timeless architecture
| Amstelveen

a project by co van der horst 

​

 

the fireplace was used as a room divider shaping the way we perceive the living room and move through it. the placement within the architectural lines makes it more soothing and easier to the eye.

​

this sofa, a classical design piece is stil manufactured today by flexform. The timeless design of antonio citterio, grandfather of modern italian design, is named the groundpiece. 

a piece that breathes the spirit of modern design but with an italian nonchalance.  

​

connecting the elements, the architectonic lines are part of the interplay between the sections and dimensions of the sofa and the fireplace. 

​

complemented with an open boley gas fireplace embedded within a leather upholstered plateau. 

​

The look and feel of the space are focussed on a natural character within a modern space. The colors used make it feel more warm and tend to focus the attention on the fireplace. 

​

The light tones within the space balance out with the dark leather base of the fireplace.
