PROJECT: Salvatore Scarfone
RENDERING AND 3D MODELING: Salvatore Scarfone
Layout
Apartment with a fully-mirrored and octagonalshaped entrance hall, from which branch out the rooms of the apartment. I added ancient furnishings, famous design pieces, and others designed by myself, mixing very different eras, from the early XIX empire candelabras to a 1950’s bookcase.
Entrance room
The entrance hall has octagonal shape with mirror walls to reflect other rooms and create illusionistic effects:
- My design of an Art Deco table inspired to the works by Ruhlmann;
- a Deco style silver vase designed by myself;
- ancient chinese prints
If in the first version the walls were covered with mirrors, in the second one I transformed it into a “Chinese gazebo” also to enhance the collection of ancient Chinese prints.
Living room
Third project (final)
- The sofas are contemporary;
- the library has been simplified to allow switching between rooms;
- the left wall has been modified;
- the lighting has been changed;
- the fireplace has been replaced
Second project
In the second version various changes were made:
- The wall behind the library is now unified with the dining room;
- The marble floor has been replaced with the fish-bone parquet;
- The wall of the chimney has a “folding fan” decoration that reminds to Deco;
