Luxury Interior Design Ideas by Marcel Wanders: mixing old and new

On the island paradise of Majorca, Spain, Casa Son Vida is a luxury villa that’s a little piece of heaven in itself. The modern architecture of the building by tecARCHITECTURE, described by At Casa as a “triumph of straight lines and rounded surfaces,” became a source of ideas for the luxury interiors – a stunning interior design by Marcel Wanders that "mixes old and new, distorts sizes, and enhances the contrast". The signature style of this Dutch designer shines through in every piece of furniture, artfully designed and composed for a dramatic whole.

The Topiary collection is reminiscent of a mushroom in shape, lending these sofas designed for Cappelini and Moooi a modern-natural and whimsical appeal. The New Antiques table by Cappellini is a sculptural centerpiece, complemented by the Couples pillows, designed for B&B Italy and tossed haphazardly in the center of the room.

The dining area is a sophisticated palette of black and grey on a clean, white backdrop. The black chandelier by Baccarat hangs dramatically over the carved table and chairs, created by Wanders for Moooi.

Continuing into a gilded retreat, the floral and gold Bisazza mosaic tiles by Wanders melt into the luxurious white Carrara marble floor. The Dream bed by Poliform, and the Ken stool by Quodes are cool creations by Wanders that elevate this sleeping and bathing area to dream-come-true status.

A second bedroom, also featuring the Dream bed by Poliform finished in Jester fabrics, is accented by Bisazza mosaic tile and the striking Paris mirror, designed by Wanders for Quodes. Rounding out this simple but stylish space are a Moooi carpet, lamps and bedside table.

Classic Contemporary Interior Design Inspirations by Pietro Carlo Pellegrini

This classic contemporary interior design by Pietro Carlo Pellegrini brings new life (and love!) to an old attic of a historic building located in Lucca, Italy. An urban-style living room is occupied by two chic sofas – a regal blue “Mex Cube Sofa” by designer Piero Lissoni and the crisp, white Philippe Starck “Private” sofa – facing the piece de resistance, a black Bisazza mosaic wall dubbed Napoleon, designed by Carlo Dal Bianco. (Love the white Cactus sculpture by Gufram!) Light oak floors and an exposed-beam white-painted ceiling lend the space a Nordic style. Through deceivingly small windows, natural light filters through gauzy white curtains and floods this large space. The kitchen is enclosed behind an ultra-modern folding glass wall. White cabinets line the remaining walls and at the center, a black table-style island provides prep space, a cooktop and eating area. An intriguing blue-lit hallway leads you from the living and dining areas to the bedrooms. The master suite is a dreamy space furnished with a cool, white LIPL bed by Jean Marie Massaud and Cloud end tables by Piero Lissoni. The ensuite bathroom, also a black Bisazza masterpiece, is accessorized by an unusual mirror hovering over a chic Bull stone sink by Antonio Luppi. Inspirations via At Casa
