Less is More
Less is More is a residential interior design for a 56 square meter apartment. The layout includes an entrance, a living room, a dining room, an open kitchen, a study room, a bedroom and two bathrooms. A half-height television wall replaces the solid wall between the living room and kitchen. A sliding glass door and reeded glass enclose the study room while keeping the plan open. Materials include iron parts, matte black glass, leather and raw concrete. The black, gray and white palette and the hand-applied wall textures create a calm setting.

The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is an international, meritocratic, just and fair design competition that rewards excellent design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
