There is an intersection between art, contemporary design and traditional craftsmanship that gives rise to a truly singular language. It is precisely as a result of this impact that frequently forgotten classical elements resurface and end up influencing the projects that the Paradowski Studio develop. And it is also in this spirited context that the PWL apartment fits best. If you like to wander through spaces where eras merge and colours erupt, this is the place for you. Get settled comfortably and fasten your seatbelt, because the journey is about to begin.
Located in Warsaw, the apartment designed for a young and creative couple is situated in a modernist context. In fact, modernism was the first reference that the duo Zuza and Piotr Paradowski seized on, among other influences. They have also added the intense colours and flowing shapes of the second half of the 20th century and, to brighten up this timeless combination, they have preserved the existing parquet floors, as well as the original doors and original porcelain electrical fittings.
If you think their concept of fusion is limited to this, you’re mistaken. The entrance area is dominated by greenery, which spreads across the walls, the cupboards and the winding ceiling. In the kitchen, traditional furniture has given way to a spacious wardrobe cupboard. Inside, one finds all the utensils one might need and, on the outside, the doors have been covered in wood printed with linen texturing. In the centre, we find a kitchen island that has come to us straight out of the 1970s.
