upholstered in the collection’s fabric makes them original and eye-catching. The Douglas chandelier with bronzed brass frame and beveled glass shades completes the ensemble with its Midcentury appeal, illuminating the area dedicated to conviviality with a warm light.
In keeping with the style of the entire house, the impressive office area is also at once elegant, functional and comfortable. The Sean desk plays the starring role in the room: made of Tay wood stained smoke gray, it features bronzed finish bands and a leather-covered top that gives the desk a soft feel. It is combined with the Kurgan swivel chair, an original reinterpretation of the classic ergonomic office chair.
