Article source: Arch. Fabio Fantolino An apartment in a building of the early ‘900, located in the Turin hills a few steps from the Gran Madre and from the Piazza Vittorio, has been deeply and carefully restored in 2015 by architect Fabio Fantolino. The international vintage mood is the fil rouge of the project, where elements from the 50s are combined with a conscious recovery of pre-existing structures. The project includes the total renovation of the apartment, the interior design and the design of the lights and custom furniture.  Image Courtesy © Eugeni Pons

The charm of the environment is brought out by the many recovered elements such as the parquet flooring, the Louis XV fireplace, the ceilings with decorations and the large wooden beam, as well as doors and their frames. The harmonious result is given mainly by the inclusion of different individual objects that define different functional areas: a more convivial one, with a sofa and armchair and the other more reflective. The centerpiece of the space is the glazed brass pendant, with frosted glass bulbs, around which the many Phanto products make their appearance reflected from the super mirror steel table. The paintings are by the artist Fabio Pietrantonio.
